The Recommending Librarian this week is: Matt Imrie
What are you recommending?
Morganville: The Series
What is it?
It is a web-series* based on the best-selling Morganville Vampires series by Rachel Caine
*A web-series is a series of scripted videos, generally in episodic form, released on the Internet or also by mobile or cellular phone, and part of the newly emerging medium called web television. A single instance of a web series program is called an episode or webisode. (thank you Wikipedia)
Why have you recommended it?
I had to start with something and I have found this ten episode series short and punchy enough to get the attention of several vocal non-readers that I work with and it has hooked them enough to give the books a try. I also enjoy vampire stories and as a Star Trek fan I was stoked to see Robert Picardo, the Emergency Medical Hologram from Star Trek: Voyager play a role.
It goes without saying that if you enjoy this series you should also give the books a try: The Morganville Vampires novels
