The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix

5.0

I LOVED this book. It’s one of the best horror novels I’ve read in recent memory, perfectly balancing horror and humor. I also love vampire tales, and pitting a vampire against a group of Southern women in a book club in the 90s was bound to work for me. I didn’t expect to be so disturbed by some of the scenes in this book. I had to put it down for a few minutes during one part because Hendrix tapped into my greatest fear (insect-related, *shudders*). This is a perfect horror novel for summer, and even if you don’t typically read horror, I’d still give this a try if you want a thrilling page-turner.
