"Cult favorite [Russell] Hoban is the author of both children's books about badgers and adult books about aging horndogs. This one's about Irving Goodman, an 83-year-old Londoner who falls in love with 25-year-old Western movie star Justine Trimble. Unfortunately, Trimble died way back in the black-and-white era. A technologically gifted friend, Istvan Fallok, uses a screen capture to bring Trimble back to life, but there's a catch: she needs continual infusions of blood to keep her healthy color. Catch two: now Fallok wants the vampire cowgirl, too. It's an amusing, intelligent read, part science fiction (the way Vonnegut wrote it), part police procedural, part farce."—Booklist
