This week has been filled with talk of how violent our society has become. The shooting in Arizona has created a lot of discourse on the topic. Fingers have been pointed; blame laid. People on both sides of the political system are trying to distance themselves from their own use of violent language in their rhetoric, afraid of the...
read moreThis was supposed to be posted yesterday, but for some reason, my entire day was spent instead doing absolutely nothing and my obligation went unfulfilled. Again. It’s the second time this month that I flaked on posting and I truly have no clue where my head is. Not that my posts are compelling enough for people to miss them...
read moreI think a lot of us here at MVF are beginning to struggle with writing topics for our twice monthly blog posts. I know I’m always thinking about what I can write about that will make sense in terms of the paranormal genre, but it’s hard to find a constant stream of ideas. I know I can always pull out our favorite, the...

read moreOkay, so I really don’t have anything to say about vampires and holidays, but it’s the day before Thanksgiving, so it seemed an appropriate title. It’s also a day I should be spending cooking all the pies and stuff that I will need to feed the people who will be here tomorrow. Instead of doing that, I’m...
read moreThe Laughing Corpse, by Laurell K. Hamilton reviewed by Meesh Continuing the saga, the book opens with Anita Blake being asked to raise a long dead ancestor of a very shady character, to the tune of a million dollars. So long dead is this ancestor, though, that Anita would need to do a human sacrifice to raise it. She...
read moreMany of us read for escape. It’s one of the reasons I’m never snobbish about what other people read. Until 2008 and Twilight, I read mostly non-fiction books, mostly about neuroscience and the brain and other really fun stuff like that. At that time, I didn’t read for the same kind of pleasure I do now. I edited...
read moreGuilty Pleasures, by Laurell K. Hamilton reviewed by Meesh Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter. I found this series almost two years ago, right before I found the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Someone mentioned it to me and since I like anything vampire, I bought the first three books in the series, and I was hooked. Before I start reviewing...
read moreJust how much of the vampire genre can one girl take? If that girl is me, a lot. A whole lot. But even a vampire addict like me needs to throw other things into the mix once in awhile. MyVampFiction has been slowly incorporating more and more of the paranormal genre into our daily grind. We have faeries and fallen angels, and even...
read moreby Meesh This is kind of a ghost story, kind of not. I have a lot of experiences I could write about, but very few stand out enough in my mind to make a whole story out of them. The two that did, I’ve already written. So basically, this is going to be about the ability to sense spirits and how it affects me. There are a lot...
read moreMockingjay, by Suzanne Collins reviewed by Meesh The third book in The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins is a must read, just like the whole series. The first book took us through the Hunger Games where Katniss and Peeta were competitors from District Twelve. CONTAINS SPOILERS Katniss was an expert hunter and kept Peeta alive...
read moreOne of my favorite things about October is the movies that run all month long. There are horror movie marathons almost all the time, and for me, that’s a heavenly television day. I rarely watch TV, so when the scary movies are on, I finally get my money’s worth from my cable company. This past weekend, Cujo was on. My...
