// HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
- This is our "Extended Cut" roundtable discussion about The Lost Boys, The Vampire's Assistant, and so much more. Warning, there's spoilers and there was no editing (except to add promos and music). It clocks in at 88 minutes. I hope you enjoy it.
- Don't forget, the serialized podiobook of my novel, LILITH'S LOVE, also drops today. I'm adding to this feed and I hope you'll take a listen. If you want to hear the rest of the story, please subscribe and you'll get a new chapter every other week.

* The de-evilution of the vampire | Ocala.com
- An excellent take on the modern trend to featuring romantic and heroic vampires versus the hideous monsters of old.

* Philippa Ballantine's Erotica ala Carte: Loves to be Loved
- She likens her October story to "Succubi In The City", and that would have been more than plenty. But there's vamps in the tale as well. Great stuff as always from Pip!
-- I'd like to add that I love reading short stories which tell a full tale but that beg to have the story continued. This is one of those tales, as are many of Pip's EalC stories.

* Stephen King and Scott Snyder give 'Vampire' an evolutionary twist | USA Today
- New comic series "American Vampire" (DC Comics) hits stores March 2010. Created by Scott Snyder, Rafael Albuquerque, and Stephen King

* Angel Between The Lines: By THe Grace Of Ghosts Halloween Episode is live.
- This is the episode where I voiced the character "Orlock". It is a fun episode to be sure!

* CASTLE: Vampire Weekend
- A man wearing fangs is found dead in a graveyard with a stake through his heart. It is up to Castle and Beckett to solve the mystery.
- Plus, bonus for Firefly fans, the whole "space cowboy" Halloween costume thing is brilliant. "Didn't you wear that like five years ago? Don't you think it's time to move on?"
