The vampire tale I didn't know I needed. I adored the vivid, descriptive writing and the pace of reading- it was easy to get through in one sitting and I couldn't put it down. While it's short and the ending a bit anti-climactic, I appreciate how the ideas of it take on a life of their own that can extend far beyond this.
