    In his series, The Last Vampire, a character named Seymour kind of portrays Pike's life. He's an author who writes horror/romance stories, and he loves being a writer, and he enjoys the money and the excitement of it all, but he's never made a public appearance, or has he ever used his real name in publishing his books. I think Pike is trying to express himself through Seymour, in a way of explaining himself to his audience. He's got one sexy mind, and I'd love to meet him.

    I am a hardcore Christopher Pike fan starting something like 20 years ago, and I almost fell over when you thought you were actually going to see him! I was bouncing up and down in my seat with a stupid smile on my face- I'm glad nobody could see me. I felt your disappointment too when he wasn't at the panel. I've always been frustrated with how little I'm able to find out about him. The interviews with the people you did find were all people I was totally on the same page with too. I don't per

    Christopher Pike was overshadowed by R.L. Stine. He was highly underrated and my favorite author.

    He was so underrated. I read his books a lot more than i did R.L Stines. I loved Spellbound and The Final Friends Series.

    Remember Me and The Starlight Crystal are my favourites...he skyrocketed me into spiritualism. He wrote about about EVERYTHING. Also - I remember reading every book was SO exciting, so NOTHING was like the back cover said. It became like tearing opening a present every single time. Thank you, Captain Pike.

    I have read Christopher Pike's book throughout my adolescence! The only thing I am sad about is that I see none of his books turning into movies. These are masterpieces. And each one of them should be made into a movie. Especially the last Vampire series should be made into an adult movie. It will be an instant hit.

    @arisistance1006 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I waited with bated breath for the cold one 2 and a prequel to season of passage. My favorite books of all time. I loved his adult books but they’re written just like his YA, quite sophisticated and deep.

    So nice knowing that I'm not the only one that grew up with Mr. Pike. Im 38 and still love to go back and reread his books. The Last Vampire is definitely my favorite, love the series and was pretty stoked when I found out recently he wrote 3 more books in the series. The Midnight Club series on Netflix has been pleasantly surprising in how well its made, didn't even know about it until I saw it on Netflix 3 nights ago

    Read so many of his books in high school :) (Close to 20 in total). My first Pike book was The Last Vampire, which I read at about 12 or 13...which is no doubt far too young for that series lol. Pike's books never fail to scare and surprise me.

  • @MarkRForum

    This is a nice documentary. I remember joining a fan site back in the day. The Midnight Club. I picked the name Mark Forum. I even self-published a novel under that pen name. In short to say Christopher Pike really affected me then, and I guess now.

    @AmyaSky 11 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    My first Christopher Pike book was Remember Me and that drew me in and then I read more. My favourite Christopher Pike series is The Last Vampire and it is absolutely amazing. All his books have complex and fascinating background information, like about the characters and the whole plot. I love ALL his books and he is definitely my favourite author. :)

    One of the only good things I have to say about Twilight is that I think it really helped get the Last Vampire novels back out there, because I thought I'd never find the sequels and suddenly...
    So good to see Pike's books getting attention again, though. I've read Bury Me Deep alone about 50 times.

    My friend introduced me to these novels when I was in my sophomore year of high school so like 2011ish and this was beyond the craze over his novels in the 80’s and 90’s, but the few books I read are my favorite to this day and the only way you can buy the older ones (as far as I can tell) is through second hand shops, but I love them soo much!

    I to am a really big Pike fan... It's frustrating that he never does book signings or interviews. He does have a screen name though. CPike2 on AOL. I've had some really good conversations with him through out the years(many of them saved cause i'm a dork like that) so I encourage you to message him if you see him on. He probably wont respond because he's really busy, but keep trying, keep bugging him. He owes us a convo every now and then ;)
