The Stroppy One, because he is wonderful like that, decided not only that he would drive me into work this morning, but that we would detour and stop at Cafe Besalu to get good coffee. Mmmm, good coffee.

In other news, I need to decide what examples of good vampire fiction I am taking with me on the Sparkle Road Trip, as I have been asked to read excerpts from Cupcake Goth -approved books. So far I'm thinking Dracula (of course!), Anno Dracula, Vampire Kisses, and maybe the Stephen King short story about 'Salem's Lot. I have to check my book collection and see if I've got that anthology.
(I am probably going to be Twittering various updates from the Sparkle Road Trip, if you are interested in that sort of thing.)
I ... do not want to be at the office. No, I want to hop on a bus and go thrift shopping. Go on, look surprised at this, I know you want to.

*Believe me, I have a collection of vampire smut. I just don't talk about it much.
EDIT: and I am not talking about the smutty smutty vampire fanfic I read. But my goodness! Vampires! Smut!

And Sookie's vampires are pretty dang traditional; most similar to Anne Rice/Salem's Lot*, I think.
EDIT: *In that they sleep in coffins or underground, can't be out in the daylight, turned by blood transfer, undead, require blood for survival, can be killed by staking/beheading, and need to be invited into a home

Other vampire novels? Christopher Moore's vampire novels. "The Historian". Poppy Z Brite?

I saw this, and after I did literal prostrations of thanks in front of the barista, I thought of you.
