Title: Illusion TV Interview With Laurell K. Hamilton Post by: Andrew on December 05, 2007, 12:51:16 PM Illusion TV posted a print interview with author Laurell K. Hamilton. Never read her stuff, but they appear to be erotic/horror novels.

Hamilton (IMHO) a great writer and one of my favorites. I do prefer her earlier writings, which were published only in paperback and were more horror than erotic, to her later writings which were published in hardback, as they have become more erotic than horror.
Now that she has a horror comic series out, I am looking forward to that. Title: Re: Illusion TV Interview With Laurell K. Hamilton Post by: AnubisVonMojo on December 09, 2007, 08:25:05 AM I'm with Kev on Laurell K.: Love her stuff and anyone who knows me knows that I don't usually dedicate the time and effort to reading anything other than comic books. Highly recommend her book The Midnight Cafe. Even if you find you're not a fan of her work, it's an anthology so the stories are easier to digest even if they're not suited to your pallet. The comic is okay. I read the first couple of issues before I dropped out of current continuity. I hear they've improved since those first few issues though, so fans should give them a shot. :thumbup:
Title: Re: Illusion TV Interview With Laurell K. Hamilton Post by: Jim H on December 11, 2007, 05:14:52 PM I quite enjoyed the early Anita Blake novels. They get worse and worse as it goes, from what I gather. I quit when they started to go downhill (book 5 I think). I did read some of Micah, a much later book, which is very short, and it was laughably bad.
Still, they probably hold more appeal to me than many here. The books take place in Hamilton's site of residence - St. Louis. References abound to areas in the city and the surrounding area - even Branson. Makes it interesting some times. Hamilton also used to do readings at the Wild Canid Research center (which breeds canids like red wolves, mexican grays, and African wild dogs, to preserve the species and in some cases for eventual wild release), they'd go out at night and some fans would show up, she'd read, and at the end they'd do the Howl. That's where everyone does a wolf howl, and if you're good enough, you can get the packs on site to join in too. Cool experience. I did a touch of volunteering there, sort of. My mom is a regular volunteer there, and says the people who would show up were often very gothy, which made it interesting. |
