Set during the Civil War, dead soldiers are coming back to life, but not as humans. They are now vampires. Because of the chaos of the war, the vampires are using this to their advantage. They are feeding upon the innocent citizens of the United States.
There is a secret group of soldiers lead by Cole Granger that fights the creatures of the night. Along with him is Cody Fox, a half-vampire, soldier. During a bloody battle, they come across a young woman, Megan Fox. She claims to be Cody’s half-sister. They try to work together to stop the undead from feeding.
I didn’t realize that Night of the Vampires was set during the Civil War. By the cover I would say it was during modern times. The main female character is named Megan Fox. I laughed out loud when I read this, thinking of the actress. I have a few paperbacks somewhere of Heather Graham that I haven’t gotten around to reading. I like the idea of vampires during the Civil War, but there times that I thought the author was telling instead of showing. At times the dialogue is a bit cheesy and unrealistic for the time-period. But for some odd reason, I still liked the book. I think the author meant for this to be a realistic novel, but I can easily see this being turned into a horror-comedy feature film. If you like reading about vampires, then I recommend you checking this out.
*I would like to thank Netgalley and Harlequin for sending me a copy to review.
. I remember seeing it advertise once and I never heard anything more about the movie. I have the first book somewhere, but I have never read it. I enjoyed the movie, but thought it was a little dark for children. 
and probably the franchise, that aired on the new, weak version of SyFy, formally the Scifi Channel. It seems the network has forgotten that SyFy is short for science fiction, and not lame reality shows. Do not get me wrong, I have nothing against Ghost Hunters, Destination Truth, or the Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files, but I believe that they have lost touch with their core audience by adding WWE Smackdown (What does wrestling has to do with science fiction?), Scare Tactics, and now a cooking show. I should not even mention their low budget, bad writing, and bad acting original movies. It seems every month that they air a new giant snake or disaster movie. I wonder if they ever heard of the word "original." I remember when they actually aired classic science fiction series, instead of remakes of British series. I do not see SyFy lasting very much longer, maybe Disney can buy the channel.

. I already have Phineas and Ferb: The Fast and the Phineas. Yes, I know it is a cartoon, but what can I say, I am a cartoon fan. I mostly prefer cartoons from my youth, late 80's and early 90's. I stumbled upon Phineas and Freb last year. I first I thought the animation was silly, but after awhile I was hooked. 
that I had ordered. It aired on Fox back in 1996 as a backdoor pilot, and it did not do well in ratings. I am a fan of the new version of Doctor Who and its spin-off Torchwood. The movie has a completely different feel to it. I enjoyed watching it, but there were things that annoyed me. First off, Eric Roberts was a terrible choice to play the Master. He overacted through the whole movie. The producers should have hired an older English actor. The plot was very thin, well there was not really a plot besides the Master needing to take over the Doctor's body. The best part of the movie is the inside of the TARDIS, where there were bookshelves filled with old books. If you are a Doctor Who fan, then you will probably like the movie, but I would not recommend it to new fans.
