Hello,
So I'm very fussy when it comes to reading, and there are few books out there that tempt me to read past the first 20 pages or so. Either I have specific tastes, or I have no idea what I want.
I'm a fan of things like the Warhammer novels (some of them), and I play some dark computer games such as Clive Barker's Jericho, Dawn of War, Warcraft etc, and I love some of the stories about mages/ultimate evil blah blah blah. Having said that, I don't like hopelessly cliche and tacky themes.
In a book I'd love to read something very dark, possibly involving summoning demons, occult themes etc, and I'm not opposed to violence. I generally don't like vampire/werewolth themes because I think they've been done to death. I've read my share of Ann Rice, and it was entertaining for a while, but I've lost interest in her books. Also, I love epic tales.
I don't know if this is too specific, or too general, but let me know. Thanks for the help
