It looks like 300, which some folks like but doesn't jibe with the fun, fantastic vibe of the original, as you say, B-Sol.<br /><br />Plus, the Kraken redesign strikes me as awful. But that may be the nostalgia talking. ;)<br /><br />BTW, in point of fact the "intentional sharing of blood" to turn a victim into a vampire goes at least as far back as Bram Stoker's novel, IIRC. I'm fairly certain that Mina talks about the Count opening a vein and making her drink. Not that I want to cast aspersions on Anne Rice's inventiveness. ;)The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-55007547695659626112010-03-22T00:14:48.134-04:002010-03-22T00:14:48.134-04:00Lots of good stuff in there, but I had to stop and...Lots of good stuff in there, but I had to stop and comment because Big Daddy Kane is awesome! That is all. <br /><br />Also Death Troopers piques my interest too (and I prefer Trek to Wars), but I got burned when I read the Death Star novel and it sucked.Zachary Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15622085931330902943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-74464302283496355162010-03-21T23:48:06.885-04:002010-03-21T23:48:06.885-04:00Robert, sorry to hear that.

It is indeed the first SW horror novel. I wasn't too crazy about it, however. A few good gory moments, but that was about it.

Speaking of, Kate is going as well--can you say NY horror blogger meet-up?<br /><br />Pax, I always get a headache watching some vampire flicks, trying to process how, if they go out to feed every night, and each victim becomes one, the entire world wouldn't be totally overrun...
