... and Vampire News is back
After a week's break, about time i got back to something useful!
The Examiner has a piece on the "Anita Blake : Vampire Hunter" being turned into a film, for summer 2010.
The poll result is in from Suburban vampire, on the best vampire film of the 1990's. Interview with the vampire (44%) beat Bram Stokers Dracula (23%) ...the rest nowhere!
USA Today has an interview with True Blood's Stephen Moyer here. Vampire Cafe has an interview with Eric here, and has found a nice thing from Denofgeek.com, their top 10 vampire deaths in video.
You may well have heard of "Let the right one in", a brilliant swedish vampire film... well, its alreay getting a remake. Vampire Cafe has an interview with the director here - Matt Reeves, of Cloverfield fame.
Dread Central has 2 clips from "Blood : The Last Vampire" here
Bloody Disgusting.com has found artwork for upcoming vampire flick "Daybreakers" here
The Examiner also has a nice piece on the greatest vampire films made, here
Book reviews - there is an interview with Amanda Grange, author of "Mr Darcy, Vampyre" here.
Chick Loves Lit blog has a review of "Dead Until Dark" by Charlain Harris here.
Author Syrie James has a new book in the pipeline... details below, excerpt of interview is from Marilyn brant's blog.
What’s next for you? Is there a new book in the pipeline? I’m hard at work on my next book, entitled Dracula, My Love. It's a retelling of Bram Stoker's famous novel from the POV of the heroine, Mina Harker: the untold story of her secret, scandalous passion for the man who is not her husband—the young, gorgeous, charismatic, intelligent, fascinating, and highly sympathetic Count Dracula, who she deeply loves, despite herself. This is a Dracula unlike the one we have formerly seen in film and print; a vampire with a heart and soul, who struggles against the evil within him, and whose past actions have been entirely misunderstood. The novel will be published by Morrow in hardcover in 2010. I’m having such a fabulous time writing this book. If you liked Jane Austen's Mr. Ashford, I promise this is a Dracula you will love!

A little news of the vampire film entered into Cannes and directed by 9 yr old Emma Kenny here... the vampires could only be chased away by garlic potato chips if i remember the story right from a few weeks back... i have seen worse, i am sure!

Sunday's Vampires (morning stuff)
ok... forgive me if this is less organised than usual, my head is all over the place after watching "sex and the city" with my other half last night...for a metalhead vampire lover, this is not a film i would recommend, unless you want to finish the night hiding your eyes from the screen and actually saying "arghh" out loud at some of it.
right...so struggling onwards...
Amberkatze book blog has done a review of "Undead and Unwelcome" by Mary Janice Davidson here.

The Atlanta Vampire Alliance site has done a review of Joseph Laycock's recent work, "Vampires Today : The truth about modern vampirism" here.
True Blood stuff now...I expect everything vampire related in the news to point to true blood over the next few days as season II approaches. The True Blood Guide site has what looks to be a new video, from the American Vampire League here. TrueBloodnet.com has a long list of marketing stuff here, t shirts, pint glasses etc

Tuesday's Vamps
Just in case there is no update tomorrow and onwards, i am getting my excuse in early - changing Internet Service Provider tomorrow, and i am a little cynical of the blurb that says "no downtime" having worked in IT. Add to that my other phone line has had no dialtone for 2 days and has an engineer visiting tomorrow morning...could be a fun day.
Right, enough of me waffling, on with the vamps!
Its a big day of vampire releases. Blood Ties Season 1 gets released in the USA (hate to break it to you guys, its been available in the UK for ages! its been sat on the top of my desk for at least 3 months...). The highly anticipated book "The Strain" by Guillermo Del Toro is out today. USA Today is running an article on this here, and SFGate has their take on it here. Add to those, there are 4 book releases i know of today. "Carpe Corpus" by Rachel Caine, "Skin Trade" by Laura K Hamilton, "Bloody Good" by Georgia Evans, and "Undead & Unwelcome" by Mary Janice Davidson.
Vampire Cafe has found two nice pieces on True Blood. One is an interview with Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton), and the other some news on Season II plotline. (Might be spoiler, careful!) More True Blood stuff here, at ChicagoHollywood.com, who have done a review of the Blu-Ray release of the first season here.
MTV isnt ready to let Twilight go just yet, after giving it the lions share of the awards. They have a story today on the "Best Fight" award winner. More Twilight bandwagon stuff here... Forks is planning on being swamped by Twi-hard tourists, according to this. I like this article...apologies to twilight fans. The Guardian in the UK has a piece on "New Moon" possibly being entirely bloodless, and less threatening than Count Duckula. Time London is running a piece on the franchise with the new trailer here.
Dread Central has spotted this, for the Twilight fan with a few pennies to spend. A Cruise / Convention from Seattle to Alaska (and presumably back again). Date is set for August 2010.
ChinaDaily has a small piece on the lead actress (Jun Ji-Hyun) of "Blood : The Last Vampire" here.
News for any Australian readers, particularly anyone in Sydney. Pyremont's Australian National Maritime Museum is celebrating 50 years of HMAS Vampire with 3 nights of vampire movies. Details are here.
Amberkatze book blog has done a review of "The Vampire's Quest" by Vivi Anna here.
Taliesin's review of the day is Bloodhound : The Vampire Gigolo
Blog news - added a nice widget for True Blood Season II in the top right corner. Also added the "I Like Horror Movies" Blog to the vampire / horror sites section (apologies to Carl, i have been visiting his blog for ages, so it should have been on there before now.)

Monday's Gruesome Goodies
