Format: AudioBook
5 of 5 stars
Lately the whole vampire schtick seems to be overdone. While still being a style of vampire story, this novel takes the whole notion of a vampire in a new direction. Stylistically it reminds me of the treatment "30 Days of Night" gave the genre. This is also an epic tale, and is able to bypass the pits of sluggishness that seem to plague many stories of this scope.
The audio book version is _extremely_ well performed, and the presence of multiple readers is very skillfully used to add to the dimension of the tale. This is easily the best story I've read so far this year.
