Cole W liked Wynter's review of Between Two Fires:
Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman
"8/10 stars. For anyone who read Lapvona and thought ‘man, I wish this was 10x grosser and more offensive.�"

A richly atmospheric and quietly unsettling tale that helped lay the foundation for vampire literature as we know it. The mood is gothic and immersive, with a creeping tension that builds slowly through vivid settings and subtle character interactions. It’s the kind of story that doesn’t rush, asking the reader to immerse themselves in its eerie world and trust the journey. While some sections move at a more leisurely pace, the payoff in tone and theme is well worth it.

What makes this piece especially fascinating is how clearly it influenced Dracula and the entire lineage of vampire fiction that followed. Long before fangs became a pop culture staple, this story explored the emotional and psychological terrain of the supernatural with surprising nuance. It’s essential reading for anyone interested in the roots of gothic horror or the early evolution of the vampire mythos. ]]> ReadStatus9368563108 Tue, 29 Apr 2025 19:18:27 -0700 <![CDATA[Cole wants to read 'Foreign Fruit: A Personal History of the Orange']]> /review/show/7530029107 Foreign Fruit by Katie Goh Cole wants to read Foreign Fruit: A Personal History of the Orange by Katie Goh
