You might also enjoy Cherie Priest's other books -- Four and Twenty Blackbirds and its sequels are prime examples of Southern Gothic.<br /><br />And you know I only give this much press to good stories. ;)Matthew Delmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452378192874048547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927870683677181756.post-61904686094561076262010-04-12T10:49:57.516-04:002010-04-12T10:49:57.516-04:00I've really got to check out this Boneshaker y...I've really got to check out this Boneshaker you keep mentioning :) -- like a subliminal message.Joshua McCunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367262185912463258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927870683677181756.post-7930791702400411182010-04-12T10:39:14.517-04:002010-04-12T10:39:14.517-04:00Christine --

Even through all the film adaptations.<br /><br />Adam --<br /><br />If there's a single work that can be said to encapsulate Urban Gothic, I think Bram Stoker drove a stake clear through the heart of the matter with Dracula. This, Dorian Grey, and Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde have endured for very good reasons. <br /><br />Susan --<br /><br />I loved the book even more when reading it for this post.<br /><br />Michele --<br /><br />I haven't actually read The Historian. Had I known it was about Vlad Tepes, I would've picked it up quick-like without a second thought. Now I definitely will!Matthew Delmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452378192874048547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927870683677181756.post-4303855375714869012010-04-12T10:28:50.348-04:002010-04-12T10:28:50.348-04:00You make me want to reread this.
