Reactions and Reviews

2002

Even Bryn's fluffs are memorable. I think of this as a vampire companion piece to the werewolf in _The Howling_ (_Southern Comfort 6.5). Excellent humour and dialogue. One of my two favourite stories in this 'zine. [1]

2015

This one is squirrelled away at the back of the zine, behind letters of comments, adverts etc. Fortunately I found it - as it's quite good. Avon's a vampire, like all the old families, and can't resist Blake once Blake is also (I think) bitten by a vampire bat (though primarily he doesn't partake). It has this line, which I particularly like: "After all, if rare, exquisite food and handsome, husky men are two of your favourite hobbies - why not take the logical step and combine the two?" Erin says, I should remark on how vampirism is here used as an awkward metaphor for homosexuality (though she generally liked the fic significantly more than I did), although I feel that this is more what vampirism is in general used for, and that it's only lightly hinted at here. That said, I'm a very bad reader for Bryn Lantry in general because I'd have to spend a lot more time reading the prose than I am willing to and this means I miss a lot. [2]
