Our New Books - She-Vampire of Tempe - Bottomfeeder
The Good News: Simon & Schuster has bought a third novel in the
Casa Dracula series. I’m delighted. I also received beautiful glossy galleys for my second novel,
Midnight Brunch, so I’m a happy camper.
Countdown to the Release of X-Rated Bloodsuckers: It’s only 11 days to the official release of Mario’s second novel, and the reviews are great. The Barnes & Noble review says: “For fans of genre-blending sagas -- like Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, Charlie Huston's Joe Pitt novels, and Simon R. Green's Nightside sequence -- who enjoy the mélange of mystery and fantasy, Acevedo's novels are an absolute must-read. Equal parts Raymond Chandler, Anne Rice, and Hugh Hefner, these laugh-out-loud-funny, darkly absurdist, and downright addictive novels will makes a fan out of anyone who reads them.”
Don’t Complain About Your Crummy Valentine's Day: In Tempe, AZ, a man showed up for a date of kinky sex. He wanted kinky and he got kinky – the so-called
Valentine She-Vampire, Tiffany Sutton, tied up her date, cut him with a knife, and then drank his blood. No word yet whether she was a member of the
space program working on a movie deal.

Another Funny Vampire Writer: Over
at Skullring,
Matt Stagg interviews Bob Fingerman, the author of the darkly comic
Bottomfeeder. Booklist says the book is written in “a punchy, up-to-the-minute urban vernacular that, while it brims with abusive humor, squelches romanticism, provokes other-than-sexual interpretations of vampirism, and helps propel Bottomfeeder to the front ranks of its genre.” I’m adding this to my to-buy list.
