I don't buy too many books, actually. I AM THE 99% (of the cheap bastards).

typo?
...the work [of?] my old nemesis

Wrong comic Kozz, he said Monday's.
On a different note: great comic! and do you mind if I steal Rick's idea?

In the bookstore where I work, we have Michael Crichton off in his own little space next to the Science Fiction. Occasionally, I will inform the more savvy customers that the name of that space is the "Anti-Science Fiction section."

Hunter S Thompson would definitely make the better Vampire. I'm pretty sure Douglas Adams is already a Unicorn or something...

I think Hunter S Thompson would make a great vampire. But Douglas Adams would make a funnier vampire.

I would totally read either book. But then I'm looking forward to Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

I would pay around $10, maybe up to $15 if it was chock full o' extras. Always seems to be a greedy money grab to me when the e-book version is the same price as the print (hardcover!).

Hunter S. Thompson.

Clearly Hunter S.

Is there supposed to be a typo in Rick's book ("work OF my nemesis")? Because that's just [sic].

Actually, Crichton did write at least one mystery. "A Case of Need" in 1968.

two questions:
1. do you still sell infini tees
2. how much would cost?

ONE MEELION DOLLARS.

*Cocks eyebrow, raises pinky to mouth*

Sorry, scott.
I'd pay premium for the real book but i'm really not into digital copies of books/comics.

I'd say between pi and e dollars.

Vampire HST? Talk about "bat country"...

Hunter S. Thompson

I didn't realise that the "Oscar Wilde Mysteries" by Giles Brandreth had made it across the Atlantic.
Or is this idea more prevalent than first feared?

To be fair though, even before his 4 Oscar Wilde books, Mr Brandreth was already pretty famous and famously erudite.

Hunter S. Thompson would be the scariest vampire who ever lived.

On a related note, Lovecraft actually wrote a story about Harry Houdini that he claimed was a true tale he 'ghost wrote' for Houdini after his death.

Hunter S. Thompson would make the better vampire. Mostly because as we all know, Douglas Adams makes the better Norse god.

I think i'd pay about $5.00, more than that and I'd want to be able to flick through the book.

I've also gotta say that Hunter S Thompson would be the better Vampire, Douglas Adams I could see more as a Mummy.

I'm liking the ebook idea. Epub please. How does $4.99 strike you? $11.99 for the 3 book set as an enticement? Free roll of toilet paper (bumb tissue?) to the first 20 orders?

NGAAA!!!

I still prefer paper over e-book. Which is why I already have a well-thumbed, oddly-stained copy of "The Curse of the Masking-Tape Mummy" on my bedstead.

Kidding about the stains.

Oh, BTW, "William Shakespeare and Jane Austen in... Love's Heaving Bosom!"

There was at least one real-world musical example of Rick's idea: the EP 'U2', by Negativeland.

Negativeland seem to have claimed that it was some kind of avant-garde art statement.

Maybe Michael Crichton could investigate the mystery of why anyone buys his books?

(just kidding. I actually like some of Michael Crichton's books)

Vampire Douglas Adams! Vampire Douglas Adams! Drinkin' the blood of alchoholics. Leadin' a Kiss of 42. And starring in the only vampire novel more ridiculous than all those cruddy romance ones.

...dude, that is BRILLIANT. As soon as I think of a good dead author I'm turning them into some sort of Sherlock-esque --- Ooooo! I will just use Sherlock Holmes! "The Previously Undiscovered Sherlock Holmes" and then it will be a story totally unrelated to the original books. Brilliant. I must away to my writing laboratory.

HST. Douglas Adams didn't believe in vampires, so he'd just end up rationalizing himself out of existence. Or barring that, into a mad case of porphyria.

Hunter Thompson WASN'T a vampire? Oh dear. Another delusion shattered.

Anywhere from 3-5 dollars seems fair to me.

Douglas Adams is the patron saint of the English language. Everyone knows saints can't be vampires. But he would probably be the hoopiest zombie ever.

Literary references: a rich vein to be mined.

So, related thought:
Change your legal name to William Fatfree.
Open a pizza shop.
Sell Fatfree Pizza.
Profits.

Gonna go with the general consensus and say that, while I enjoy and respect both their works, Hunter S. Thompson would make a better vampire than Douglas Adams. And neither of them would sparkle in the daylight.

Hunter Thompson would be way scarier. He was scary even when he was alive.

But if he was a vampire he would only want to bite drug users....

Fear and Impaling in Transylvania or So Long, and Thanks for all the Stakes?

$5.

Gonzo Vamprie for the win!

I'd like to think that if we brought back Douglas Adams from the dead to solve mysteries, he'd have just enough of a mental break to become Dirk Gently.

anything for a chance at a freebie
