    I'm disapointed that he didn't win the best novel category. I'm a huge fan of his Laundry books ( think HP Lovecraft + Dilbert in a spy novel ).

    It was explained with plenty of hard science fiction - a human subspecies missing the ability to produce a key biological compound, leading to a host of other adaptations to allow the vampires to successfully hunt regular humans, including different brain wiring, hibernation ability, and an unfortunate mental glitch having to do with right angles, which lead to them going extinct way before modern times. They were then brought back through some genetic archeology work.

    You're not thinking at all, it was about the Spanish civil war, not WW2.
    I'm not sure what movie you were watching, but it was "about" the trauma women (or at least some of them) go through when losing their virginity. The whole Spanish civil war + mythical beings thing was there to make you think it was about something else.

    Or did you miss the giant representation of the female reproductive system on the movie poster?

    Although I can understand how the point might be lost on the slashdot crowd.
