    Vampyric Variations, by Nancy Kilpatrick
    Reviewed by Michael D. Griffiths
    Publisher: Edge Publications
    Year Published: 2012
    Rating; 4 Stars

    Nancy Kilpatrick is quite an active author. She focuses on the dark side of existence and is one of premiere vampire tale spinners of our current era. I, however, had never gotten a chance to read more than a few short stories of her work, before I got my hands on Vampyric Varations. I would also like to point ...

    If you're going to see Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, I've got to imagine you know what you're in for. The movie is based on the best-selling book by Seth Grahame-Smith (who also did the screenplay), presented as President ...

    Priest (2010), Rated PG-13

    Priest is set on either another world or the Earth in some dark, apocalyptic future, or an alternate Earth at any rate. Never was quite sure about that. Humans have been at war with a vampire race for decades, centuries maybe. Things weren't going so good for the homo saps until they discovered that some of them have almost super human powers of speed, strength and agility. ...

    Back when I was in college, VCRs had only been around a few years. Towns that had cable TV were still fairly rare, but one of my roommates had it at home. He'd go home for the occassional weekend and return with movies he taped off ...

    Dead Until Dark, by Charlaine Harris
    Reviewed by Joshua Palmatier
    Publisher: ACE TRADE
    Year Published: 2010

    First off, I have not seen "True Blood" so I read this without any possible coloration from having viewed that first.

    As everyone probably already knows, this is the first book in the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris. The basic premise is that vampires have been legally recognized and so are now part of the world. Sookie, a waitress in the small town of Bon Temps, has been desperate to see one, so when one shows up in her town, she's instantly drawn to him, mostly out of curiosity. But when young women--all with jobs like Sookie's, and all who associate with vampires--begin turning up strangled to death, suspicions turn on this new vampire, who Sookie has now befriended. The rest of the book revolves around Sookie finding out more about the vampire world while attempting to figure out who is killing these young women, since she is obviously a potential target. ...

    The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010), Rated PG-13
    Starring Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Billy Burke, Ashley Greene
    Directed by David Slade
    Review by Dave Felts
    Rating (2/5):

    Yeah, I saw Twilight Eclipse yesterday, along with my wife and kids. My son was the only one for whom the burden was too great: too much kissing he reported as the credits rolled. Except for some action packed vampire/werewolf battle scenes, he spent most of the time squirming. My daughter read the books a few years ago, tore through them in a month or two. I'm not going to discuss their merits. Suffice to say that I think anything that gets kids reading is a positive. ...
