I was in B&N the other day and remembered this name bc. you mentioned it - I picked up one of his books, but not before one of the sales girls recommended Christopher Moore to me - so I picked up The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove and Bloodsucking Fiends. They were ... ok. I was expecting much, much better from the way this chick kept going on and on about how great he was. His style was in the same vein as Carl Hiassen (except dealing with the supernatural) but he's not nearly as funny or entertaining as Hiassen. The quality of his writing was light and sweet, but not enough substance to sink your teeth into.

Just read Clive Barker's The Hellbound Heart which was the novella that Hellraiser was based on. Really good. Now I'm reading Books of Blood, Vol 1-3 also by Barker. His stuff gives me the chills - different than King, but just as addictive.

You...didn't like Bloodsucking Fiends...???

It was cute at best. Sorry, but I just expected so much better. It honestly struck me as a book that was written for JHS level reading... and had as much entertainment value, *shrug* But if you insist that Practical Demonkeeping is worth the time, I'll pick it up and give Moore another chance...

I mean, Lust Lizard was okay, but Fiends is what made me pick up every book prior to and after. I don't see any "Pookie"s in your future
