So our wild ride through the forests of the lowest parts of already low genre continues...
You know pretty well that at this point I hardly expect anything apart from a mild amusement or partial revulsion. So, what's in this book (again, take this term loosely, it was only 35 pages long)?
Hey, I've good news! If you like classical vampires you are in for a treat. Basically this is Dracula in our very explicit era! This dude can actually transform into a bat and fly in a lady's bedroom! Feeling some flashbacks? I hope so! Oh and the mesmerizing his prey! Wooohooo! We are up to something here. Basically, if Stoker could write about certain matters I bet he would let Dracula suck on something more than necks and this is what it would look like I guess. Fascination by the tyrant mixed with the lack of consent and some weird imagery. Yay!
Anyway, don't be fooled I wouldn't buy the sequel because our tragic heroine gets (SPOILER ALERT) turned into a kind of succubus by an "evil" vampire (obviously our sneaky vampire is just a lovesick puppy compared to the other one) and is given to a hungry pack of werewolves so we know what's in store for her. So I guess the next book is just another thirty pages of naked creatures and that's not what I'd like to read about. But I appreciate the sentiment of doing the story the stokerish way.
GENRE: porn just like back in 1899 :-)=
FANGS OUT: it is very traditional in a wayFANGS RETRACTING: you should know by now that it's still too weird to consider reading
