My Swordhand is Singing by Marcus Sedgwick

2.0

A pretty scary book, if you find zombies frightening. Zombies? Didn't I put this book on my Vampires shelf? Good catch, friend. The thing is, though this book is technically about vampires (or, really, the beginnings of the vampire mythology), said vampires act more like zombies. They don't talk much, or think much, or seduce anybody with their preternatural good looks. They crawl out of their graves all bloated and gross and kill a lot of people.

So if you're into the typical vampire fare, this probably isn't going to do it for you. This is more the book for someone who wants to be spooked.
