The extraordinarily gracious and talented Charlaine Harris, creator of the Sookie Stackhouse series – the next book, DEADLOCKED, hits May 1 – has given RED, WHITE, AND BLOOD an enthusiastic review on her blog. Which is pretty freaking incredible for me.
Christopher Farnsworth's premise – that the presidents of the U.S. have, starting with Andrew Johnson, had a vampire at their beck and call – is simply fun. And in Farnsworth's strongest book yet in the Nathaniel Cade series, Cade encounters an old enemy he's killed over and over in various guises . . . none other than the Boogeyman. The ingenious part of the book (using various notorious serial killers and their quotes to confirm the existence of such a creature) is – well, I'm envious. Cade continues to be one of modern literature's most frightening vampires, and this is an excellent read.
Thank you so much, Charlaine. I will hoist a pint or two of True Blood in your honor.
