Cyber Monday deal - The Loneliest Vampire in NYC

Sick of holiday shopping crowds, busy malls and fighting people for the last parking spot in a sixty mile radius? Of course you are, and what better way to relax than to curl up with a good book, one that you can pick up without leaving the warm womblike comfort of your living room.

So this Cyber Monday download a copy of The Loneliest Vampire in NYC for your own enjoyment or for the whole family (as long as the family is into graphic sex and violence). No brooding monosyllabic vampires or asexual love interests here, no just rollicking good fun in the age old tale of good versus evil, time travel, parallel universes, sorcery and dating.

Now at low, low holiday prices, why? Because we care (actually we don't we just want to sell a boat load of books, get a movie deal and move to Hawaii).

Are the vampires in Twilight, well, vampires?

Technically Twilight purports to be a novel or series of novels about vampires, but is it really?
The quick answer is no, there's a werewolf in there as well.
But the long answer is...actually it's still just pretty much a no.
I guess the Edward Cullen character displays some typical vampiric qualities, immortal, can't tan, drinks blood, is really sensitive and caring, wait, what?
Yeah that last part is a problem for many fans of the vampire genre - Edward isn't a vampire, he's just another self-absorbed bad boy with 'issues' and a pale complexion.
He's the type girls like Bella tend to get all dreamy about and girls who read books with girls like Bella in them get all dreamy about. That however, as much as the author Stephenie Meyer may claim otherwise, does not make him a vampire. There's no real threat to him, and not much conflict either, other than deciding which shade of black to wear.
After centuries of literature that defined the vampire as a souless, dark, lurking, albeit in many cases, highly charismatic ghoul, who preyed on young women in a pseudo-sexual ritual that satisfied a deep, deep hunger, we're now introduced to someone who looks as if he belongs in a Gucci ad.
It just doesn't work, unless of course you happen to be a 17-year old girl who likes bad boys, but not if they're too icky.
