Juts finished it up the other day. Vampirisim as a deadly virus - combination medical thriller and horror. It was good to see vampires as monstrous parasites rather than sex machines for a change.

I'd loudly proclaim AMEN to that, if I wasn't a sordid little atheist.duchess of malfi wrote: It was good to see vampires as monstrous parasites rather than sex machines for a change.
Watched the blurb by Del Toro and it seems interesting. Personally I prefer vampires as creatures of the night, rather than humans with fangs and an aversion to sunlight so Del Toro's take intrigues me.

Yeah read the blurb, thought it would be great, spent some money and have regretted it ever since..
If only they'd said 'vampires' on the outside I would never have bought it.
Was so disappointed when it devolved into a vampire story, though the first few chapters were damn good.
