Liese Sherwood-Fabre Books Category:  Horror Type: Fiction Pages: 7 Copyright: January 1, 2006 Price: FREE! (eBook) When Allison meets a stranger at the annual party in Dracula’s castle in Romania, she finds herself the debate of her life. This book is FREE as a pdf on Liese Sherwood-Fabre's website. Excerpt “You alone?” a male voice asked from behind her. Allison jumped and turned towards the sound. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.” She noticed his teeth first. They downright glowed in the semi-darkness, probably a set of plastic fangs. Widening her vision, she was aware of his height. He seemed much taller than Patrick. She craned her neck to look at him. He seemed quite interested in that part of her body when she did so. “It’s all right,” she said, unable to take her gaze from his teeth. “I just thought everybody was in the middle of the room.” “You do not want to join in?” She shook her head. “Not really. I’m not even sure why I came this year."

Debate with a Vampire a short story by Liese Sherwood-Fabre Review
I, as a true fan of the literary world, have a goodreads account {You can find it here} and every once in a while I get sent links to download ebooks in exchange for a review or simply so I may be able to tell the Author how I feel about their work. Well I have been pretty busy this summer with my son and just didn’t get around to check my goodreads past a quick peek or a check-in for a book I have read. Well today since I had the time I went ahead and peeked at my messages and I had a sweet message from the author of Debate with a Vampire, Liese Sherwood-Fabre. She was inviting me to read a free short story available at her website for download. I clicked on the link and a pdf came up with her short story. From the minute I started reading to the minute the story ended I was completely engrossed in her short tale. I got so into it I was actually sad when it ended so soon. I was craving a full book from this short story. It was well written and definitely unpredictable. I thought the story was going to go where most vampire stories go, cheese city. I was actually preparing myself for the cheese fest of a stranger who happens to be a vampire sweeping a helpless female from some sort of evil. Instead what I got was a thought-provoking story about a vampire seeking validation in others for his past choices. That got me thinking just like this vampire made certain choices and later looked for validation in others, do we all do this? Do we continuously ask others what choices they would have made in our situation to make us feel better about our own? & why do we do this? Are we not able to accept the mistakes we made in the past and move on? Or does this just depend on the person? Liese Sherwood is definitely an up and coming author to keep your eye on. She already has a few books out and is working on more.

Goodreads Review
This was a really cool short story. At first I was concerned because I didn't want it to be just another vampire story. This definitely was not just another vampire story, in fact it had some meaning behind it. The part I enjoyed the most was when the main character chose to be herself and not change because of revenge or because of evil. Not enough people stand up for what's right when caught in their emotions or when angry and upset with others. This short story is currently available on the authors website for a free download.
