It’s a dark, fantasy world where vamps live out in the open and at the same time, the way Price has written the characters the story has a depth of reality to it. It mirrored the storyline and the characters which only made the story that much better. The writing was off the chains intense, serious and yet, slightly hysterical. You know, since he’s going to hell and all for being in love with another man. They even have the whole meet the parents drama most couples face right down to the grand parents that have joined a prayer group to pray for Michaels soul. He’s very possessive of Michael, but he’s just as protective of his human lover. But by the end, he can’t kiss Michael enough. In the beginning, Bill tells Michael he doesn’t kiss, it’s too personal. What really drew me into their love story was how normal it was in the middle of all the madness, murder and mayhem. They go at everywhere from parks to picnic tables, abandoned houses, seedy motels and the back of their van that they’ve turned into a coffin on wheels.
They are a very passionate couple, let me tell you. And while Michael is figuring out that not all vamps are bad, he still makes it his life mission to kill the bad ones, with his bad ass vampire lover by his side. Michael has found something intriguing in Wild Bill, the James Dean-esque vampire that cranks his shaft. What Bill didn’t count on was the twenty one year old with those sexy, kohl lined, blue eyes, and dyed black hair tracking him down. He figured out quickly what Michael had planned, so he helped the kid out, then dumped him off at the greyhound station. Bill only wanted to kill one vampire, the one that accidentally created him when he fed on Bill then left him for dead. Michael not only learns he was wrong about Bill, but he’s wrong about vamps, they aren’t all murdering psychos. When Michael meets Bill in a bar, he takes him for just another horny guy and blows him off. His messenger bag is full of wooden stakes and blister packs of rohypnol. When Michaels best friend Mary was killed, drained by bad vamps, he set out to kill them all. Michael is bound and determined to cleanse the earth of the vile race of vampires.
I don't even remotely understand the title. I think the series title, Sweet Oblivion, is far better.
If you could rename Channeling Morpheus for Scary Mary, what would you call it?
The open field, when Michael first finds Wild Bill, before they officially set out on their cross country ride in the sex wagon full of stakes and Bill's haul from "shopping". I loved his raspy tone and how he turned out to be the sane one. How Price created the dark, fantasy world, but made it seem so realistic. I think the story itself was just amazing. What made the experience of listening to Channeling Morpheus for Scary Mary the most enjoyable? Dark and Intense vamp romance, with a little humor
