Johnnie as a character is engaging. He is an adopted son of a Dracula, who takes Johnnie under his wing because the Dracula's wife was the one killed Johnnie's biological parents. All his life, Johnnie struggles to find a place to belong -- abnormals sneer at him, normals afraid of his family's reputation. I enjoy reading his journey of meeting friends who don't care about who he is -- the people in the bar, Bremen, that Johnnie ends up buying as a silent partner to the barman, Peyton Blue (another cast off, a lone wolf). It's wonderful to read how Johnnie finally opens up and sees how important he is to his Dracula's father. a b "Hot Dance/Electronic Digital Songs". Billboard. Vol.131, no.45. October 9, 2010.

I think it needs one more round of copy edits since there were a few typos/missing words, but overall, I thought it was a great, addicting read, and I think Derr did an excellent job of balancing the story, the mystery, the characters, and the love.

Intrigued now, though he knew he should be frightened or at least angry, he gave the next spoken line of the poem. "It would seem your words/Bode neither of us any good." There were a couple of things that I didn't really like. First of all, later in the book, when everything seems to fall apart, Johnnie becomes sort of whiny, more like an adolescent drama queen than a man. I also feel, after the big revelation about Johnnie's love interest, there was too much sappiness in the middle of moments where action was required. This is a pet-peeve of mine, I admit. Anyway, this made me enjoy the story a little less because it took me outside of it, I can see though why many readers prefer this book to the first. The romance was subtle and I really liked the intrigue of Eros (the mystery lover who would only come to Johnnie with the cover of darkness). I didn't like Eros at all until I started suspecting who he really was. Then I fell in love with him, too! I loved the sexual tension and childish banter between Johnnie and "the love interest". It was cute. The story is mostly a paranormal mystery, so don't expect a hot and heavy romance because it has very little steam. Gaga performed "Dance in the Dark" as the opening song of The Monster Ball Tour (2009–2011). During the original 2009 leg of the tour, the show began as Gaga appeared behind a giant, green laser-lit video screen featuring scrim lights, in a futuristic silver jeweled jumpsuit with bulbs on it.

Johnnie was orphaned at the age of nine when his parents were killed by a blood-crazed vampire. The husband of the murdering vampire took pity on Johnnie, adopted him, and lovingly raised him as his son. As the human son of the Dracula Desrosiers, Johnnie led a life of privilege but always felt like an outsider living in the vampire world. Most of the material in this book is from three previous collections of my work, now out of print--Afterimages (1977), Going to the Dance (1982), and Sight Lines (1987). All the pieces were selected by Robert Cornfield, who also chose the format. For his initiative and judgment, and for his generous devotion to every phase of this book, I extend loving thanks.

As I said then, we live in hard times for critics. When I joined The New Yorker, the magazine was one of the loftiest critical platforms in the country, and I am enduringly grateful for the standards set by my colleagues in their writings about the arts--Pauline Kael mainly, and Andrew Porter and Harold Rosenberg and Whitney Balliett. There weren't as many cultural constraints on the critic as there are now, although I can recall even then having to defend in many a seminar or panel discussion the right of the critic to be "judgmental" in a democracy. a b "Lescharts.com – Lady Gaga – 'Dance in the Dark' " (in French).

While I adored the first, with Chris and all his collaborators, and liked a lot the third, with the brave Devlin and his sweet draugr Midnight, I was truly obsessed with Johnnie. Maybe because he is weak, but powerful, or maybe because he is lonely and seeking the love of his family. Or his rituals of dressing (love them all, each one described perfectly). I don't know exactly what, or if there is just ONE thing that made me love him so much... I think it's all... his weakness... and the most strong character of the series IMO.
