Oh lordie, that sounds just like the sort of book I, in some of my more
deranged moments, might be capable of writing.  No, Calder's trilogy features
something called the Doll Plague, a nanoplague which turns pubescent girls
into "dolls", Dead Girls, pleasure androids with an unearthly vampiric
streak, Lilim, daughters of Lilith.  And which also turns "doll junkies" into
Dead Boys, Elohim, killers of the traitresses, renegade Lilim, followers of
the "way of the cat".

I am rather nihilistic in my view of the male-female relationship in my only
completed novel, as yet unpublished - of course!  All unpublished novelists
are crazy! - but I've never got quite that black a vision.  Vheratsho is
nasty, but I've kept her nastiness off screen, guessed only.  Primavera
Bobinski is even nastier!

Still, there's a show on tv called "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer", which could've
been turned into something quite beyond expectation ....  I'm hoping
someone'll come up with "Vampire, the Buffy Slayer" soon - it cries out for
it.
