Harris, author of the Opposite of Life.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Narrelle will talk about the triumphs and pitfalls of creating a fantasy universe, and how she combined fantastic characters with a real city. &amp;nbsp;Narrelle will also share the books and authors who have influenced her writing and invite readers to talk about their favourite fantasy, crime or vampire romance novel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Opposite of Life has been praised for its vivid description of Melbourne, its realistic characters, and the use of real locations alongside a shadowy subculture of modern-day vampires. &amp;nbsp;This intriguing novel involves vampires that defy the usual stereotypes and come up against Lissa, the heroine who's also a librarian!&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://catalogue.darebinlibraries.vic.gov.au/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/OPAC/BIBENQ/470417?QRY=CTIBIB%3C%20IRN(6183486)&amp;amp;QRYTEXT=The%20opposite%20of%20life" target="_blank"&gt;Reserve a copy of The Opposite of Life&lt;/a&gt; or book for this event on 1300 655 355.&lt;/p&gt;
