I saw a rating of "1" by another reviewer...and I couldn't beleive it!
As a fan of horror fiction, (Vampire fiction specifically), I thought this book wonderful!
You have a truly nasty, evil, vampire and an un-likely hero in the ex-horror novelist turned 'handy woman.'
The story is about a 'family' of vamps, who due to the actions of one of their own are forced to move away from their current home, to escape discovery.
They then settle into a small town and by the local, derelict, movie theatre and hire a woman and her father to fix it up...but
one of the vampires has a more sinister plan for the theatre than showing film...she wants to use it to trap her evening meals.
The story is fast-paced and very enjoyable. And, most importantly, you care what happens to the characters.

i just finished reading this book called vampire blood by kathryn meyer griffith. anyone read this? (anyone ever even heard of this book?) and i have to say it was just awful. i don't quite know why i continued to read it. the plot was a standard plot. the story was not well written, the dialogue was cheesy. the most interesting characters, the two main vampires, were not explored at all, while the reader learns about the main char and her family, and these people are boring and not at all believable. the ending was predictable. and the main char's ex-husband comes back into the picture, and i know that i was supposed to root for these two to get back together and triumph over the vampires, but all i wanted was for the vampires to kill them...i mean put me out of my misery. and jeff (the ex) was such a whiney baby...i don't know what the main char. saw in him. talk about whipped...anyway, if you haven't read it...don't. trust me.

This book is the best in the entire world. I'm sad that no more will be printed. It's brillant in everyway. It's the old styled, cinema vampire, but through the eyes of a human surrounded by vampires. Nowadays it's always through the vampires eyes, which is nice. But this, this is just so much more. It's a clever story and you'll end up loving the characters. Most people can read this book, it's not too complex, as if the author wants to prove herself. The story is proof enough. IF EVER YOU WERE TO READ A BOOK, one book, in your ENTIRE LIFE. PLEASE READ THIS ONE, it's worth it. It's my #1 favorite.
