The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix
5.0
This book is a MASTERPIECE!
This book is so much more than "a vampire book". There are many kinds of bloodsuckers out there: People who are demeaning, and sap your strength, leaving you soul-tired. People who prey upon your faith or hospitality, and expect more than you can give. Sharks who swindle money from you. Systemic racism leaving you tired of struggling for equality. /Sexism/ leaving you tired of struggling for equality! The crushing fear that you are not enough. There is so much more to a life than blood in your veins, and so much more that drains a person in a day than physical exertion. This. Author. NAILED IT! What it's like to be a mother, a housewife, a female friend - the fact that we live so much of our lives in our thoughts and feelings, but they are /valid/ and /real/ - this author crushed it.
