Does anyone here like Poppy Z. Brite? She is my fave horror writer. I especially like Drawing Blood and Lost Souls.

I read Lost Souls...I believe. Was there a trio of Vamps who hung out in New Orleans and drank all the time? I read that one, whichever it was. Can't remember, I remember liking it though.

Yup! That's the one they drank a lot of booze along with blood:) They were hard partying vampires.
Drawing Blood is a really cool one too. It's a haunted house story but super twisted and interesting. I especially like that one of the main characters is an underground cartoonist.
In my opinion her most disturbing was Exquisite Corpse, it' super-gory and about 2 serial killers hooking up. Serial killer stories are always the scariest (as opposed to supernatural) because they could really be out there!
hey!! YES finally others!!!!!
Ive read Drawing Blood and Exquisite corpse- i havnt read lost souls- sounds like i should tho!!!
I have jus fallen in love with her books and hav shared them with all of my friends!!!

Cool! If you liked Exquisite Corpse you should check out her 'The Crow' novel 'Lazarus Heart'. Major nasty killer action there and it fits in with the whole dark 'The Crow' vibe. I like her short story collections too.

Cool! Her website said that Exquisite Corpse is in talks for a movie version. Now that would be terrifying!
