eating out with renfield

what’s he building in there? a slow cooker no doubt

I was at a holiday party with some folks at Tor a long while back, and the editors were telling me that (at that time) the big thing was the Supernatural Romance sub-genre, with Supernatural Tourism, Supernatural Buddy Comedy, and Superntural C++ Programming Manuals as close runners-up.  I guess this must have been around the time that Twilight hit the shelves and every book with a vampire on its cover was flying off the shelves.

With my recent interest in the 2004 game Vampire: the Requiem (haven’t hit half-life yet, unfortunately) I think I have invented THE BEST COOKING CHANNEL SHOW EVER.  Do you remember how in Dracula there was crazy old Renfield, who somehow concluded:

  1. Count Dracula eats humans
  2. Count Dracula lives forever
  3. If I eat humans, I will live forever
  4. Therefore I shall eat bugs

I propose a cooking show where “Renfield” travels to various picturesque cultures and eats their Scary Magic Food like a maniac – like a strict diet of nothing but this thing, whatever it may be – and at the end of the week reports whether he has gained magic powers.  ANTHONY BOURDAIN meets GHOST HUNTERS.

This is fucking bank.

    Hello there. I am looking to find David Weseley…to invite him to Los Angeles for a Dungeons and Dragons Film festival! I am trying to learn more about Dragons in the Basement. If there is any way you could pass on contact info that’d be great.

    writers and practice something from other websites.

    Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
    Is it very difficult to set up your own blog?
    I’m not very techincal but I can figure things
    out pretty quick. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not
    sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions?
    Appreciate it

    When I initially left a comment I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new
    comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I recieve
    4 emails with the exact same comment. Perhaps there is
    a means you can remove me from that service? Thank you!
