5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific book! I loved it., February 2, 1999

By A Customer

Charles Gabriel was more than human. He was vampire. After being entombed within the sunken ship, Titanic, for almost a century, a film crew unknowingly releases him. Being so long without blood, the Hunger took over.

Charles comes to himself while in a mental hospital in South Carolina. His beautiful psychiatrist is the only one who may have a chance of helping him. Guilt for all he had done during the Hunger's possession of him, his mind has blocked it all out. He no longer even knows who he is. But he does know what. He meets another he thinks is like himself. However, she turns out to be insane and wants him to make her immortal. During it all, the husband of one of the women on the ship during the Hungar is hunting him.

***Beware! This one is extremely gory. But I loved it! Michael Romkey has just made another fan in me. This book would make one terrific movie, if they did not change a thing.***

4.0 out of 5 stars What a good book!, November 10, 2000

By	Scott Shirley (Rochester, NY USA) - See all my reviews

Vampire Hunter is wonderful work of vampire fiction! Charles is a wonderful char of what a vampire should be. Yes he is a vampire, and he has killed, but he feels remorse and shame for what he has done.

When a research team is making a docoumtary on the Titanic, they release Charles (the vampire) from his watery grave. When they do that, nobody can survive. The problem is that one of the people Charles kills, the womans husband is hell bent on revenge to find him, and rid the world of a vampire. I don't want to give to much away, but trust me when I say this is a good read.

The Characters. Charles the vampire. What a great char. He's smart, savvy everything a "Gentleman" should be. It was a hoot to see how Charles has to adapt to a "modern woman". How they talk and how they dress.

Desiree. This girl is prue evil. She wants to show Charles how evil she is, but has no idea what it's like to be a real vampire. Some of the things she does is horrible. She provides some wonderful tension for Charles.

Richard. He is bent on revenge b/c Charles kills his wife. There are some interesting symbolic qualites that Richard has that can be seen with Ahab from Moby Dick. He's more than willing to work outside of the law to meet his objectives.

Over all this book is pretty good. I do admit that it may start off a bit slow, but as the story moves on, it get's more interesting. I highly suggest Romkey's book, I, Vampire. Vampire Hunter will not disappoint those of you who like vampire fiction. If you read this book, you won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Michael Romkey Delivers A Ten Star Novel, March 21, 2000

By	Ciara (USA) - See all my reviews

Michael Romkey brings a fresh, exciting voice to the world of Vampire novels. Vampire Hunter is one of his finest. I was hooked at first sight by the cover, then by his written word that kept me reading until the very end. Vampire Hunter is not a book to be missed. If you love Vampire novels that are not written like a million others out there, then Michael Delivers a unique read!
