Nightlight : A Twilight Parody

October 8, 2009 in Upcoming Releases 2009

twilight1From EW’s Shelf Life:

For the first time in 40 years, The Harvard Lampoon will publish a parody novel, this time putting a tongue-in-cheek spin on Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling Twilight series. Random House’s Vintage Books plans to release Nightlight as a paperback original on Nov. 3, just in time for the Nov. 20 opening of the Twilight movie sequel New Moon. “‘Funny’ might get you a blog post these days, but it’s the Lampoon-level of satire that makes Nightlight worth every pseudo-bloodsucking, angst-ridden page,” says a Vintage press release. “Nightlight stakes at the heart of what makes Twilight tick…or, really, cuts to the core of it…. Brooding and hilarious, let Nightlight be your guide through the Twilight fandom that has eclipsed the mind of every teenager you have ever met.” The last Harvard Lampoon satirical novel, a J.R.R. Tolkien send-up titled Bored of the Rings, was published in 1969.

According to the Vintage release, Nightlight follows a “pale and klutzy” girl named Belle Goose, who moves to Switchblade, Oregon, and meets Edwart Mullen, a “super-hot computer nerd with zero interest in girls.” The vampire-obsessed Belle becomes convinced Edwart is one of the undead after witnessing events she considers otherworldly (”Edwart leaves his Tater Tots™ untouched at lunch! Edwart saves her from a flying snowball!”).

I know I’m going to have to get myself a copy of this! Ha!

Upcoming Covers Question

October 6, 2009 in Upcoming Releases 2009

old-book-with-blank-cover1I’ve noticed alot of book bloggers post pictures of upcoming books covers, months before the books out. I was wondering, does everyone want to see the cover of a book before it’s released? Does it make you want to buy the book based on a cover you saw months prior? Would you want me to post covers of books when an author makes them available?

I don’t have much interest in covers of books that aren’t out yet, but I would be willing to post the cover with the blurb about the book if thats available as well. Let me know what you readers out there want to see here!

Book News

September 29, 2009 in Author Interviews, Guest Bloggers, Upcoming Releases 2009

friday-nbChloe Neill has agreed to guest blog with me during the week of October 19th. Chloe’s latest book, Friday Night Bites comes out October 6th, 2009.

Ten months after vampires revealed their existence to the mortals of Chicago, they’re enjoying a celebrity status usually reserved for the Hollywood elite. But should people learn about the Raves-mass feeding parties where vampires round up humans like cattle-the citizens will start sharpening their stakes.
So now it’s up to the new vampire Merit to reconnect with her upper class family and act as liaison between humans and bloodsuckers, and keep the more unsavory aspects of the vampire lifestyle out of the media. But someone doesn’t want peace between them-someone with an ancient grudge…

boundbysinMy fellow animal lover, Jenna Maclaine will be here guest blogging on Halloween!

Jenna’s new book, Bound by Sin comes out December 29, 2009. And I am eagerly awaiting it, Jenna is the only historical paranormal romance writer I’ve read and loved.

As the Civil War rages among mortal men, Cin Craven is locked in an epic battle of her own—fighting the renegade vampires whose unquenchable appetites she knows all too well. At her side are the immortal warriors of The Righteous- among them her husband, her lover, her soul-mate Michael. With a passion bordering on possession, Cin’s love for Michael knows no bounds. But when a ruthless plantation owner kidnaps Cin’s cousin the most terrifying battle of all awaits. Cin is drawn to the irresistible lure of dark magic to stop their enemies, while Michael staunchly opposes it- putting their love and loyalty to the ultimate test.

Mark Henry confirmed with me a few days ago via Facebook, his 3rd book: Battle of the Network Zombies comes out February 23, 2010. If you haven’t read Mark’s series about zombie Amanda Feral, seriously get your booty’s to the bookstore. They are absolutely hysterical.

I just heard about the sequel to Bram Stoker’s Dracula today, Dracula: The Un-Dead written by Bram’s Great Grandnephew Dacre Stoker & Screenwriter Ian Holt due for release October 13, 2009. Weirdly enough, I haven’t read Dracula so I rushed out today to grab a copy in anticipation for Dracula: The Un-Dead which takes place 25 years after the events in Dracula. Check out the website for Dracula: The Un-Dead and watch the trailer for the book below.

And a Thank You goes to Author, Marta Acosta for mentioning my blog on her blog! Marta has a great series Casa Dracula, check those books out if you want a different take on Vampires.
