Even though D'Arcy occasionally mixes his vampiric metaphors and uses way, way too many exclamation marks, it's still a fun and pointed story speaking out against slavery. It's almost campy in tone, and I mostly found myself having a great time. The "rocks fall and all the Black Vampyres die" ending was a bit jarring, but hey,

Anthony Gibbons sure has weird cravings in the end

, so the story isn't over... There's still time to be haunted by a VAMPYRE!!!
