A haunted historian
For the past few weeks I’d been hearing about THE summer book to read. It had something to do with vampires but wasn’t an Anne Rice book (emphatically underscored and italicized every time the word ‘vampire’ was used, as if she has a trademark on vampire stories). Of course when I got to San Francisco and actually needed something fun to read, I couldn’t remember the name of the book but how hard could finding THE summer read of the season be? Especially about vampires (and not an Anne Rice book).
Hard, it seems. I had a vague recollection that the book was called “Haunted” however that search only brought up Chuck Palahniuk’s new tome which was not what I was looking for (I’d read a review that cited a bit he wrote concerning a boy in a pool using a vacuum hose rectally and then something, blah, blah, blah…not a good summer read, I thought). So I went to B&N close to the hotel and asked a few of the clerks, using words like, “THE summer read this year, vampires, female author (not Anne Rice), getting good reviews” and yet all I got was blank stares and no help. I Googled those words too and still got nothing and started to believe perhaps I’d just made it up and was actually hearing my subconscious telling ME that I needed to write a great vampire story that would become THE summer read for the season making me the new Anne Rice for the vampire masses. Unfortunately I don’t have one original idea for vampires that hasn’t been done to death (or undeath for those punny punsters out there) so that isn’t a great place to start.
Luckily for me, when all seems lost, insomnia strikes as it did this morning (hello 3am, so good to see you again and so soon) and with nothing better to do then troll around looking at bear porn and reading blogs, I finally found the book I was looking for. At Amazon.com, after two fucking clicks which proves that just going to Amazon.com first solves everything, book-related or not. Of course now that my new term at school has started (Information Systems for Management if anyone is interested) my fun reading days are over until the end of July but still, it’s nice to know I wasn’t making any of it up. The book is called “The Historian” and it’s not by Anne Rice.

Let me know how you like The Historian. And I’d advise you away from anything Chuck Palahniuk writes… he’s an interesting mind and comes up with some creative ideas, but unfortunately his writing is abominable… very stilted, like he’s trying way too hard to be awesome.

Are you sure it isn’t Kelly Armstrong’s book “Haunted”? She has done several books about warewolves, vampires, and witches….but with kinda a light modern twist. Her book “Haunted” came out about the beginning of June.
