A BOOK FOR THE (VAMPIRE) WEEKEND:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Novel Paperback  <\/strong>by <\/strong>Mike Chen<\/strong><\/a> (Author)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Norman Warwick<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After sharing praise yesterday about Vampire Weekend the music group, I began to wonder if there had been any books written about the ensemble. It seems not,\u2026or at least not yet ! However there is a novel of that name and that too has garnered compliments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the\u00a0New York Times\u00a0bestselling author of\u00a0Star Wars: Brotherhood.

\u201cA love letter to the power of music, this thoughtful, humorous exploration of what constitutes living versus mere survival sees Chen (Light Years from Home) at the top of his game.\u201d \u2014Publishers Weekly\u00a0starred review<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A strong emotional core carries Chen\u2019s (Light Years from Home, 2022) latest, which is ultimately about healing from old wounds and learning how to embrace life again after loss\u2014even if you\u2019re dead.” \u2014Booklist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

so it seems<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a vampire is far from glamorous\u2026but it can be pretty punk rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything you\u2019ve heard about vampires is a lie. They can\u2019t fly. No murders allowed (the community hates that). And turning into a bat? Completely ridiculous. In fact, vampire life is really just a lot of blood bags and night jobs. For Louise Chao, it\u2019s also lonely, since she swore off family ages ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n



At least she\u2019s gone to decades of punk rock shows. And if she can join a band of her own (while keeping her\u2026situation under wraps), maybe she\u2019ll finally feel like she belongs, too.
Then a long-lost teenage relative shows up at her door. Whether it\u2019s Ian\u2019s love of music or his bad attitude, for the first time in ages, Louise feels a connection<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.

But as Ian uncovers Louise\u2019s true identity, things get dangerous\u2014especially when he asks her for the ultimate favor. One that goes beyond just family\u2026one that might just change everything vampires know about life and death forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
