Musicals Rock. Especially Ones Featuring Bloody Murder.


Thanks to Marilyn for the comic!)

I completely forgot to mention that Vlad is available in all sorts of e-book formats now. So now you can download him to whichever e-book reader you have (if you have one...and yes, Kindle too). Yay!

In non-book news: I FINALLY watched Sweeney Todd last night. HOLY AWESOME MUSICAL, BATMAN!!! Loved it. Deeply. I'm going to buy the dvd and the soundtrack and put both to memory asap.

I go see MCR in concert tomorrow!!! Happy weekend, Minions!

Ohmygoth, isn't it AWESOME?! After I got it I watched it every day (multiple times) for two weeks. (yes, I'm obsessed). Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are amazing together! It made me giggle that Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall, and Helena Bonham Carter were in Sweeney Todd AND Harry Potter together. XD

Have fun at the concert Heather! I'm seething evy over here.

Sweeney Todd was AWESOME! (and I don't care what Vlad says--they're not distant relatives)

Sweeney was good! One of my favorite musicals.

Check out the old PBS stage version sometime with Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Lovett. Brilliant! And now available on DVD...

Ah I love those comics! Sounds like something a stupid paranoid human would do. Also: GO SWEENEY!!! I'm obsessed and proud. That was the first musical I actually watched and liked. Huzzah for Johnny Depp!! (He also shares Johnny C.'s name- and for this we love him more)

What People Are Saying About 'Eighth Grade Bites'

"A spooky mystery that's funny, gruesome, heartwarming, spellbinding, sad, joyous, surprising and topped off with a tasty blend of blood and chocolate. Yum. What more could you ask for?" ~D.J. MacHale, New York Times-bestselling author of PENDRAGON: JOURNAL OF AN ADVENTURE THROUGH TIME AND SPACE

"'Eighth grade Bites' had me on the edge of my seat. It's a great piece of fiction. It drops you right into the action, grabs you by the throat (pun intended), and won't let go. Vladimir Tod is a truly sympathetic character cursed with an existence not of his own doing, but doing his best to do the right thing. It's part 'Goosebumps' mixed with 'Harry Potter' and a dash – no, a heaping tablespoon – of Stephen King. If you're in eighth grade, or a vampire, or an eighth grade vampire, 'Eighth Grade Bites' is a definite must read!"~Butch Hartman, creator of Nickelodeon's THE FAIRLY ODD PARENTS and DANNY PHANTOM

"Eighth Grade Bites is a terrific vampire tale told with a sharp, middle-school grin. It definitely does not bite!" ~Christopher Moore, author of BLOODSUCKING FIENDS and A DIRTY JOB

"Eighth Grade Bites is a delightful novel filled with dark, biting humor that will appeal to everyone who ever felt they were different. A deft hand at depicting the angst of teen years, Heather Brewer does a wonderful job blending vampire legend with the modern day horror that strikes fear in the heart of so many: the eighth grade."~Katie MacAlister, New York Times-bestselling author of EVEN VAMPIRES GET THE BLUES

"Heather Brewer has invented the most endearing of vampires in Vlad, an eighth grader juggling the woes of adolescence with the decidedly unique difficulties of being a vampire. She perfectly captures the humor and angst of eighth grade, mixed with a nail-biting adventure. Utterly charming and irresistible!" ~Liza Conrad, author of HIGH SCHOOL BITES: THE LUCY CHRONICLES

"This book will fool you. Just when you think you've identified it as a story lit by the cheery glow of a slightly scary jack-o-lantern, it becomes something else -- a tale told by the flickering light of a dying campfire late at night. And the shadows are very dark indeed. A surprising mix of humor and horror." ~Douglas Rees, author of VAMPIRE HIGH

"Fresh and fast-paced, with just the right brew of chills and laughs. I’m looking forward to finding out what happens when Vlad hits Grade Nine." ~Nancy Baker, author of KISS OF THE VAMPIRE

"A fabulous book from a gifted storyteller! I never wanted it to end." ~Gena Showalter, author of OH MY GOTH
