I'm reading Nightlight, which I just came across last night at the book store... and I highly recommend it to those with a healthy sense of humor. My abs hurt from laughing so hard.
It's a parody of Twilight... KEEP IN MIND... I am a fan of the original first book, so I'm not suggesting it as a slight. I could only wish that I have a book published one day that someone thinks is worthy enough and is compelled to parody with such excellence. I actually think it'd be fantastic professional goal as a writer! The biggest form or flattery.
Anyway... If you've read Twilight (or even it you haven't) or know anything about the frenzy behind the mania (how could you miss it?), it'll be worth a read. I'll be quoting Nightlight like a Monty Python skit for the rest of my living days.
Any other Vamp parodies out there worth mentioning? I love a good laugh... and this hurts it's so good. I'd be curious what else is out there in vamp/urban fantasy parodies.
Here's an excerpt:
The next morning I was on my way to first period when someone grabbed me from behind, reminding me of the vice principal pulling me off the stage during the talent show in Phoenix. I still don't know why my act was cut short; my alter ego BelGo is a terrific rapper and break-dancer.
I turned longingly, but it wasn't Vice Principal Dechard, it was Edwart.
"Oh, so you're talking to me now?" I asked coyly.
"Yes of course. When was I not talking to you?"
I remembered last night, when I called Edwart repeatedly, pretending to be selling tooth sharpeners. He had hung up every time. I decided not to mention it.
"Were you okay yesterday after I brought you to the nurse?" Edwart asked.
"Yes. Were you?" I asked, assuming that vampires experienced deep soul pain.
