I just re-read SL and truly, it's the gift that keeps on giving.
It feels as if SK jumped into a pool of words and swam around and dived and surfaced and went down again. . and had the time of his life.
But, I'm really a zombie-loving gal who's incredibly proud of Englishman Andrew Lincoln playing Rick Grimes in
TWD
Sorry, I digress.
If you have to have vamps (that sex-and-death combo doesn't work for me), then make them totally immoral, terrifying and generally gross as the crew in
Thirty Days of Night (No
Twilight-style
Sehnsucht for those vampires from teenage girls, I think).
Or Wesley (why-didn't-I-pay-my-taxes?) Snipes as
Blade, the anti-vamp - now there's a vamp I worth rooting for!
I'm re-reading this post now - it sounds ferociously anti-vamp - but no disrespect to vamp fans intended.
Thanks folks
