"Nothing about a real vampire is elegant."
An ancient darkness revels in its influence over a small town.
There is no waiting for the action to begin; murder and mayhem are long term bedfellows of Gilchrist, the Derry of Massachusetts.This was everything I wanted out of Ghost Road Blues and never got, with a dash of The Shining. Fast paced, satisfying, and dark.
Occasionally too dark. I took off a star for the animal abuse. Yes, it draws a straight connection that people who hurt animals hurt people too. It’s still painful and off putting for me to read.
Small town horror story fans, this is your new gem. Four stars!
