Books that take place in gritty dark settings are some of the best in my opinion. Dark fiction that offers escapism from the mundane. Interview with the Vampire is a great book to read that is drenched in Halloween like nostalgia. I assume that most of you are familiar with the movie, but not with the book. The book gives one quite an adventure in New Orleans.

There is a lesser known sequel to this book called The Vampire Lestat. I bet you the book will humor you and terrify you. The book is about the antagonist from Interview with the Vampire (Tom Cruise).

I read the first three: Interview, Lestat, Queen of the Damned about jeez...30 years ago. All engaged me as well written and a new spin on the genre.

I saw the thread, but have no serious urge to jump in. That may change in about three weeks when my semester is over, we'll see.Chris OConnor wrote: I'm not sure why our regulars aren't suggesting books but we're due for selecting a new non-fiction.
Also, my wife hijacked my copy of "Caste" for a more intense look at it that she is joining, so that is kind of hanging over me as some non-fiction I would like to get into. I am not even managing to keep up with the Fiction, so there's that.
The suggestions I have seen so far strike me as pretty interesting. The one that probably would pull me in best is "Think Again" though the Dawkins book looks almost as intriguing. Anyway, I will lurk around and hope for something that catches my fancy.

I'm locking this thread and creating a poll based on the non-fiction suggestions made here. I'll create a brand new thread for non-fiction suggestions for the next discussion.
