I finished this over the weekend and couldn't wait to tell you about it! I have another review to share, but it's a surprise and I have a guest post by the author to go with it (coming Dec 2)!
A NIGHT OF BLACKER DARKNESS by Dan Wells
One Word: Brilliant!
Dan Wells is HIL-AR-I-US! (please emphasize all 4 syllables!) This Monty Python meets Shakespearean tragic comedy is full of insane antics, mistaken identity, plots, and deception. Silly vampires, poets, and dead bodies run amok! Wells is a master at double talk and innuendo. I was laughing out loud throughout, drawing funny looks from my family. I can soooo see this going to the stage. It reminded me of the play, Arsenic and Old Lace. But with vampires! (I can't remember who recommended this, but thank you!)
Quite a pleasant diversion! Read it!
(ps - some of you may have heard of his brother, Robinson Wells who wrote VARIANT, amazingness runs in the family!)

And today's PAD #15, love/anti love
Bi Polar
From the high
the giddy, silly joking
To the low
the stomping, raging, moping
I never know
who will appear
in the morning
off the bus
at the store
my tenderheart
Extremely smart
Extremely funny
Extremely hurt
Extremely touchy
He is mine
I love him
No matter what
