Synopsis
"Christmas wont be Christmas without any corpses." The dear, sweet March sisters are back, and Marmee has told them to be good little women. Good little vampire women, that is. That's right: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy have grown up since you last read their tale, and now they have (much) longer lives and (much) more ravenous appetites. Marmee has taught them well, and so they live by an unprecedented moral code of abstinence . . . from human blood. Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy must learn to get along with one another, help make society a better place, and avoid the vampire hunters who pose a constant threat to their existence. Plus, Laurie is dying to become a part of the March family, at any cost. Some things never change. This horrifying--and hilarious--retelling of a timeless American classic will leave readers craving the bloodthirsty drama on each and every page.

    Unfunny Plagiarism/Parody

    I love a good parody or an updating of a favorite classic, but LITTLE VAMPIRE WOMEN is neither. Aside from a few funny lines ("Christmas won't be Christmas without corpses"), this book seems more plagiarism than parody. It doesn't attempt to show the March girls as vampires, with all the complications that would involve; it merely SAYS the March girls are vampires, but since they have sworn off human blood, they pose no danger to anyone and live exactly as the Marches do in LITTLE WOMEN. The girls age (albeit at a slower rate than humans); Beth dies of a wasting disease (not even a stake to the heart); and long passages are lifted verbatim from LITTLE WOMEN. If you like the current trend of infusing classics with the supernatural, read LITTLE WOMEN AND WEREWOLVES; at least, in the ...
