Richard Westall, Lord Byron(July 22) Polar opposite of
Dead Until Dark and about a beelyun times more profound than
Twilight. Rich, complex, totally compelling on the poignancy of death. Dark, occasionally repulsively so; not as sexual as I expected from the hype, but extremely passionate. Louis is irresistible. True literature: all the characters are vivid and multi-layered; the settings are feasts for the senses; the passion is real and enthralling.
Amazon.com review by
Patrick O'Kelley: "It is that rare work that blends a childlike fascination for the supernatural with a profound vision of the human condition." Iggziggly.
It was like a real home-cooked meal after the bland fast-food of
Dead Until Dark.
Still, that's it for me with the vampire fiction. Too much gratuitous and lingered-over killing.
Richard Westall, Lord Byron
