    <body><![CDATA[Seriously, Laurell K. Hamilton used to write good vampire-slayer novels.  Now she writes erotica.  Don't get me wrong, I like erotica as much as the next guy (or gal), but when I want to read a vampire slayer novel, I want to read a vampire slayer novel!!!  Damn you, Anita Blake.]]></body>
