Trick-or-Tweet!
Trick or Tweet, smell my feet, give me something good to read!Alright! It's almost Halloween and that means it's time for treats! I don't have any candy for you. Well, maybe I will, but you have to enter the Trick-or-Tweet Giveaway for your chance to get it! Other than candy there are over 40 prizes donated by eleven authors on this giveaway blog-hop. Prizes include signed print editions possibly with some swag and free e-books.
There will be Halloween posts on the blogs so make sure to hop around and read them. Speaking of Halloween posts, I found a news story for you all to read from about 20 years ago. (Okay, it's actually from like eight years ago when I was in Beginning Journalism, but the real event happened about 20 years ago. There wasn't actually a news story.)
A Late Scare Halloween ended two weeks ago, or so most people thought. Apparently, it's not over for a local family on the 600's block of Elm Street. Laura Magnuson, 27, went to take out the trash with her 4-year-old daughter, Kayla. When she turned around, Kayla was nowhere to be seen. After a few frantic moments, Magnuson saw exactly where she had gone. "It was our first year Trick-or-Treating," Magnuson said, "I guess she thought she needed some candy." Little Kayla was at the neighbors' house, trying to Trick-or-Treat. Marci Jones was sitting in her living room watching television when she heard a quiet knock on her door. "I almost didn't even see her," Jones said, "Imagine my surprise when I looked down to see a little face saying 'Trick-or-Treat!" Jones happened to have some left-over candy from two-weeks prior. She decided to give it to Kayla for being so nice and saying, "please." In case any of you were wondering what I was wearing that Halloween, it was this:
Apparently, as a youngster, I thought pretty highly of myself and dressed like a princess, not once . . .
Not twice . . .
But three times. That's my sister as a Bumble-bee. I was the only one of my mothers' children who escaped the Bumble-bee costume. That doesn't mean she didn't have her share of fun on my behalf though:
I liked this one for a little while. After all, cats are my favorite animal.
Then I realized I had to go out in public dressed like this. It's not like I didn't pick some ridiculous costumes for myself.
Apparently, the blue lipstick means I'm a dead cheerleader? IDK. That's my sister in her only princess costume and my brother as a frog. Yes, that is a Bumble-bee on his hat, but don't worry, he was a Bumble-bee once too, as was my youngest brother.
It's time to Trick-or-Tweet! Make sure you don't make my mistake and go too late! Entries run from today through midnight on the 31st with winners announced at noon on the 31st! Enter to win one of 40 prizes donated by ten awesome authors! Trick-or-Tweet your way to a signed print book or e-book! Some mail-out prizes even include candy and swag! Winners are chosen on Halloween with the announcement made at noon, right here on Paranormal Lounge. E-mails will be sent to the winners and prizes will be given on a first come-first-serve basis.

Vampire Month! Featuring Beck Sherman's Revamp!
Vampire Month continues here on Paranormal Lounge!This week I'm featuring Beck Sherman's Revamp! You can pick it up on Amazon for only $.99!
The same questions asked of my last two guests, Rebecca Hamilton and Wynne Channing, were asked of Beck Sherman, so here we go! A look into the vampire world of Revamp:
How are the vampires in your world different from others?
I guess you could say that you wouldn’t go to bed with a vampire from Revamp. Unless you wanted to wake up (not wake up?) without a head, your blood a Jackson Pollock on the wall.
They bite, they plunge, they tear, they rip, they drink, they are to be feared.
The hermits are the worst offenders. Vampires that “missed a step” while changing from human to undead. My heroine, Emma, refers to them as “special needs” vampires, but limb-less, thought-less, your blood is the only thing that drives them. And what they’re lacking in body parts and smarts, they make up for in insatiable thirst. That’s how they’ll get you.
Do the vampires in your world possess any of the traditional vampire traits? No reflection? Burning in the sun? Being immortal? Aversion to crosses, holy water and/or garlic? Turning into a bat? Killed by a wooden stake? Fangs? Other?
I wanted to model the main Revamp vampires after the archetypical vampire. When I say that, everyone probably automatically thinks of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, though, funny enough, Dracula and his fanged consorts could go out in daylight without bursting into flames. However, Revamp vampires must avoid the sun, are immortal, have a distaste for crosses and holy water, a piercing of the heart kills them, whether by stake or hollow-point bullets or something more creative. Revamp vampires are also shrouded in a bit of mystery. The reader learns with the characters what these monsters are capable of, and just when you think you got them pegged, they surprise you.
Why did you choose to write about vampires?
Well, I had a dream. A vampire floating in cobwebs of mist. And when I woke up, there was a bit of blood on my lip. I had bitten it while asleep. I got a tissue and wiped the blood away and that’s when I knew. Then and there I knew that the world just had to meet Emma and Cooper. Kidding. The whole “I dreamed about this book” really did take off with authors, though, didn’t it? As an avid horror fan, vampires have always intrigued me. In my opinion, vampires are the #1 monster, and then serial killers, the real monsters, which is what my second book is about.
Do you remember the first vampire story you read in a book or watched on a movie or television show?
The Lost Boys was my portal into the world of vampires. After I saw that movie, I needed to get my hands on anything and everything vampire. Of course, back then there wasn’t as much out there starring the undead. You had to really dig for it. But maybe that made it more worth it in the end, when you found something really good. Like Salem’s Lot by Stephen King or They Thirst by Robert McCammon.
What makes vampire stories appealing in today’s pop culture?
People are fascinated by death and the mystery surrounding it. In the same way, they’re fascinated by life. To have this being that’s kind-of dead but lives forever, and, in essence, is cheating death, there’s mass appeal there. Throw in a bit of eternal love with a pale, angsty bad boy vamp and women swoon. Revamp isn’t that type of vampire book, though.
If someone were to see one of your vampires on the street, what would their reaction be? Fear? Attraction? No unique reaction from that of seeing a human?
If you see a Revamp vampire on the street, you’d better have a weapon or human reinforcement. If not, you better run. Run fast. And don’t look back. Because it’s likely, and highly unfortunate, that that one vampire has just turned into fifty.
And Now My review of Revamp!
Revamp was a great read.
Beck Sherman has well-developed characters, an action-packed story with great plot pacing and it's also well-written.
Now, the length might scare you a bit, but let me tell you that it shouldn't. The story is artfully broken up with flashbacks from some of the main characters. Each flashback could potentially be a stand-alone, well-written short story.
By breaking up the story with these flashbacks, Beck Sherman has successfully written a long book that keeps you interested til the very end. The insight into the lives of each character and how they had to deal with the what was going on around them was brilliant.
Oh, and the horror element is so awesome. This isn't just horror this is HORROR. This book is not for the faint of heart.
There are few things that make me cringe, and some of those things are in this book. Beck has set up a few triggers throughout Revamp that will appeal to your deepest fears.
There are some true horror scenes in this book and it's definitely not "soft" horror either. If you love horror, pick this book up now!!!!

Cover Reveal! After the Fear by Roseanne Rivers
It's another awesome cover reveal! Today we reveal the cover of After the Fear by Roseanne Rivers! It's due out in December and you can sign up to recieved notification of it's release HERE!
Now, before we get to the cover, let's read the blurb:
You have not attended a Demonstration this month.
In Sola’s city, everyone obeys the rules. Stay away from the trigger cameras and regularly update your Debtbook, and you just might survive. But having to watch the way criminals are dealt with—murdered by Demonstrators in the Stadium—is a law Sola tries to avoid. When a charming Demonstrator kisses her at a party, however, she’s thrust into the Stadium and forced into the very role she despises.
Armed with only natural resourcefulness and a caring nature, Sola narrowly survives her first bout. Her small success means she’s whisked off to a training camp, where she discovers a world beyond the trigger cameras and monitoring—a world where falling in love with a killer doesn’t seem so terrible.
Yet life as a Demonstrator has no peace. Sola must train her way through twenty-five more Demonstrations before she can return home to her father. At the end of each battle, only one survivor remains.
Sola could face anyone in the Stadium . . . even a loved one.
That is an awesome cover! More info on the author HERE!

Cover Reveal! Light of the Moon by David James
Hey everyone! Today, we are helping with the cover reveal for Light of the Moon by David James! The book is due out on November 6th and is the first one of the Legend of the Dreamer Series!
Here is the OFFICIAL BLURB from Goodreads: "One night long ago, a constellation disappeared and fell from the sky in the form of a boy.
Secrets are being kept in the sleepy town of Lakewood Hollow, Colorado. Nothing but pools of blood and dripping words are left where bodies once were, and no one but Calum Wade seems to be worried. Life unfolds in shades of red for Calum, until a mysterious girl named Kate Black enrolls at his school and everything changes. Suddenly a dangerous world of dream demons, elemental enchanters, and blood witches unfurls before Calum. He learns that the stars have forever held his destiny, and that the constellations above are much more than what they seem. As Kate and Calum sink deep into a paranormal war, they realize that an ancient prophecy might hold the answers they seek. But life is not so easy for Calum, and he can feel his heart beat faster whenever Kate is close. Worse, Kate's blood holds a dark secret even more dangerous than the war between the demons and enchanters. Soon the two find that there are worse things than loving someone you shouldn't. For Calum and Kate, even love and the fiery power of stars may not be enough to break a curse as dark as the blood that binds their destiny.
A romantic story of true love and dark curses, LIGHT OF THE MOON will leave you breathless."
(What a beautiful cover right?)

Character of the Week! Zee from What Kills Me!
Character of the Week
Axelia, aka Zee
Book Zee appears in:What Kills Me by Wynne Channing
Female
17...Forever
Human, then vampire but one that is unlike any other.
A short description of Zee:The immortal nation calls her the “demon vampire.” An ancient prophecy warns that a human girl will be reborn a vampire and she will cause the extinction of the vampire race. So when Zee falls into a well filled with blood and emerges a vampire — one with mysterious strength and immunity to sunlight — the nation will stop at nothing to destroy her.
Five words that describe Zee's personality:
Funny. Curious. Talkative. Compassionate. Brave.
A quote from Zee:
I leaned over, put my hand against my pants to scratch my shin and my palm covered something under the fabric—hard and the size of a thumb. What the...? I shook my pant leg and a shiny brown cockroach tumbled out. It landed on its back, its spiky legs pumping the air. I screamed. Lucas ran into the kitchen, his swords drawn, and Kinman was close behind him. I looked up at Lucas and Kinman. No one spoke. I relaxed my expression. “Sorry,” I said. “It tried to get into my pants."

Vampire Month! Featuring Wynne Channing's What Kills Me!
It's Vampire Month here on Paranormal Lounge!
This week I asked Wynne Channing the same questions I asked Rebecca Hamilton last week. Wynne's YA Paranormal Romance What Kills Me is available now! Grab it on Amazon US or Amazon UK and take a look at what vampires are like in What Kills Me:
How are the vampires in your world different from others?
My heroine Axelia is a very different vampire. She is impervious to sunlight, super strong and very special. "Most unholy," as the vampire general says upon learning of her existence. But more on her later.
The vamps in What Kills Me are pretty traditional bloodsuckers. They fight, they burn and they die. However, the vampire society is a special place — a world governed by duty and ancient tradition. Though they worship Gods, a single empress has total control. She governs what they eat and who can become vampires. Immortals are "selected" and transformed by a strict ritual. Then Axelia enters the picture, the first vampire ever to be turned without permission — born out of a well of blood.
Do the vampires in your world possess any of the traditional vampire traits? No reflection? Burning in the sun? Being immortal? Aversion to crosses, holy water and/or garlic? Turning into a bat? Killed by a wooden stake? Fangs? Other?
My vampires burn in the sun. They consume nothing but blood (human food makes them extremely sick — cake and garlic will have the same effect). If you're trying to kill one, a good beheading should do the trick. However, they don't turn into bats and they can see their reflection (how else would you ever do your own hair if you didn't have a reflection?).
Why did you choose to write about vampires?
I've always been fascinated by these lonely monsters. I think you can't live hundreds of years without being seriously messed up — which makes for interesting stories. I recently interviewed Neil Jordan who directed Interview With A Vampire and he said that vampire stories are often emblematic of a number of themes: sexuality, death, etc. There's so much you can say through these pale creatures.
Do you remember the first vampire story you read in a book or watched on a movie or television show?
The first vampire story that I saw was a Chinese horror movie. Chinese vampires or zombies jump around and you have to slap a piece of paper to their foreheads to keep them from attacking you. Sounds super weird but when you're a little girl, it scares the crap out of you.
What makes vampire stories appealing in today’s pop culture?
In a society so obsessed with youth and beauty, the immortality aspect is mega attractive. Of course, no one remembers the part where you crave blood and watch all of your friends and family grow old and die. For lack of a better word, that sucks.
If someone were to see one of your vampires on the street, what would their reaction be? Fear? Attraction? No unique reaction from that of seeing a human?
I think if someone were to see Axelia, they would simply think she is magnificent. Beautiful. Full of life. (But she was all of those things when she was human.) If someone were to see the general of the vampire army or its soldiers, well, they'd better run. Not that you'd get very far.
And now, my review of What Kills Me
Loved this book!
The writing is well thought out and carries a wonderful style that really goes with the story and genre.
The characters are well written and interesting. I definitely cared about Zee and her journey to becoming who she was meant to be. The relationships are complicated and have meaning.
The story is paced just right, I really enjoyed the flow of it. The action and adventure were amazing and I enjoyed the way Wynne ended it. The ending is seriously the best ending ever.
I can't wait to read the next installment! I recommend this to anyone who likes vampires, action and paranormal with a splash of romance.

Vampire month: Vampire Sensationalism
In literature today vampires are everywhere. They're also in movies and TV shows. What is our fixation on vampires about?What started it all? Was it Anne Rice with all her Vampire Chronicles? It is far more likely that it was Bram Stoker and his classic novel Dracula.
What started the frenzy of modern times? Was it Stephanie Meyer's Twilight? Sure there were others before her and after her, but was the sensational success of Twilight the reason we are so enthralled with vampires right now?
Some people say that vampires are "out," but I say that there are people out there who will remain fans for the rest of their lives. These fans will forever seek out the next vampire story that they crave so much.
So what is it about vampires that we can't get enough of? Is it the fact that they represent the ultimate danger? Or is it just the allure of the unknown?
For me, vampires are the pinnacle of Bad Boys. I am a sucker (no pun intended) for Bad Boys.
Now, there are a few types of vampire out there. Personally, I'm a fan of all of them.
There is the true vampire or traditional vampire. The ones who burn in the sun and are harmed with crosses and don't have reflections. These are in the middle of the Troublesome to Terror scale. They can be sexy or scary or both. A good example of these are the vampires of the original and the re-make of Fright Night. Dracula and Anne Rice's vampires would also be good examples. These vampires know what they are and don't care. They embrace the lifestyle.
Next we have the modern vampire. The vampire that thinks he's a monster and is constantly trying to cling to their humanity. They don't want to drink human blood or be killers. Of course there are modern vampires who embrace the lifestyle, but those vampires are usually not the center of the stories.
Lastly, the vampires of horror. These vampires are true monsters who have left all traces of humanity behind. You can find these types of vampires in the past and present. These are the monsters that give you nightmares. A good example of these are the vampires of 30 Days of Night and the vampiric beings of I Am Ledgend (one of my most hated movies).
There are vampires that fall between these lines, of course, and there are those that don't fit into any of these categories. That's the beauty of it. We can read or watch all sorts of vampires til we can't take them any more.
