5.0 out of 5 stars truly ahead of its time, June 28, 2007

This review is from: Bloodshift (Paperback)

It is a shame that this novel is not better known, but I have to wonder how many authors were inspired by it. Back when vampire novels came in mainly two varieties, "Salem's Lot" clones and "Interview With the Vampire" clones, Reeves-Stevens dared to do something different: write an action-thriller with vampires. Secret vampire societies, a strong female protaganist, wall-to-wall action, a pseudo-scientific "viral" rationale for vampirism...Reeves-Stevens didn't come up with any of these ideas, but he combined them long before most other writers did. If you like vampires, you really owe it to yourself to read this book.

I found this book to be a great read. I picked it up because it was written by one of my favorite authors (and I got lucky with it being a vampire novel). I like the different slant he took on vampires.

gr-s puts a great twist on the vampire mythos. he puts foward a very interesting hypothesis for the origin and transmission of vampirism. a very good read, quick and tight.
