New take on the vampire mythos.
Book opens up a new take on the vampire mythos. I felt like I was voyeur watching somebody else's life. Wow. Having read other Octavia Butler books, I rank this one very high due to her rethinking the whole bite-to-survive ritual.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
