While some people waste their time writing Twilight fan-fiction and then convert it into best selling mommy porn, I prefer to concentrate on my own brand of fan-fic in which American vampire Skinner Sweet messily murders every character that Stephenie Meyer ever created. I'm hoping to get that book deal any day now. 
 There are several different stories contained in this collection. A flashback to Skinner's pre-vampire days as a cavalry officer fighting Indians shows that he may once have been human, but he's always been an asshole. This one also adds some surprising layers to his relationship to Jim Book. 
 In the 1950s, a young greaser named Travis Kidd is a rogue vampire hunter and mixes it up some suburban bloodsuckers while refusing to work for the Vassals of the Morning Star. 
 Calvin Poole is a black man traveling through the segregated south as the civil rights movement is heating up which is dangerous enough but being a vampire helps him deal with a pack of murderous racists. 
 This is a series that is getting more intriguing the deeper I get into it. There's several shocking revelations in this one that build on what we've seen before while Scott Snyder patiently creates a mythology that is based on different vampire species at war with each other and humans through American history. I can't wait to see what kind of blood soaked horror he comes up with for those damn dirty hippies in the '60s.
