Circus of the Damned (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Book 3)

View
Reviews

The third novel of Hamilton's Anita Blake series has the petite necromancer fighting a giant cobra and a rogue vampire, Alejandro, who wants her for his human servant. Anita is still resisting the advances of Jean-Claude, St. Louis's master vampire, but she does need him on her side, if not in her bed. Anita's reluctant involvement in the odd goings-on at the supernatural Circus of the Damned introduces her to Richard, the werewolf of her dreams, and Larry, her powerful but nervous partner in zombie-raising.

Mystery fans will love the tightly plotted, Paretsky-esque action, and horror fans will love just about everything in this unusual series.

Naked vampire web video leads to arrest

September 4, 2007 (Courier News / Martin C. Bricketto) -- Halloween is almost two months away, but Readington, NJ police responded to what must have been a spooky scene of indecent exposure for several local drivers Saturday night.

Il Fascino Discreto del Vampiro

"Io vivo tra piu' paesi, piu' lingue, piu' culture. Mi ritrovo sempre negli interstizi, nei luoghi di passaggio. E' l'unico modo di agire in questa vita noiosa." Traggo queste frasi da un singolare (e assai interessante) romanzo, Il diario di Dracula di Marin Mincu.

Anne Rice's Vampires

In almost all cases, fledglings are created when a master vampire chooses a successor or 'child' and drains him or her almost to the point of death. The victim then, if possible, drinks some of the old one's blood in return. This is necessarily an act of will and trust as well as a physical exchange. One unusual characteristic is that after the transformation, the fledgling and the master can no longer psychically hear one another (see Gabrielle and Lestat, in 'The Vampire Lestat').

My darling

You are tired, its physical it the age.

Go see a shrink or take a pill,

or hug your sadness like an eyeless doll,

you need to sleep.
