Synopsis:
Vampires. Always hungry. Always searching for blood.
This collection of short stories will take you on an emotional rollercoaster through time with ten dark tales of fangs and flesh. You’ll meet the original vampire circa 1000 BC, feel the painful transition from human to undead, walk in the shoes of a vampire hunter and even listen in on a conspiracy theory podcast. Finally, you'll get a glimpse of a horrifying future with humans on the verge of extinction.
Each of these stories looks at the world’s most popular supernatural creature through a different lens exploring terror, love, pain, life, and death.
Review:
"Listen up, and gather round
While you're here, don't make a sound
I have a lesson, that I must share."
Starting from the time before Christ, in Jerusalem, the year is 969 BC and ending in the future in an Underground City, the year is 2115, we are taken on a journey from the beginnning of the birth of vampires through their many seasons of life and times. The vampires of old and the emergence of how they have adapted and changed over time for their ultimate survival.
Stories from ancient times to modern day to the future. Each one connecting that gives us a cohesive experience from beginning to end. Each one unique as the vampires evolve into more than just creatures of the night.
The world building is creative and easy to delve into the imaginative mind. There are many well developed characters alongside all the hungry, blood thristy, vamps. Many of the stories evoke emotions that creates an empathy for the suffering and pain of the vampires and humans, alike.
I enjoyed all the stories as each one connected, and the creativity as they opened into the future. This is a tribute to the vampire mythos!
