One of my friends with whom I share a love of watching zombies get “double tapped”, gave me a bag of books that he had finished reading and thought I would enjoy them as much as he had. (Thanks M.I.)
They Thirst is one that I found in that “bag-o-books”, and took it to work to read during my lunch.
One thing I learned while reading this book, yes it is about vampires, was that vampires like to sleep in a coffin that has a bit of dirt in the bottom, yep that is a new one.
I thought that a blanky and pillow was all they needed between feedings, but apparently they like all the comforts of home, if they can get dirt from home that is.
Zombies are,…. well,…. stupid. Vampires on the other hand, while having absolutely no blood, have an awareness and cunning about them, go figure. I know some people wh, … well lets not go there.
Vampires can reason and can solve problems, and this ability over other “not quite alive” creatures has given the vampires a superiority complex, they actually think that they will take over the world, one city at a time.
In this book that was the plan, the Prince of Vampires was going to create a world of followers, meaning that everyone will be turned into vampires, ok, but then who will the vampires feed off of, after all, fresh blood, human blood is like top sirloin to them. The book has a not so surprising ending, but the method of overcoming the toothy vermin was interesting and quite timely.
I enjoyed this book more than some of the others from that “bag-o-books”, and I still have many more. It was a Big bag.
One more thought, authors should not be allowed to make up words like “jubbling”, really??
