by William Hill (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Wreythville's cemetery had rested quietly under South Holston Lake, but now the receding waters exposed an island of graves. And as the tombstones emerged, so did the unstaked dead that had been buried beneath them. Freed, the ancient breed of vampires arose with a frightful new power, seeking vengeance. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars To sum it up in one word... AWESOME!!!, January 30, 2001

This review is from: Dawn Of The Vampire (Paperback)

Hill's outstanding use of diction breathes life into his characters! The way he describes them and their feelings have you believing that you actually know them personally and understand the way they feel. He brings your imagination to life with "Dawn of the Vampire", painting a detailed picture of the scenery in your mind's eye. He grips your attention and continues to hold onto it tightly with both hands not letting go until the novel is completed. Unable to put the book down I was drained when I finished it, but only because it takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster, touching on every feeling one can have, including fear,happiness and even love! This book has inspired me to read other works from William Hill, as well as pray that a "Dawn of the Vampire" sequel is written by Hill. In my opinion, it would make one heck of a movie. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes the horror genre. Well done William Hill, Bravo!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought the book was excellent, October 21, 1998

By	Eddie Williams ([e-mail]) (Kingsport, Tn.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dawn Of The Vampire (Paperback)

Living in the Tri-cities area of East Tn. it was amazing to find a book actually set here. Mr. Hill is very vivid in his description of the Appalachian Mountains and South Holston Lake; and having grown up in both I can honestly say that it was hard to venture out after dark for a while after reading his book.

The characters really come alive. Mr. Hill does a great job of bringing out the little details that make an image form in your head. All and all I'd have to recommend the book to anyone who enjoys the creatures of the dark and secretly wishes they could join them.
