Book Review of Southern Vampires

Southern Vampires
feritgrrl avatar reviewed on + 43 more book reviews


An odd little book that was not quite what I expected. The author says something to the effect that she was given the assignemtn to come up with Southern folklore concerning vampires, but each story seems more like original fiction involving a 'vampiric' theme- meaning maybe not vampires per se, but someone with a disease like porphyria(sp?) that is treated with medication manufactured from blood. Anyhow, a bit off beat and different. I am not sure the author really carried off the 'assignment' or at least its intent, but still an interesting read.
