alternet: Love Bites: What Sexy Vampires Tell Us About Our Culture

By xxxevilgrinxxx | Published: November 29, 2008

By Sarah Seltzer , RH Reality Check Posted on November 28, 2008, Printed on November 28, 2008 http://www.alternet.org… Teen vampire flick and pop-culture juggernaut “Twilight”, like “Mama Mia!” and “Sex and the City” before it, shattered records this weekend and made female moviegoers hard to ignore. “Twilight” is far from a feminist triumph, though: it’s [...]

Rider 32

The plans had changed; up until now it had really been Bishop’s show but that was no longer the case, now that Bishop was dead. The tech officer, Johns, and the last merc that had been on their team stood quietly and looked at Duncan, for direction, any direction. He still wanted to find Theopoulis, [...]

Rider 31

Duncan had always known that it would come down to this moment. Bishop had been haunted in one way or another by that first encounter between them for the last twenty years. Everything had slipped out of control, a blend of accident and design. Duncan was not a man that thought of fate, or he [...]

Rider 30

Bishop stood just outside of the ship and leaned against the massive trunk where there was protection from the rain. He hadn’t wanted to leave the area at all and would have preferred to take the village right then and there, but Duncan had insisted that they wait for the cover of night to besiege [...]

Still Life With Taylor 18

Sit on the fire escape, with a cup of coffee, and watch her paint, through the open window. Brown black, blue black, green black. She’s lost in it. Listening to a voice only she can hear. Every once in a while holding the brush in her teeth, moving the paint with her hands, as though [...]

He kisses me, maybe to stop me from saying anything. What could either of us say anyways? There are things that just are because they are. Fate. They can’t be explained, and maybe shouldn’t be. So he kisses me. Sometimes it’s better to just be quiet. It’s not complicated.

Still Life With Taylor 16

She’s safe. I’d say Matty and I were even. If I was keeping score. I always knew that Matty felt he owed me, after I took that shot for him in Montana. Never realized how far he would be willing to go to make it right. How hard he was willing to push back, just [...]

Still Life With Taylor 15

They’d been coming in, in one’s and two’s, for the back half of the night. It had been let slip that all of us would be here, alone. That I would be here. Seems that I was the clincher, it being the second time I had pulled a shotgun in the bar, against these guys.

Matty and Sal are playing a fucking dangerous game with these two. The Novo brothers, Tony and Nick. A team of assassins. Not really tied to any particular family. Will work for whoever will pay them. It’s too late to get Christine out now. Too late by far. Any attempt to run will just draw [...]

Can’t help but be happy with myself, her legs shaking just a little, as I watch her hips sway, making her way to the bathroom. I’ll join her in a minute. I’m a little shaky myself. At this pace we’ll both be dead in a week. Not a bad way to go.
