The "Mother of all Vampires" Theme Week

By -
As mentioned last week, today kicks off a new theme week here at the League. My fellow conspirators and I wanted to do something not only tied in with Michele B.'s new release, but (and I can't believe I forgot this!) also celebrates May 10th.

What's May 10th, this coming Sunday? Mother's Day (USA), folks!

So let's celebrate/commiserate Mom in all her forms where our favorite vampires are concerned (books, movies, TV, etc...)!

I loved Esme in the Twilight series. She is a wonderful mom and vampire to boot.

I didn't realize it was this Sunday for Mother's Day until I saw them talking on TV about it and realized its this week. Mine goes quietly here but I get an extra kiss and hugs and thanks from my kids that day and its worth it!

I don't watch much TV or books, but I did love Moonlight the short time it was on and Mick and Beth. I remember one episode and they were involved with dealing with a child of Mick's past. They'd make wonderful parents too!

The only other vamp moms I can think of are:
Blades Mom (but he dusted her),
Spike's Mom (but with the whole buffy and angel thing it does get a bit sordid after all are you talking birth moms or are we talking blood moms.)
Oh and Vampire Lestats mom. Thats as far as I get on that front though.

Dracula's Brides in Van Helsing were hilarious vampire moms, as was Jason Patrick's mom in Lost Boys, and Marguerite A. (I don't want to butcher the spelling of her last name) in Lynsay Sands' books. I'm trying to think of wacky vampire moms, but my brain is still snuggled up in bed.

My favorite vampire mom? Probably any of Michele's heroines from the Broken Hearts series. Or maybe Anne Rice's Queen of Darkness. Guess it depends on my mood. :D

Aw, thanks Jackie. Other than my own sexy vampires, I love Dakota's Nina and Mark's Gil. And Molly's vamps are awesome, too.

Hah! Gotcha all beat...my real mom is Arla Yvonne, vampire sheriff of area 2 in Louisisana (courtesy of Charlaine Harris). Top that! :-P

Gotta love those blood-sucking Mamas!

It's Mother's Day this Sunday in Australia also.

I guess my vampire knowledge isn't as good as I like to think it is because I couldn't think of a single vampire mum. Or a vampire with a mum. Not one.

Oh, the shame!

Vamps that are Moms? Hmmm

Selene of Underworld. Hey, Kate Beckensale is a mother. Close enough for me, besides I LOVE her sexy English accent.

I'm pretty fond of Cat Crawfield's mom, Justina, in the Night Huntress books. She's developed into such an interesting character over the course of the series.

THE WRITE PRETENDAS

WE at the League of Reluctant Adults are pissed. Miffed. Put out. Thoroughly riled. We don't often get political, nor do we often get angry. But an angry Leaguer is an UGLY thing. Just look at Mark over there, all snarly with rage. Why are we angry, you ask? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET BOYCOTTED. There's this group calling itself "The Write Agenda," who claims to be a bunch of authors looking out for other authors. In reality, we're pretty sure they're a bunch of con artists who got mad at people calling them con artists. Why? Because they attack two of the best friends an author or an aspiring author can ever have: Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler . Here's John Scalzi's breakdown of what this Write Agenda is, and why they're doing what they're doing. For those not in the know, Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler are free services that collect information on agents, editors, and publishers. They report on thin...

Carniepunk Giveaway and Tour!

So, I'm sitting in my kitchen working at my laptop, as far as you know, when the doorbell rings. As any normal human being would, assuming there was a solicitor at the door or a sappy-eyed child selling diet-busting candy, I reached for my gun and slipped to the floor to avoid detection. Creeping across the hall, I lifted my head just in time to see the bestest shit-brown truck that ever existed barrel away leaving a puffy beige package on my doorstep, just like an unwanted baby...or THIS... YESSSSSSS!!! Carniepunk ARCs came!!! Now, some of you may know that this literary wonder was the brainchild of my friend and fellow Reluctant Adult, Kevin Hearne, author of such Iron Druidness as HOUNDED and star of a certain Single Ladies Dance Spectacular, featured here (feel free to witness that particular madness as you continue to read toward the inevitable contest): As excited as I am about my story in CARNIEPUNK (July 23rd), THE SWEETER THE JUICE (a post-apocalyptic zombie h...

5 Great Horror Movies to Rinse the Bad Taste of Ouija Away

In my ongoing effort to save you from studio horror movies cobbled together from the compressed shit of Hollywood burnouts, I bring you alternatives to OUIJA! #insteadofouija OUIJA has hit DVD/VOD and there's nothing we can do about that but don our gas masks, hunker down and pray for dawn. A horrifying prospect, but at least we can be entertained while waiting for the fallout to subside. Here's a few fantastic 2014 horror movie releases to make you feel like the world is still worth living... OCULUS seems to be a secret to this day. Despite some great buzz and a truly inventive style of storytelling, bouncing back and forth in time so fast the audience is left in a constant state of unease. The story wraps itself around a rapidly deteriorating family relationship brought to the brink of insanity by the presence of a haunted mirror. And that's where things get weird. The acting is pretty above average and the horror set pieces are jarring. OCULUS wasn't my fav...
