It's 2008 and Lord Underwood has risen from the grave in Spain after 50 years. Alcoholic former medic David Flinch is poised, however reluctantly, to take his familial place as mortal guardian to Lord Underwood. But wait, Lord Underwood must feed of course and how to dispose of all those bodies, or do we really need to? And what about the Sect and David's sister who desperately wants Lord Underwood to turn her into a vampire? Then there are all those pesky Russian mobsters looking to avenge a murder, and the English pub owners who thought they were hidden from them. Pirates (real ones), Nazis, werewolves, white slavery, and nosy detectives too.

Are you sick of wimpy sparkly vampire romance stories? Well U&F is a vampire novel like no other you have ever read (or listened to, or seen).

Check out the treats in Mike Bennett's Hall of Mirrors or what Dusty and Gaz have in store for you over at One Among the Sleepless if you are still skeptical of how good this can be.… (altro)

Bends the vampire genre while not running away from it. Equal measures horrible and hilarious but pulled off without leaving us with a clowning Mel Brook's Dracula. Think in a Sam Raimi vampire sense and you may get close: horribly tongue in cheek.

Foolishly originally offered as a free podcast by Mike Bennett who may be almost as good a voice actor as he is a writer. Anyway if he ever asks to borrow any money I would get right away from him since he continues to cast free pearls before swine instead of asking them to pay for them from a sow's ear purse.… (altro)

Alright if you liked the first half of U&F, and who doesn't, then you're going to love U&F2 Bonded in Blood. Sure it's all the same characters, except for all the dead ones from part one, but how can you resist ancient vampire cults and Russian white slavers in the same paragraph? We've got pirates and even Nazis too so there is something for the entire family to enjoy. Nobody's walking away from this table not feeling (en)gorged.

Even though this was foolishly offered as a free pod-cast you know you want the real thing to read over and over again to your grandchildren since Mike's voice will just frighten the wee ones. So do yourself a favor and purchase this heirloom and we'll all be just a little bit happier.… (altro)
