Some people think so and they want something done about it. According to an article published by Fox News, a study of young adult books was conducted and it was discovered that these books were a little racier than parents would like. Researchers reported in the Journal of Sex Research that books aimed at 12 …
It’ll be a battle between the vampires and the wizards at this year’s MTV Movie Awards as the top nominees this year are Twilight and Harry Potter. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has managed to nab the most nominations with eight, while Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 comes in second with six. But …
Cliche it may be, but who can doubt the internet created a whole new venue for amateur writers to put their work out there? In other words, the world-wide web proved a godsend for fan fiction. Or maybe from the other end of metaphysical spectrum, depending upon one’s view of the topic! Contrary to popular …
The year 2006 saw the best vampire television series so far debut for a run far, far too short. No, not “Blood Ties” wonderful as that show was. Nor was it “Ultraviolet,” another lamented program that left the airwaves too soon. “Young Dracula.” Sounds like a children’s show, doesn’t it? Well, yes and no. The …
Shoulda Woulda Coulda… Make believe is fun. In fact without it this delightful thing we call fiction simply would not exist. So let us now make-believe–as in “let us create a belief”–some beloved or well-known characters to be undead. Why not? For one, Sherlock Holmes. Leaving aside that the physical description of him is perilously …
Others have written about the vampires described by J.K.Rowling within her wonderful world of Harry Potter, of Quidditch and Hogwarts and Diagon Alley.

Daniel Radcliffe, our favorite wizard, will be putting the wand aside and busting out his fangs to play a vampire on the upcoming Simpsons’ Halloween special. Awesome!

Not that I’m trying to run Josh Hutcherson’s life or anything, but none of the roles he’s lined up for in the next couple of years appear to be his last, as Steve ‘Leopard’ Leonard, in Cirque du Freak: The vampire’s Assistant. Steve is Darren Shan’s best friend, a major character in the Darren Shan …
The Saga of Darren Shan, made into a film… wow. That was all I could think about when the previews first started popping up all over the place. I first started reading the novels way back in 2000, when the first came out. I never actually finished the series, because I’m one of those unfortunate …
One of my favorite authors of all time is Melissa de la Cruz; she’s got a very realistic way of describing cities like New York, and L.A. that make you feel as if you’ve known the urban geography all your life, and at the same time, make you wish you were there, –almost like homesickness …
With New Moon at every turn, I can’t help but think of some of my favorite and not so favorites aspects of the first film Twilight. Although I love just about every scene in that movie, I wasn’t too impressed with the vampire baseball scene. I do like the joke about how it’s the American …
