Reviewer:
ordered the boxed set out of idle curiousity and instantly became addicted. I’m not only reading a book a day, I’m so interested in what happens next with Eric that I’m searching ahead for a glimpse. Of course this can’t be described as serious literature – the story line is vastly more engaging than the verbiage is artful but seriously, if you’re reading vampire books, do you really care? Planning a long trip or a vacation at home? Either way, this lightweight, fun series is just thing. Got lots to do at work? Beware because you won’t want to do it.

Queens of the Stone Age, also known by the acronym QOTSA, is an American hard rock band from Palm Desert, California, United States, formed in 1997. Since its inception, the band’s line-up has included founding member Josh Homme (lead vocals, guitar), with its current line-up including longtime members Troy Van Leeuwen (guitar, pedal steel) and Joey Castillo (drums, percussion), alongside Michael Shuman (bass guitar) and Dean Fertita (keyboards, backing vocals).
Formed after the demise of Homme’s previous band, Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age developed a style of riff-oriented, heavy music which has been described by Homme as “robot rock”, stating that he “wanted to create a heavy sound based on a solid jam, and just pound it into your head. Their sound has since evolved to incorporate a variety of different styles and influences.
