About the Book

This is not the OZ you were expecting.

In this dark rework of the magical land of Oz, Dorothy Gale sets out to save her small farming commune from an attack by vampires and to avenge the death of her parents at their hands.

She quickly finds herself on the wrong side of the rainbow, lost in a cursed forest and hunted by vampires, her trail dogged by an undead creature that seems to determined to "make her acquaintance."

Can this quiet farm girl find the courage to see her quest through to the finish, even if it means going into the heart of darkness at the very edge of the world?

I'd like to read it and see if it's something my daughter would like. She is into the whole Vampire thing right now but I always read them first..I'm not even into vampires :) oh i almost forgot I Want It.

OK, to start with "I want it." ;) I'm a Wizard of Oz buff (aren't we all) and I LOVE all things vampire (except Twilight, I mean REALLY??!!). Add those together, mix in a little "OMG this story sounds too cool to be true" and you have my #1 reason to want it. And of course you look marvelous. That just goes without saying, right?

11/14/2012 11:10:51 pm

Wholly Boogers...I SOOOOOO WANT THIS!!!!
The Wizard of OZ is SWEET and having Dorothy Gale as a Vamp Hunter OMG!!! Totally COOL!!!
This is like having hot chocolate with whip cream!!!
You Look AMAZING BTW :0)
Thanks for the chance to win...haope you have a great Thanksgiving.

Sarah

I want it super bad for myself, but even more for a gift for my sister! She's a huge WoO fan (can you say, watched a bazillion times when we were kids?) She can do the entire score, in voice. She's also an enormous vampire lit/television/movie fan. In addition to memorizing the WoO score, I'm pretty sure she can dictate any episode of Buffy on command. This is a perfect coupling for her ;)

OMG! I WANT IT! One, I love vampires. I've been obsessed with them since I was 5, I'm now 27! So anything to do with them, I devour! And two, Oz makes me think of my mom. She loved the movie and books, but the flying monkies and the guards in front of the Wicked Witches Tower saying "oh we oh" always freaked her out! I bet she would have LOVED this book. She passed 2 yrs ago. I miss her something fierce, but smile at the memories I have- like Oz! LOL! Thanks for the chance!

Thanks for the comment, Jesse. My later father-in-law was a big, big OZ fan too. We miss him greatly, but somehow WoZ always reminds us of him and keeps him in our hearts.
