True Blood Season 2 promo from France

Go Ask Dallas: Why is Dead in the Family, Sookie Bk #10 Delayed?

No wait--- the book isn't delayed, we still expect it May 4th 2010 but I have had tons of people emailing me ask where the cover art is an WHERE in the HELL is the first chapter!


Everyone is right the cover art was released for Dead and Gone on Nov 25th 2008 and Chapter 1 was release on December 4th 2008.

Yes, it's December 5th today and no cover and no 1st chapter. So, what's the deal ?
As to the cover : Charlaine does have the cover, she has said so on here blog,

The cover is a beautiful blue.~ maybe Sapphire - like Eric's Eyes
and
The cover does have sparkly. I'll see about getting it up soon.
Charlaine Harris


As to the chapter: Well, it seams to be ready too --they are just teasing a little.

This was a question on blog: It's now December - can we expect chapter 1 of Dead in the Family???? (oh please, oh please, oh please!)

Here is the answer: In the past it's been posted as late as the 15th. Just be patient and keep an eye out.

I'm betting on next week before we get too close to Christmas !
So get ready for your first taste of Dead in the Family...

How's Bill doing with the silver poisoning ?
How's Sookie feeling and recuperating ?
What about the Blood Bond with Eric ?
Poor Claudine and Tray -what's the fall-out ? Please don't leave Amelia!
Does Eric tell her where he was in the first chapter ?
What next from Felipe de Castro ?

Just a few questions , what are yours ?

Digging Up All the Old Vampire Jokes

“Transylmania,” a vampire-hunter, college road trip sex comedy, has a problem: someone has drained all the laughs out of it. It’s destined to spend a short and painful life in theaters and then join the ranks of the DVD and late-night-cable undead.

The directors David and Scott Hillenbrand, who were responsible for the National Lampoon “Dorm Daze” movies, and the screenwriters Patrick Casey and Joshua Miller (known as Worm Miller) have stuffed this cabbage with doltish and buxom students, sadistic dwarfs, severed heads, serial vomiting, sheep testicles, a priest with Tourette’s syndrome and horse flatulence. (That’s a “Young Frankenstein” homage: the horses let loose whenever someone says the name of the Transylvanian university where the action is set.) The Romanian vampires and the actors playing the American undergrads are both, in their own ways, long in the tooth.

For The Love Of Dracula!


From Buzzsaw By Catherine Fisher

Vampire: a preternatural being, commonly believed to be a reanimated corpse, which is said to suck the blood of sleeping people at night.

Obsession: the domination of one’s thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image, desire and so on.

If we put these two together we can say teen America has fallen prey to the vampire obsession (the domination of these preternatural beings that suck blood) … again.

This sudden craze has left many people shell-shocked and overwhelmed, yet in actuality this should be no surprise. These undead, blood-sucking creatures have entranced the population for centuries. This time around, however, it is just in the form of glamorous movie stars whose faces are plastered over every gossip magazine in the country.

Does anyone remember Dracula by Bram Stoker? It could be known as the most famous vampire reference in history, containing details that have become Vampire Knowledge 101 (Transylvania, Van Helsing, Count Dracula, etc).

A MESSAGE TO ATTENDEES
I'm Kenny, the Promoter of EyeCon's "BloodLust". I would like to welcome you to our first ever weekend long Vampire Festival. We've been overwhelmed with fan interest in the Vampire genre and rather than focus on one particular movie or TV show, we're opening the door to the entire Vampire mythology. This show is for Vampire Lovers, FangBangers, the Gothic community and anyone who is captivated by Vampires and their lore.
As a thank you to our attendees who were present at our September Twilight convention, and in an effort to combat the current economy, we have cut prices drastically. We hope this will allow more fans to indulge in the excitement. Also, for this convention, we are loosening our refund policy to allow for refunds in the event of the cancellation of headlining guests so attendees can purchase their admission tickets with confidence.
We look forward to hosting an exciting, intriguing and perhaps mystifying weekend and hope you will join in the festivities. See you there!

Our greatest vampire hunter? Abraham Lincoln,


Our greatest vampire hunter? Thousands of books have been written about Abraham Lincoln, but none, until now, has dealt with his skills as a vampire hunter. Say what? Seth Grahame-Smith of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" fame (written with Jane Austen) is now zeroing in on the vampire craze with the grisly parody Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter to be published March 2 by Grand Central.

‘True Blood’ Positively Gushes With Casting News

Fans of HBO’s ‘True Blood‘ can count on meeting several new faces – all of them attractive! – during the gothic drama’s third season.

For starters, New Zealander Grant Bowler – aka Wilhelmina’s fugitive lover, Connor Owens, on ‘Ugly Betty‘ – has landed the recurring role of Coot, says The Hollywood Reporter. Coot is the fearsome head of a biker gang called the F— You Crew. (Subtle, right?) Oh, and he’s a werewolf.

Also bringing the pretty this season is Theo Alexander. The Greece-born newcomer will play Talbot, the “intensely beautiful” bloodsucking beau of Mississippi vampire king Russell Edgington (new series regular Denis O’Hare).
