The Small Hours is the darkest part of night, right before dawn.
It's also the title of my upcoming vampire novel.
It's funny, sexy, and very, very bloody.
A modern-day splatterpunk.
You cannot touch me, you would not dare
I am the chill that's in the air

I am a huge Pink Floyd fan, but I've never really liked The Wall. Poser rockers always say "We don't need no education!" (um, yes you do). It felt overhyped, so I never gave it a solid listen.
I bought it on vinyl.
This sounds amazing. It's no Wish You Were Here, but damn ... this is great.

As someone who has pretty much ignored most fantasy my entire life, with the exception of a few select titles, I find myself obsessed with the genre as of late. What makes it frustrating, in a good way, is that I still don't really care for high (epic) fantasy, preferring low fantasy.
