Priest Vampire Movie Is Out So Why Not A Promotion?

This weekend Priest opens, an apocalyptic vampire movie, or 'the vampires in space' sub-genre as some casually call it. Needless, to say I hope it does well since it is in line with Stargazer (it came in 1998 in its first edition, titled The Queen of Darkness from Warner Book, and many have borrowed from it).

Here's a synopsis:

PRIEST, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller, is set in an alternate world -- one ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. The story revolves around a legendary Warrior Priest from the last Vampire War who now lives in obscurity among the other downtrodden human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities ruled by the Church. When his niece is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on a quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece's boyfriend, a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess who possesses otherworldly fighting skills. Written by Screen Gems

I'm not expecting a grandiose epic full of pathos, since these movies are mined for their action and gore.  I'll write about Priest as soon as I see it, but I doubt it has the same balance of meaning and violence that Stargazer has, or that it will come close in literary quality (the reviews prove this, and  Stargazer  was nominated best new novel by the Horror Writer's Association).   IMBD has given is 5.7 out of 10 and Rotten Tomatoes gave it a pathetic 19 percent!

Regardless, it's my hope Priest at least keeps the vampire genre going. There is no doubt Stargazer would make a far superior film. But don't take my word for it. As a promotion for the release of Priest , I'm offering at half price at Smashwords , where you can download it in any digital form your blood-thirst will like.
