Writer of vampire stories and science fiction. First novel, "Revenants Abroad", available now at Amazon. If you like a vampire you can go out drinking with and still respect yourself in the morning, I think you'd like Andrej.

While I’m not personally a fan of “Catcher”, I do really admire what he accomplished with it. To think that over fifty years later, it’s still “the” book for so many teens. That’s pretty remarkable.
I’m pretty sure I hated it when I first read it, and while it’s not a book I would revisit it was an extraordinary accomplishment for 1957. I mostly remember Holden talking sarcastically about the prostitute, “Ol’ Sunny.”

RIP.
