cats & vampires

  • Lord Akeldama: I used to love pets, my dove, did you know? When I was mortal.
  • Alexia: Did you?
  • Lord Akeldama: Yes. It is greatly troubling that I am left with only a cat for company.
  • Alexia: I suppose you might consider keeping more than one cat.
  • Lord Akeldama: Oh, dear me, no. Then I should be known as 'that vampire with all the cats.'

Just want y’all to know that I’ve started reading the Parasol Protectorate books for the first time, and while it took me a bit to accept the writing style, I am now thoroughly engrossed.

“I take what you would expect from a vampire and try and make it as different as possible. So Lord Akeldama is the first example of that. I took tall, dark, brooding male who preys on females, sexual predator... handsome vampire, and I made him skinny, blonde and homosexual - and fabulous. ”

— Gail Carriger, author of the Parasol Protectorate Series

you can't just reread one book in a series.

i dont hate it.

Seriously guys, the audiobooks for Gail Carriger's Alexia Terabotti novels are so good. The reader is just perfect.

“Many a gentleman had likened his first meeting with her to downing a very strong cognac when one was expecting to imbibe fruit juice - that is to say, startling and apt to leave one with a distinct burning sensation.”
