OK, I watched the Vampire Hunter D -- Bloodlust DVD this evening. Fantastic stuff here. The animation rated among the best the Japanese have ever produced. Great music and sound quality. Even the English dubbing was a step above the usual.
SLIGHT SPOILER...
Really enjoyed the fact that the antagonist vampire, Myer Link, turned out to be fairly sympathetic. The climax with him and Charlotte taking off for the stars was beautiful. And to be cheered on by Layla, who'd been intent on killing him right up to the end... wo. I loved it.
Great recommendation from Arashi.

Jennifer -- I wish. As it stands, when HarperCollins changed ownership a couple of years ago, they cancelled several of their tie-in titles, including DARK SHADOWS.
Lara Parker had proposed a sequel to ANGELIQUE'S DESCENT, and it's possible that Tor Books is going to release it as a trade paperback. If they do any beyond that, which is questionable, my understanding is that they want the stars to write them.
Beth Massie and I have a near-completed outline for another book, and if the opportunity should present itself, we'd jump on it in a heartbeat. This one features Quentin as the main character and takes place shortly after the TV series ends, using a few aspects of the original projected storyline as its basis.
However, as is typical in the publishing business, sales, marketing, and politics come first, and what holds true today may not be true tomorrow. We'll have to see.
I had actually written three chapters of the proposed new novel, which a select few people have heard me read during various DS fan get-togethers. It would certainly be great to be able to complete the novel.
Thanks for the comments. Glad you enjoyed DREAMS.

Woohoo! Glad you liked it. (Wasn't the ending good?) You know, after all the troubles Charlotte and Myer went through just to be together, I was going to be really upset if they didn't end up being together!
You know the weird thing is, in Japan, they filmed this movie in English, and subtitled it in Japanese. People were booing the dub at anime cons, not-realizing it was how it was originally produced!
