Subject: Some thoughts on "Blood Money"
I've been re-watching "Blood Money" tonight and stumbled over a sentence in
the first flashback.
Charles duChamps mentions that he has known Nick for half a century now. So
obviously he knows what Nick is. Also later Nick tells Janette that he had
trusted Charles with everything.
Yet Charles says that he feels that Nick's money is associated with a dark
secret.
Isn't being a vampire dark secret enough? Does Charles really have no idea
what being a vampire implies?
Any thoughts on the matter?
Petra.

Subject: Re: New Series
I should note that the second volume of the Shadow series is somewhat
different than the other books in either series. Different in that it is the
first book in over a decade to give me nightmares. Some of the imagery is a
little too well described.

PErhaps the dark secret is the foundation of Nick's fortune---stealing
the money from the Dauphin, and then killing him instead of returning
him for the ransom. I got the feeling that Nick is pretty ashamed of
the way he obtained his money.

Subject: Re: Some thoughts on "Blood Money"
Maybe the reference to a dark secret was because the money was gained through
lust for money and not need to feed that Nick kept it from him.
As any creature needs to sustain themselves, a logical man who listens to Nick
talking abour his quest for redemption will come to an understanding about the
human kills that Nick actually committed.
Nick can't justify that kill in any way other than greed, which he doesn't want
or can't admit to because he sees that as another sin against him... one that
can't be easily accepted because of the murder.

Or, perhaps he knows that Nick is a "reformed"
vampire, and does NOT know the source of the money. I
mean, come on, he got the money in what, the 17th
Century? Personally, I would assume that any creature
more than a couple of centuries old would have more
than a bit of money just because of compounding
interest, and especially in the case of vampires who
can 1) Hypnotize their prey (ie coerce them into
giving their money to said vamp 2) Steal from them
outright.
