With vampires do not mess around. Or, maybe yes, but it takes craft. Why force variations on the theme, rehabilitation and ex post ricicciature eroticized Zerododici height, the bloodsuckers in literary image of Count Dracula has cost us almost all the original appeal. We test Jessica Abel, excellent writer and tireless explorer encounters / clashes between cultures has already been tried nell'imperdibile La Perdida : the book antitola Bitter Blood (Black Velvet, € 16.50), is written very well with the music journalist Gabe Soria and Warren designed optimally by Carneades English Pleece, Bryan Talbot as a defining but with a stronger talent grotesque.
Life Sucks, this is the title to watch the book, well translated by an inspired Leonardo Rizzi, tells the coming of age a Nosfigatus any. The life of Dave, an apprentice leech twenties from physics and super-powers does not exist in sleep, runs through the nights of temporary work to shop, hang with the other vampires, and the nerd life lessons of his lord and master Radu, Romanian vampire buzzico but perfectly integrated into the American system. Everything under control, do not enter the equation until she and the other, ie the Latin darkettona Rosa and the vampire rich and beautiful stronzissimo Wes. And here the deal is swelling a lot. A little 'teen comedy, a little' romance, a little 'existential drama and very little horror, Blood Bitterness is chic but not snobby, easy but not trivial, sexy but not vulgar, mischievous but not irritating, cerebral but not forced. And with an ending that turns the initial premises in its entirety, adding a specific weight at a reading light in form, never in substance. Buy.
