Comic Con – Twihards are most enthusiastic fans!

CME — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:02:12 +0000

Results are in from Comic Con, San Diego and no prizes for guessing who the most enthusiastic fans were…

Most Enthusiastic Fans: The Twihards, devout readers of Stephenie Meyer’s series of vampire books, Twilight, were the loudest and proudest in Hall H, starting a Twilight chant while they waited, shrieking anytime a cast member, Meyer or director Catherine Hardwicke said anything, and asking lots of questions about vampire hotness. After the panel was over, so many Twihards rushed the movie’s booth that fire marshals briefly closed it down. Fanboys, don’t look back. The fangirls are gaining on you fast.

Reports said that they were decked out in ‘handmade’ t-shirts etc but seriously why make it youself when you can purchase some of these cool threads.

2008 Anne Rice Vampire Ball – New Orleans

CME — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 10:16:27 +0000

Ok now this is when I wish I lived a lot closer to New Orleans, just so I could go to things like this *le sigh*

Akasha, Queen of All who are Damned, is stirring from her millennia long slumber. The call of the Ancients and the music of Lestat’s Grand Vampiric Celebration in New Orleans has reached her ears and her heart is quickening once more. The Twins beckon us as well. Images of her and the Twins flood our minds. Have you had the fever dream of the Twins and Queen Akasha? Have you heard the music in the night air, sweet music just out of reach of your waking world? We know you have. Akasha and Lestat are calling out to you to join them in New Orleans this Halloween for “The Queen of the Damned Ball”! We celebrate the Mother of all Vampires and Lestat’s Vampire Ball this year is in her honor!

Honor your Queen as she holds court by dressing as her or one of the Ancient Ones, bring your fledglings or human minions of choice and experience a night of exotic treats for the eyes and beautiful music for your ears and souls. Your Queen commands your presence! See you in October…

Cover to Cover #242: Vampire Powerhouse

CME — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 10:22:51 +0000

This is an audio recording from a panel at the 2006 World Fantasy Convention. The panel was dubbed the “Vampire Powerhouse”, and featured an amazing collection of vampire fiction authors.

Paula Guran, editor of Juno Books, is the moderator, and the panelists are Dean Anderson, P. N. Elrod, Charlaine Harris, Suzy McKee Charnas, and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro.

They talk about the longevity and continuing popularity of a character type that was thought to be “overdone” 25 years ago, about the evolution and metamorphosis of the vampire as lead and romantic foil in recent years, and much more.

This comes from a podcast called The Dragon Page: Cover to Cover which often has reviews of Sci-Fi and Fantasy fiction and has excellent interviews. This episode treats us to this great panel discussion.
