VF: Any favorite vampires from lit, film, or TV?
GC: I don't think he really counts, but I love Dorian Gray. I have a real soft spot for Mina Murray in The League of Extraordinary Gentleman graphic novel series and I adore the character of Drusilla on Buffy. Not to sneak in werewolves, but I was turned to the furry side by Klause's brilliant YA novel Blood and Chocolate.
And, in leau of a proper blog (life, my dears, is hitting me hard) I give you one of my favorite recent blogs, all about how urban fantasy and paranormal books have headless people on their covers. The Curious Case of the Headless Heroine, Or the Torso Rides at Midnight

Great interview - I always loved Drusilla. And somehow never forgot her vampiric French manicure -- blood red with white tips. She was so appealingly nutty.
ReplyDeleteFrankie and I of the First Novels Club are getting together tonight to write a co-review of Soulless! So excited to finally squee over it with her. We'll email you the link when it posts!
Saw these and thought of the Parasol Protectorate, if course!
