Awesome. This came out of on my birthday, ironically!

[@xgray2012]

Happy birthday!!!

[@LupineShadowOmega]

Happy Birthday indeed. Also still very excited to read your book.

[@CT_Phipps]

@@LupineShadowOmega I hope you enjoy!

[@jonsnor4313]

Happy birthday, and much capitalistic success.

[@SeanMcGuire92]

The face you made after saying, “Vampire... nut?” made me snort with laughter, omg.

[@arklestudios]

So basically, the book's message is there is no ethical consumption under vampirism? I'll show myself out.

[@spaceninja7687]

You should review the comic series "American Vampire" which is a collection of integrated narrative shorts set across American history from the late nineteenth century to early 90s.

Space Ninja Oh, HELL yeah! I’d love to see what she thinks about the whole Vampire Evolution gimmick.

KZbin Goes out of is way to bury your AMAZING videos. You are honestly just wonderful,you always crack me up AND make think. You're spooktacular,never s stop.

[@litmantuck]

Late to the party here. Read this book years ago and finally getting around to do a review. I figured I would see anyone did a review on this one and you were the only one to pop up! Your reviews are extensive and amazing! I love Straight Outta Fangton. And Cary Hite is the perfect narrator to bring this book out. Check out ‘Bill The Vampire’ It is outright ridiculous as far as comedy horror go. I will definitely recommend this video if people want a more detailed review.

[@juliagoodwin3461]

Thank you for introducing me to this one, I recently read it and loved it!

[@rogerb2629]

Always love your reviews. Now I’ve got a new ebook for holiday travel! Thanks as always! You’re awesome!!

Just bought the book+audible combo, thanks! Aaaaand 'The Company of Death' was the first one on the "Customers Also Bought" List!! :-D ;-)

[@ffsake1361]

only 5:50 mins in and Im buying the Ebook (+ book 2 100 miles and vampin and I was a teenage weredeer) This series sounds awesome. Im not a big reader and have read only a few series like Anita Blake and some by Tamora Pierce. This sounds like a series I would read and finish.

[@philipdarrenellwell1994]

That awkward moment when you really ARE watching this late at night, so the opening comes off as a call out

[@kaylinevergreen1962]

That spider necklace is stunning

[@sleazyrider4966]

Girl, your "good Evening" really makes my day!

*Hears of a book called 'I Was a Teenage Weredeer'.* *stops video to go online shop* I need that, right now. Right now.

[@barbarayhivjaneahl3198]

Same!!!

[@uliwitness]

In case you're interested in suggestions: Linda Mercury's Blood Wings series has an interesting premise. Not sure the two books I read delivered on it fully, but I enjoyed them, at least. And thanks for all the reviews.

[@uliwitness]

Somehow I get the feeling I previously suggested this to you, apologies if so. Must be the shared red-and-black color scheme that always reminds me.

[@SeanMcGuire92]

Wait. “Debilitating, hypnotic obsession with counting sesame seeds?” Is... is that a reference to Sesame Street’s The Count? Omg.

[@Omnicrom]

No, that's actually a classical vampire weakness.

[@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick]

Sean McGuire No, that’s actually a classic weakness of monsters all over the world, including some vampires.

[@CT_Phipps]

@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick Which the Sesame Street Count actually has! Ironic!

[@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick]

C.T. Phipps No. That’s not ironic at all. Because that’s not what ironic means.

[@CT_Phipps]

@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick Technically, its apropos. Which is the opposite of ironic.

love the spider necklace it works with the outfit lol

[@EthalaRide]

I hope one day you'll talk about this odd little blip on the 2011 vampire bandwagon called "I Heart Vampires" (or I

omg, i haven't heard of modern things talking about the need to count things! I love that it included that one

Sounds worth checking out.

I know they are for teens, but have you read the Cirque du Freak series? I was obsessed with it when I was younger. I'm not too sure how well they hold up since I haven't touched them since I was a kid.

Suggestion... "in an amaranthe"... To understand that reference.... please read Vampire the Requiem corebook... or remember what diablorie is.

I couldn't stop staring at your chest. By which I mean: Your necklace creeped me out to no end.

[@lifeandThings]

Maven seems like a really nice vampire. She might not even bite you in person! 🧛

[@wstine79]

I'd never leave you.

[@83croissant]

Do you think, that if a vampire society was working behind the scenes as many of these types of fictional worlds do, they might be inclined to have such a long term view of history and the future that they would use their power to try and influence global powers to do something about climate change?

[@catspaw3092]

LOOK OUT MAVEN THERE'S A SPIDER ON YOUR CHEST!

[@Avalanche616]

I updated just for the new intro.

[@krashd]

Has Maven ever reviewed the Russian Night Watch/Day Watch movies? The scenes where you see the world from a vampire's eyes just completely blows Twilight's "blur effect" to dust, nothing made me think "huh, vampires are cool" like that underwater-camera way that they have of observing the world around them.

[@oliviawilliams6204]

On some level reminds me of Tome of Bill

[@TheNerubin]

Sounds interesting, you don't get really down to earth vampires very often. I can only really think of "Being Human" as another. It also has a very bleak opinion of what a vampire ultimatly is/will always be and draws some very dark comparisons.

[@Kaefer1973]

Even if the power aspect had been enough to make Vampires monsters, it still would not have made all vampires monsters though, there do exist Vampires in fiction that have no superhuman traits and abilities at all and are pretty much just humans that need to drink blood. I'm sure somewhere there's fiction where the same is true but vampires also happen to be weaker or dumber than humans.

[@jonsnor4313]

Happy christmas and happy yule. Have fun fiesting on the innocent food with your fledgeling and clan. You really should watch izombie if you havent. Its all kind of stuff. And the downsides of getting your hands on human brains, like a brains dealer. And a female protagonist who looks much better as gothic zombie than before her transformation and happens to be a doctor who has access to a morgue with a nerly openminded boss-friend.. Besides that a cure, the potential exploitation of innocent zombies by a big company, a military company who honestly just wants to protect zombies. The downside that you get random characteristics of the person whose brain you disguest. The meaning of unlife. Humor and references and more humor with drama. It really uses a mi of vampire and zombie tropes with a lot of humor and substance.

[@Rocketboy1313]

Bought it. Read it. Liked it.

[@thegayghost872]

This sounds like a good read!

[@pinkfeiry]

man i need that book

[@qulep]

Hello) This comment has nothing to do with the topic of this video but could I suggest a movie to review? Would you consider giving us your thoughts on London After Midnight? It has a particularly intimidating vampire in it))

[@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick]

Hah! Joke’s on you, Maven! In my time zone, your videos always come out at 2:00 PM! But anyway. If you wanna read another gritty piece of urban vampire fantasy with the crusts left on, I recommend Knuckle Supper by Drew Stepek.

[@saturdaymorningcheapseats3281]

AAUUUGGHHH!!! There's a spider on your chest!

It won't bite. And it won't leave.

So wait, if blood drinking is considered love because it's sexual, how does that work for romantic asexuals?

[@CT_Phipps]

Speaking as the author, that is a very good question.

[@oliviawilliams6204]

Well that happens when you work at night

[@ShinjiAndHikari4ever]

while listening I noticed two things... First of Ive seen the "vampires have been protecting humanity from the sidelines" thing before and i doubt its anything as bad in THIS book as it is in the one im thinking of but I dont like it when supernatural creatures are put in and then they go "oh yeah all of those human accomplishments were actually vampires" (like in that book basically every famous scientist or artist was secretly a vampire it was dumb) because there's this implication that humans cant accomplish this stuff themselves also "end wars" in WHAT WAY bc stopping TWO factions from murdering each other is a lot harder than helping destroy the weaker one and then the war is ALSO ended so. you know the other thing is the "vampires as a minority" thing bc having beings that are inherently more dangerous than humans mistreated as an allegory for racism has some obvious flaws but obviously I dont know how its handled in this particular book...

[@CT_Phipps]

What I went for, which is entirely up to readers to judge whether I was successful or not, is that vampires are rich controlling assholes who have an enormously inflated opinion of themselves. Peter and Thoth are also both black men who are also vampires so they have a somewhat eye-rolling relationship to claims that racism against the undead is the same as racism against other minorities. "What's the difference." "We eat people. That's not cosmetic." Is an actual line in the sequel.

[@ShinjiAndHikari4ever]

....welp did not expect the author to read this but thats good and im glad!!

Yaay another video! I'm not a patron, but, I think it would be fun if you did a video about Dracula: The musical, by Wildhorn. The english version is meh, but the German is better, and then there is the japanese version, and the OTHER japanese version with Wao Yoka (yeah a woman) as Dracula. So there is a chance to see a genderswapped dracula :D Please have a look I think you will like them (though it is not the best musical in the world... even though Dracula is in it) and find the different iterations interesting. (Wao Yoka also did The Phantom as a Takarazuka Kagekidan years ago, But, Wildhorns Dracula isn't a Takarazuka so it's just a normal musical with only Dracula being genderswipped... or more like, agender, in that performance.)

Most of the folklore and paranormal stuff I've read on them suggests that they astral project. So, what if they're all in their graves in cemeteries all over the world just never decomposing? Maybe its only rare that they get up the strength to escape their graves.
