I don't EVEN know...*

My co-worker and I are cackling over this e-book I stumbled across at Amazon. (I'm reading reviews/checking best sellers in my capacity as procurer of sci-fi/fantasy titles here at work. That this is in the top 100 sci-fi books makes me a little sadpants. Not enough to keep from belly laughing, though.) I'm considering this proof that the ability to publish your book in any format is maybe not enough reason FOR you to "publish" your book.

The blurb:
Angel Anael was sent to earth on a mission to help a human boy. What she did not expect was to be mistaken for a human girl and was bitten by a thirsty and attractive vampire named Kendrick. The mixing of both bloods created a new race of Angel Vampires!
The Angel Vampire

The reviews are the best part, honestly. "I recommend this story 200%" I don't know about you, but I'm TOTALLY sold. I'm so sold, I'm 200% sold!!

Signed,
(Mean) Marian the Librarian

*apologies to those of you subjected to this earlier on Twitter.

Oh hell. I found a site where I could read part of it online and it's even WORSE than I imagined. How in the world does anyone even like this?

I mean, I know there's no accounting for taste and all that, but I seriously don't see how anyone could objectively look at that and not laugh and/or recoil in horror. THE BAD, IT BURNS!

I wish we could know the age of the reviewers on Amazon. That would be so very entertaining to me.

What a horrible premise!!

I really want to see the Angel Vampires face off against Kickpuncher. I'm not even joking, not even a little bit. Sometimes I worry myself. lol

I need a Troy as Kickpuncher icon. Hmm.

And god, I hope I'm remembering correctly that you watch Community, or you're just going to be thinking I'm crazier than usual. :D
