How to Kill a Vampire

I thumbed through one in a bookstore. It was less amusing than you would think, but maybe they sold enough copies to make it worthwhile. I hope they did. I'd like to think they were a success.

Well, they have fun covers, at least. When I was in a high school we had to read Sense and Sensibility for my 10th grade English class. All the other 10th grade classes got to read cool stuff like Lord of the Flies and Hamlet. But nooo... It was Jane Austen that made Mr. Peek's (real name

) heart go pitter pat. I'd have gladly taken Ms. Austen down to the nearest cross road and struck her through the heart with a silver dagger, and my whole class would have been right there with me with daggers of their own.

Lord of the Flies! Man, what a book. As we were early in the book, the teacher asked everyone which character they identified with the most. The hooligans in the class all loved the hunters and one of them even said that another kid in the class was Piggy. Then of course, the reveal at the end of the book, where everyone gets to feel weird about who they identified with. Because WTF?
