FTW? Vampirates
I was shopping at a Borders the other day. Has anyone else noticed that they are closing a lot of them down? Of course I go straight for the discount bin to see what treasures will unveil themselves for $1.99. I come across this book called Vampirates! Yes, you heard me right. They are one part pirate, one part vampire. Honestly, at first, I couldn’t stop laughing. My initial impression was that this book, its author, and anyone who has ever been within five feet of a copy are completely made of awesome.
But then it occurred to me, vampires would make the worst pirates in the world. First off they can’t be out in the day. That makes sailing anywhere very hard. Secondly, there are old vampire myths about how they can’t cross water by themselves. In Bram Stokers’ book Dracula had to stay boarded up on his way to England. They tend to freeze up and are unable to move. So now I’m thinking, bring it on. I could take on like fifty of these guys.
So I have two questions for you:
1. Are these guys awesome or lame?
2. How many vampirates do you think you could take?
Here is a link to the official website. You can read excerpts from each of the four books online.

This is actually a good book.

Well, I love most vampire stories. It might be interesting to see how the author overcomes some of the obstacles, like the Sun.
Can’t say if they are awesome or lame because I am hopelessly lost in my own awesome vampire series. I could take out three, sure why not.
There LAME! I could take out at least 40.
