It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Antibellum emo vampires? Can't really see it. These must be pre-mormon pre-emo and pre-sticky knickers vampires. I'll read.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

The reviews have been great, even the Abraham Lincoln blog liked it. Tim Burton has already optioned the film rights.

It's a best seller, as was Pride & Prejudice & Zombies before it, and both are being made into movies. You can't pin this on me.

Then I must counterattack with the upcoming movie "Leonardo da Vinci and the Soldiers of Forever"

QuoteDa Vinci is best known as the painter behind "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper," though he also was an inventor, engineer, architect, mathematician among many other occupations. The project re-imagines Da Vinci as a member of a secret society who falls headlong into a supernatural adventure that pits the man against Biblical demons in a story involving secret codes, lost civilizations, hidden fortresses and fallen angels. Think "National Treasure" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" by way of "Clash of the Titans."

Boring.
Of course.  The Hack Attack follows every original idea and produces tons of boring unoriginal copies.  Happened to fantasy, happened to vampire novels, and now to the "unusual combo" genre.

Philip Jose farmer did all of this stuff much better than the modern writers, back in the 1960s and 1970s.

Abe Lincoln vs. vampires actually sounds like it would work very well as an allegory -- vampires being parasites who survive off of the life energy of others.
