Yay book thread
this looks pretty good - although I don't trust vampire books what with all the twilight and vampire porn about (although I did read a Poppy Z Brite book - man that was rude)

I'm reading Allaister Steele's Coyote Novels. Just finished Debateable Space by some other guy too, that was really really fun

it's not pornographic at all
even the bits where the main dude is shagging a prostitute. The well-written historical element of it makes it good. It's more of a horror than the recent spate of vampire stuff. The vampires aren't misunderstood emo wankers, they are vicious nasty motherfuckers.

awesome
Horror needs a kick up the arse - when I was working the bookshop it was hard to tell the romance from the horror section :(

In waterstones now they have a whole subsection for "Dark Romance"
Makes me so angry. Fucks sake. Get that soppy shit out of my horror section.

God damn!
For a while, I had to look after the romance section. It started off with twee pink books with lords and ladies (and a secondary cover with said lords and ladies slightly undressed), but then there were more and more vampires and werewolves. It's not a good sign for society when you have to check on the computer if it's horror or romance. My friend's theory about Twilight is that feminism was wrong all along, women must be shit, otherwise why do they read this crap?
