i am mentally divergent

One of the things that always annoyed me about Christopher Pike's The Last Vampire series is that Sita, the "last vampire" was 5000 years old, from India, and yet had blonde hair and blue eyes. It's incredibly historically inaccurate and offensive to replace what would be a character of color with a blonde woman. So when the challenge came at vamp_land to cast something vampire-y, I jumped at the chance to cast The Last Vampire with more...genuine actors. ;) (And yes, I realize it is a vampire series but the best vampire books, to me, are ones with threads in reality and history)

SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST BOOK IN THE LAST VAMPIRE SERIES!

I posted this over at still my favorite place, Stranger Things and yeah, it would probably be nice to post it here.

It's a copy of Charisma Carpenter reading Immortal by Christopher Golden and Nancy Holder. It's in four parts, all mp3 files, for each side of the cassette. I didn't grab the audio myself so on the third part, there is a bit of a background noise (so music) but it's faint. I have all the software to convert the hard cassette tapes I have into mp3s so I will no doubt make a cleaner copy when I have some time.

While I love Charisma, she just can't do accents. The Giles one she tries, especially, is laughable. Again, love you CC! But stick to your normal voice. I think we all learned that from the end of Flirting with Danger. (And you CC fans know what I mean!) I still love the girl. No matter what.
