Mr. Darcy, Vampyre

These classical/horror books are coming out like crazy now.
Love it!!!
Check out this next one:
Mr. Darcy, Vampyre
Mr. Darcy, Vampyre starts where Pride and Prejudice ends and introduces a dark family curse so perfectly that the result is a delightfully thrilling, spine-chilling, breathtaking read. A dark, poignant and visionary continuation of Austen's beloved story, this tale is full of danger, darkness and immortal love.

The Forest of Hands and Teeth


In Mary's world, there are simple truths.
The Sisterhood always knows best.
The Guardians will protect and serve.
The Unconsecrated will never relent.
And you must always mind the fence that surrounds the village. The fence that protects the village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth. But slowly, Mary's truths are failing her. She's learning things she never wanted to know about the Sisterhood and its secrets, and the Guardians and their power.
And, when the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness. Now she must choose between her village and her future, between the one she loves and the one who loves her. And she must face the truth about the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Could there be life outside a world surrounded by so much death?
If you like 'Twilight' DON'T READ THIS BOOK...and I mean that in a positive way. 'The Forest Of Hands and Teeth' is the anti-Twilight. 'Twilight' is fluffy teen wish-fulfillment romance/fantasy whereas this book is a cruel, gruesome allegory for resisting complacency with the status quo. It forces the reader to consider some difficult questions about the nature of organized religion, and the constraints of "normal" society. Enjoy!

Kathy Griffin

Kathy Griffin Tour Austin, Texas Thursday - July 9th, 2009
If multiple HBO and Bravo specials weren't enough! Catch double Emmy award winning Kathy Griffin live in her true element. She has more stories, more dish, more of what she shouldn't say but you know you want to hear. Come with an open mind and laugh until you puke . . . just a little.
My Mom surprised me with tickets to see Kathy in Austin the day I flew in from Boston. (Thanks again Mom!)
The first 1,000 people into the theater got "Kathy's on a Stick"
I got to catch up with some old Austin Gal-pals Shaady and Susan who know work at the Long Center where the show was being performed.
Loved the show! She didn't hold back with anyone.
