Dracula, Motherf**ker! by Alex de Campi
3.0
For something picked up purely on a whim, not bad at all!
”Blood keeps you young & beautiful, darling.
Drink.”
I loved the use of color and typography in this. Each scene felt surreal in its form which is great when it’s a story detailing vampires. It heightens the Weirdness.
I really wish this had been longer. Something about the pacing made me wish for more “down time” instead of the quick hops from one main point to the next. It all rises and falls so quickly that I was left like “well, that’s over now,” by the end. We don’t learn much about our news paparazzo main character, Quincy! Why is he in post-mortem photography as his specialty? How did he develop his relationship with the cops? All these questions and more, never answered.
The trio of vamp ex-wives were badass tho.
