There's a download link to Dan's novel Blacker Darkness along with Writing Excuses Episode 33.

I read this and kept on thinking it would make a great movie... especially where he and John are carrying the coffin and then they start running backwards...I don't know why that scene just stuck with me.
-
I've only read an older version of this, but I think my favorite memory of it was when Mary Shelley was calling her Frankenstein monster her baby.
-
I've only made it to Chapter 9, my eyes aren't allowing me to read further though I would love to, and I am enjoying the dialogue very much :) I will pop back in when I have finished, thanks for letting us have a go at this too :D
-
Actually, Sigyn, the monster has been completely written out of the book. I know, I'm sad too, but it works better this way.
-
You killed her baby!
-
Okay, I really need to read the new version.

Yesterday I ordered that CD with all the Writing Excuses episodes and copies of Dan's Blacker Darkness and Brandon's Warbreaker. :)

I'm reading this out loud to my wife, it is quite enjoyable so far! :)

I love it, but then I've always been a fan of just random humor. I especially like how the vampires act in the first chapter or so. I kinda imagine them as monty python-ish, with the vampires talking excitedly to each other while following everything he does and giving little comments and compliments.

I had nearly the exact same thought. "Vampires are Palin's Spanish Inquisition! Brilliant!"

I just finished and I thought this was great fun. Definitely something that I would pick up in the store, and the character interaction would have to be the most fun I have had with a book in a while. Again, thanks for allowing us to read it. :)

;D Thank so much for sharing that with us. It was really enjoyable. Some parts really made me laugh. It definitely came across as a story crafted with care for the story itself. It kind of felt like Mary and John hijacked your story for a bit there. But she was definitely interesting enough that I was still curious where she was going. Overall it just makes me anticipate the serial killer story even more.
