Thanks to some fellow fans (Lanag79, Kandyegirl, and mickfan) and their information on the ML forms, I've had the opportunity to read the first seven chapters of Trevor Munson's unpublished book Angel of Vengeance. Supposedly this is where the idea for Mick St. John and his fellow cohorts comes from. Trevor says that the idea for the novel came after "rereading Dracula and a Raymond Chandler novel back to back" He goes on to say that he was intrigued with the idea of creating a character that blended these two genres, and Mick Angel a.k.a. Mick St. John was born.

The few chapters that he has posted here are a wonderful read! The main character is a hell of lot darker, tormented, and seems to fight with his inner demon a lot more then what we see in the CBS version. We also find that he has a lot more past that needs redeeming for then our own beloved Mick St. John. For starters

However some things do remain the same. Mick's main path in life is still about redemption and transcendence, and rising above his nature. He keeps himself removed from the goings on around him except to go out for food and bad guys. He does take his blood by shooting up. (The novel tells us why. And we do see this mode of blood intake once in the first ep of Moonlight. From then on we only see him drink it.) The Vampires in the novel do sleep in freezers and we get more details as to why.

And Trevor's Mick is constantly reminiscing about the old days (1943-1946) and how things were better. Not just because he could taste food but the way the city looked and moved back then. He still enjoys scotch and old time jazz, and he loves the good looking dames.

Needless to say the book was a lot darker then our ML. As much as I do adore what CBS has done with the idea I still would love to see it developed in it's true form. More of a Dexter meets Angel. Of course this means it would most likely need to go on cable Well I guess I can hold out hope for the novel to get published. It also sounds like Trevor already has the idea for a second in a series. Here's keeping my fingers crossed.
