Publisher's Summary

Suppose there really were vampires. Dark, stalking, destroying. They’d have to be killed, wouldn’t they? Of course they would. But what kind of fools would try to make a living at it?

In best-selling author John Steakley's vampire classic, one tightly knit band of brothers devotes itself to hunting down the monsters that infest the modern world—for a price. An exciting blend of horror and western genres, Vampire$ is a twenty-first-century Ghostbusters with an edge.

Wow! Great novel!

I was thoroughly surprised by this novel. I thought the movie would of been very similar, and while they share some similarities on the base level, this novel is quite different.


I really wish the author was alive to write a sequel. The ending was great, and while it did not leave on a cliff hanger, it left with the potential to produce many more in the Vampire$ universe.

In regards to the story, it was more than I expected and it left me wanting more. I feel it almost does a switch on who the main character is partway through the novel when it starts to focus on another slayer. The only thing I found lacking was from the vampire perspective. I wish the author would of included that as well as more backs story on them.

In regards to the writing, I only found the frequent use of "And" took a bit to get used to. I feel the author used it to instill a sense of urgency or near panic in the characters.

In regards to the narration, it was pretty good. I found the authors female voices to be terrible, but other than that the narration was great.
