Looking to make an "R" sticker.

Expect a few more pages of this kind of thing.

I'm not a sexy vampire fan. Good thing there are no sexy vampires in The Fall. Nope, instead it's full of gross, vomiting vampires. Have I mentioned blood worms? Blood worms.

Enjoy.

There are no sexy vampires in The Strain. These are Lovecraftian-space-virus-throbbing-blood-worm-parasite vampires and pretty much everything about them is creepy and disgusting.

Hell yes.

While I enjoyed Dennis Lehane's Moonlight Mile it felt, almost from page one, that he was writing this book to really put an end to the Kenzie/Gennaro novels. Clearly, things had changed for them to the point (a kid, 'nuff said) where they fit awkwardly into a world they once naturally inhabited.

On the one hand, it was a natural evolution for the characters who had grown older and had more than a few life changing experiences over the years. On the other… it made another book in this series seem entirely, completely, utterly pointless.

I'm no physicist, and even I know that The Grand Design is a little premature. It's also a little bit of linkbait owing to the examination of the need for a creator to set the universe in motion ("ZOMG, Hawking said there is no GOD!!!!!1111!!!")

Still, it's interesting, a little bit funny and if you keep up with popular distillations of cutting-edge physics it's not impossible to wrap your head around.
