Well, figure this is as good a place as any for my first post.  I don't think there is anything to be said so far on the book itself that hasn't been said so far: a little slow at the start, though not unecessarily so imo, and otherwise fantastic.  I have a feeling we're in one hell of a dark, gloomy, and engrossing tale here.

As for the Black Court, page 251 of GP states "The Black Court was nearly wiped out, Thomas said."  It then goes on to reference that a big root cause for this was Bram Stoker publishing Dracula, his Big Book of Black Court Vampire Slaying.  I believe there was also a similar reference in BR which also indicated that the White Court payed Stoker to write it, thought I didn't have time to check for a page number on that one.

And as a parting note, I was reading this late at night, and that exchange with Molly scared the crap out of me at first, though that quickly faded in favor of real sadness.  Damn it Jim, I'm not supposed to care about fictional characters this much!

(I kid, keep up the good work).
