Drinks, Nudity . . . and Croquet
No, I haven't gone completely round the bend since I sent Spence and Sadie off yesterday. I just promised to post a blog entry about my good friend Anne Frasier's new book, Pale Immortal, which is on sale as of today.
Anne, in a fit of industrious blogging, invited any of us who wished to write about Pale Immortal today. As I think Anne writes terrific -- albeit seriously scary -- books, I took her up on the offer. I'm incredibly sick of writing about Spence and Sadie, and now that they are someone else's problem for a while (thanks, ed!) I have the freedom to write about someone else.
Enter Pale Immortal which takes place in Tuonela, Wisconsin a sleepy Wisconsin town haunted by events of 100 years ago, when a man who may have been a vampire slaughtered the town's citizens and drank their blood. Now, another murderer is killing the most vulnerable...and draining their bodies of blood.
Evan Stroud lives in darkness. The pale prisoner of a strange disease
that prevents him from ever seeing the light of day, he lives in tragic
solitude, taunted for being a "vampire." When troubled teenager Graham
Stroud appears on Evan's doorstep, claiming to be his long-lost son,
Evan's uneasy solitude is shattered.
Having escaped Tuonela's mysterious pull for several years, Rachel
Burton is now back in town, filling in as coroner. Even as she seeks to
identify the killer, and uncover the source of the evil that seems to
pervade the town, she is drawn to Evan by a power she's helpless to
understand or resist....
As Graham is pulled deeper and deeper into Tuonela's depraved,
vampire-obsessed underworld, Rachel and Evan team up to save him. But
the force they are fighting is both powerful and elusive...and willing
to take them to the very mouth of hell.
Scary enough for you?
Anne, with the help of her video-savvy daughter, has even created a video to go with the experience and a soundtrack or mp3s to put you in the mood.
You can check them all out at the Pale Immortal blog
So if you're looking for something a little bit different -- and a whole lot suspenseful -- let Anne show you around Tuonela. You won't regret it.
Pale Immortal was released today by Penguin/NAL/ONYX. Check it out.
And as for the drinks, nudity and croquet -- drop by Anne's virtual party on her blog. You never know what might be going on. Check it out. BYOM. (Bring your own mallet)
