Big disappointment. This is not a novel, this is not even a novel with illustrations. This is a comic book. Why did Anne Rice put her name on this!
1 of 3 found this helpful I have never been more disappointed in a book. This book was listed as a graphic novel but this is not a novel, this is not even a novel with illustrations, it is a comic book. This book is all pictures with poorly created captions that are insanely hard to read, especially the small white type on black background.
The story is ok, but its nothing that isn't already in Interview with the Vampire. Maybe i'm most disappointed that this wasn't an entire novel written by Anne Rice expanding on the view of Claudia as a vampire, but it is also really hard to read and there is no new information other than what was in the book Interview.

Best Album I Never Knew Existed
I bought this album for the Mad Season cover of "I Don't Wanna a Soldier" because I'm a huge Alice in Chaines/Layne Staley fan.
I love that there are so many other great songs on it that I didn't even know existed! Like Candlebox's cover of "Steel & glass" Blues Traveler's cover of "Imagine"
It's great. I would buy this again for so many people.

This book lives up to its title. it's Dark for sure. Could. Not. Put. It. Down.
Dark Places Review
This book lives up to being Dark. It was a real page turner. I read it in 2 sittings. Could. Not. Put. It. Down. I tried to be as vague as possible to not create any spoilers, but be warned, there could be spoilers!
While written very concisely, like a Hemingway short story, there were two dream sequences that were out of place. They had nothing to do with the rest of the book and added nothing to the story. Then again, some of Hemingway's short stories have interludes like that.
The ending, while a surprise, had most of its aspects inferred to earlier in the book.
The Jolly Rancher incident with Ben and Krissi was cringe-worthy, so much so, that had I considered not finishing the book. By this point I was hooked though.
What was the "Devil Rush" drug? PCP? bath salts? Of all the believable aspects of Dark Places, that was the most unbelievable. It verged on science fiction or magic, and didn't fit in with the rest of the book. Although the after effects of the Devils Rush and animal killing could explain Diondra's actions towards Michelle, but also, why would Diondra care about what Michelle knew? It wasn't like Michelle was going to tell Diondra's parents. Also, how did Diondra support herself and Crystal? It's not really believable that she could pull that off alone.
Diondra was an odd character. She was a bit of a stretch as well as her relationship to Trey. Plus the amount of drugs taken and alcohol consumed while in her condition. As far as the Satantic aspects involving Diondra, it was odd they actually existed, and as it turns out, they weren't just 1990's Satanic panic.
Uh, and Slayer, not the most original "satanic music" band, and who has actually heard the band Venom before? Growing up listening to the headbangers ball in the 80's, I've never even heard of them.
The final chapters, while you do find out what actually happened, kept go on and on and on. I'm not sure what the point was of all the follow up chapters was. I couldn't wait to get through them all.
Some critics don't like the switching back and forth between time lines. I think this was done really well in this case. I've read other books that attempted this, even a Stephen King book comes to mind, and his was way harder to follow as far as jumping trough time goes.
In spite of not sounding like a positive review, I did love this book. There were some unnecessary and implausible situations but it definitely was a pager turner. I had to keep reading to find out what happened that night.
