Vampire Library - Part 21

[@kendonfahr8337]

My book's in the pile! My book's in the pile! Hurray! 😊 (It was coming from the UK, so I was worried it would fall in the ocean.) Oh, and your new hair is absolutely stunning.

[@ehdrake]

*Screams with joy!* You're totally welcome! Not going to lie, hearing you read the back made my heart sing. Gothy Locks, so fun and precious! Going to have to add a few of these to my GoodReads.Thank you so much Maven!

[@halcyons2106]

I love "My Best Friend Is A Vampire" and for an 80's movie is actually really good still. The subtext in the movie is anything but subtle and is surprisingly well handled for when it was made. But beyond that it's just a fun movie and always great to see the late Rene Auberjonois in a film.

[@unfabgirl]

Odo makes for a fantastic vampire! I rewatched the movie a few months ago and had completely forgotten he was in it (it had been about a decade since I last watched it), so I was able to appreciate a character I only vaguely remembered in a new way

[@ehdrake]

Lol my first ever vampire movie.... and the parents reaction when they misinterpret is SO cute!

[@Demolitiondude]

Maven: indoctrinate them early. Me: agreed. Me and my stepdaughter love curse of the wererabbit.

[@SevenEllen]

I can't wait to hear you talk about Renfield. :D

[@GreatBigRanz]

Vampire accountant? Turing to look at my dust cover stack of books that take up a whole room.

[@stevegeorge6880]

Your hair is on fire, and thanks to this video, my New Year is as well.

[@grodriguez7225]

Cool books! Ps: I'd suggest reading YoungBlood by Sasha Laurens it's about a vampire named Cat who joins a vampire school for elite vampires, even though her mother is against it. Little does Cat know she's about cross paths with her ex-best friend Taylor Sanger.

[@jaginaiaelectrizs6341]

Your library is basically living out aalll my high-school era dreams. LOLL 💜

[@strawberrylime33]

8:47. I cannot help but laugh at the word "irrevocably" now.😁😆 It is forever linked with That book.

[@talliaconner-flores5763]

Oh, I'd read Dowry of Blood when it first came out. It wasn't necessarily for me, but it did make for a good afternoon of reading. I enjoyed the characters, especially their relationships between each other. I think you'll enjoy it.

[@lindseyp-3059]

There seems to be more Vampire books out this year than the last 5 or 6 years

[@ehdrake]

An excellent trend

[@nickknight9268]

Always love your reviews of books you recently acquired. Over the holidays I acquired the newly translated Simon & Schuster brand new reissue of The Little Vampire Volume 1(Vol. 2 will be released in April). Though unrelated to the book have you checked out on YT the new film by Film Idiot of The Vampire Next Door? For a limited budget it's getting a lot of praise.

[@iainmelville9411]

Indeed, Happy New Year.

[@daltonhackett6520]

I do not remember if you already have this book or not, but it is a nonfiction book discussing how people thought of vampires during the Middle Ages/Reformation period of England. It is called Vampires, Burial & Death by Paul Barber. I apologize if you already have a copy of this book, but I could not remember if you actually have this book or not.

[@MavenoftheEventide]

I actually don't have that one. Thanks!

[@ScottBryanMuseslave]

I am still planning to send you the Foresight Chronicles!

[@CanIswearinmyhandle]

Putting a 'patricide' trigger warning on a book about a woman fighting her dad sounds like a massive spoiler...

[@beckstheimpatient4135]

Anything but the vaguest warnings on books can ruin the experience. Warn against violence, warn against sexual violence or abuse, but we can't get into specifics. Who the hell even warns for 'patricide'?! How is that a trigger warning relevant to the vast majority of readers?

[@jaginaiaelectrizs6341]

@@beckstheimpatient4135 Because, to some people, I think maybe they confuse "content warnings" (or things that might upset or turn-off certain audiences) with trigger warnings (things that might hit a little too close to home for survivors of actual trauma).

[@jaginaiaelectrizs6341]

I suppose there might be some people who would prefer to be spoiled as to the fact that certain things are coming ahead, and consider simply not knowing exactly how or why mystery enough.

[@TheMightsparrow]

I remember when she was doing Dark Shadows... A long time has passed

[@uncola6028]

I remember reading Empire of Fear and liking it

[@princekrazie]

The world needs more squishables😞

[@oliverhealey5098]

my yule gift vampire book of the year was "Empire of the Vampire" this year. i just started it but so far it seems interesting!

[@davidranderson1]

I'm really curious what other reading (or media) you really enjoy. Obviously, beyond vampires you've talked about the Phantom, personifications of death, and Edgar Allan Poe. I wonder what interests might be the most different or the most surprising. When you mentioned the Many Deaths of Laila Starr, it made me wonder if you've read the First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. When Harry dies, his life always starts over again when he was a child with the full knowledge of all his previous lives. At the beginning of the book, his 11th life is drawing to a close when a little girl visits him and says, "I nearly missed you Doctor August. I need to send a message." By the way, your hair is gorgeous.

[@monagorgan7288]

I read Krampus every year! It's amazing. I recommend it for this Christmas! enjoy

[@ediapaff8858]

part 21 already OwO

[@shampooh8r]

I hope you'll get to do a Vampire Review about My Best Friend Is A Vampire.

[@nickknight9268]

Are you referring to the 80s film with Robert Sean Leonard, Rene Auberjonois and David Warner?

[@shampooh8r]

@@nickknight9268 Yes I am😁

[@nickknight9268]

@@shampooh8r I love that film it gives us another look that vampires just want to get along with everybody else. I think Maven should also review Vamps with Alicia Silverstone.

[@shampooh8r]

@@nickknight9268 It's not often you get see movies where vampires and other monsters just wanted to live their lives like everyone else.

[@nickknight9268]

@@shampooh8r They're out there those films or books.

[@thetalkingbear]

I had to work Christmas and New Year's. Hope everyone else had a good holiday season.

[@Frey12]

Yay proper maven is back

[@jaymereynolds9172]

I brought Dowry of Blood for myself on kindle.

[@doublestarships646]

Your haiirrrrrr. ❤️

[@theresacherco3503]

right now I am reading The Crave series and it’s really good and the series is like Legacies

[@Crowvamp1979]

When is the next volume of your books being published?

[@Demolitiondude]

1:01:25 nope. Back when crt tvs are a thing. It was supposed to be theatrical release, but was shelved because of superman returns. It's official straight to dvd.

[@cyclonechaos]

I'm thoroughly enjoying your content been a fan since the TGWTG/CA days. I was wondering if you've heard of the KZbinr Haunted Hippie, I think you'd get along with her. She's also goth she reviews a lot of horror movies very thoughtful and critical reviews of such content.

[@im903yearsold]

I really enjoyed The Hunger, but the supernatural element is more like a werewolf/skinwalker than a vampire.

Happy New Year Gonna Do Vampire Movie Review

[@libbysjournal]

Does anybody know of a mystical witch grandmother Library and book club because that sounds awesome 😂

[@jaginaiaelectrizs6341]

It's so bizarre for me that the 1990s could count a historical fiction now(it's so easy to think of historical basically as needing to be old enough that no one from that era is still alive-unless they're just trying to say that it's a book they think is[ or will be] some kind of monumental "historic" landmark in fiction or something). 😅🤭🤣🤣

[@beckstheimpatient4135]

I love it when non-romanians write books about us and butcher our names -_-

[@bruceharden3107]

not books but nobody seems to have an opinion on the latest let the right one in.
