4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious - an anarchist text book disguised as xian history, September 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Last Days of Christ the Vampire (Paperback)

I still read it every now and then, just for a good laugh.

I think it has an excellent thought provoking hypothesis and may well be closer to the truth than other current ideas about christ.

People complain about the writing, which is average at best, but it was never intended to be high literature.
Read it and enjoy . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars A twisted, paranoid, and entertaining view of Christianity., August 6, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: The Last Days of Christ the Vampire (Paperback)

The Last Days of Christ the Vampire is a book that is more than a little reminiscent of Robert A. Wilson's Illuminatus series. Eccarius gives a less than charitable view of Christianity and its founder, and a vision of a world run by a council of vampires that has members ranging from Aliester Crowley to Genghis Kahn. The book is a little disjointed in spots, and leaves the reader with a lot more questions than it answers, but for some that could be a recomendation in and of itself. If you enjoy paranoid conspiracy novels, I can certainly recommend this book without hesitation. If, however, you are an Anne Rice fan looking for yet another incarnation of Lestat. you would be better off looking elsewhere

This review is from: The Last Days of Christ the Vampire (Paperback)

As others below note, this is a horribly written novel with a great premise: Christianity was founded by a vampire. Makes perfect sense: isn't communion just Jesus' followers drinking his blood? With tongue in cheek, Eccarius exploits the concept pretty well, then wanders off into a confusing "noble anarchists vs. the Pope and his vampire legions" plot, draining any momentum he's built as surely as a parish priest drains an altarboy of B negative. Eccarius should sell the concept to a competent writer-- what would Dan Brown do with this??
