Comments on 'Philosophical Questions and Vampire Tomes'As the two boys sat in holy reverence of the pilfered tome, Sean wondered about what his friend had said. Philosophically speaking, did stealing a book from a vampire and stashing it at your aunt's apartment constitute killing someone? If what his dad said about her was correct, she could probably handle herself. Probably. Anyway, she ate a lot of garlic.
"Should we read it?" Dean whispered.
Giving him his best look to convey an opinion of low intelligence, Sean responded, "Of course we're going to read it! Do you think I went through all that just to use it to prop up the coffee table?"
"Well, it's kinda wobbly, and you're mom's always..."
"Dude," Sean cut him off, "What did I tell you about talking about my mom?"
Dean sulked a little, grumbled, then turned back to the treasure, "Let's just read the book."
With a deep breath, Sean said in all seriousness, "You do realize there's no turning back after this? You can't unlearn this stuff. Are you ready?"
With a grave nod, the boys began to read.2008-05-19T06:11:57Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/25405Comment on Philosophical Questions and Vampire Tomes<p>It’s possible that Sterling is in Celeste’s house? Enjoyed the banter and the reference to mom.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/25405?basename=633162008-05-19T06:11:57ZPyroPunk 51 (PPP LoA)http://ficlets.com/authors/pyropunkComment on Philosophical Questions and Vampire Tomes<p>I have added a sequel to this one :-)</p>

The main thing for me was that Ridcully’s prequel had him stealing a copy from her, while later sequels (which were written previously) have the book stolen from Howie’s vampire Sterling Wilson. Also, Celeste, as co-author of the book, should have multiple copies in her home to give out as gifts.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/25405?basename=509902008-03-23T15:34:27ZBARomerohttp://ficlets.com/authors/baromeroComment on Philosophical Questions and Vampire Tomes<p>I hear ya’, Ridcully, but I think the Dr. Celeste is a bit too ancient (if I remember the bio right) to be our young protagonist’s aunt. I’m picturing her as a witch maybe, with a coincidental name.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/25405?basename=507982008-03-22T18:42:47ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477Comment on Philosophical Questions and Vampire Tomes<p>Good fun, although I am disappointed that aunt Celeste’s role is changing – I had fun linking her in as the vampiress (is that a word?)</p>

Can’t wait for a sequel.<br />LoA</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/25405?basename=506322008-03-22T01:13:31ZFreedomhttp://ficlets.com/authors/http_ficlets_com_authors_withinthewords_comComment on Philosophical Questions and Vampire Tomes<p>So the main thing I’m picking up here is that Sean’s Aunt Celeste might not be the same person who co-authored the Guide and provided psychotherapy to a certain Irish zombie bodyguard. Great job of straightening out the continuity on this storyline, THX ! Thanks!</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/25405?basename=506292008-03-22T00:57:42ZBARomerohttp://ficlets.com/authors/baromeroComment on Philosophical Questions and Vampire Tomes<p>Not a silly sequel at all! Wonderful dialogue that showed perfectly that when you’re nervous or about to do something serious, you make jokes. I like this splinter set of sequels off BARomero’s Vampirism guide. It’s fun!</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/25405?basename=506182008-03-22T00:09:33ZMeliahttp://ficlets.com/authors/meliaComment on Philosophical Questions and Vampire Tomes<p>Good repartee between the two. I need to go back and read some of the prequels so I could understand what’s happening here. Interesting stuff!<br />LoA</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/25405?basename=505952008-03-21T22:25:05ZAna Cristinahttp://ficlets.com/authors/asimon78Comment on Philosophical Questions and Vampire Tomes<p>loved the dialogue ,interaction between the boys. the wit and humor.<br />LoA</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/25405?basename=505842008-03-21T21:50:27ZSKermitgorfhttp://ficlets.com/authors/kermitgorf
