They Thirst by Robert R. McCammon

5.0

This was terrific. It was a little like discovering Salem's Lot all over again - One of the best vampires stories I've read. After decades of vampire "revisionism" and book after book providing "scientific" explanations for vampires and/or romanticizing them out of all recognition, it was almost radical to encounter a novel where the vampire was an Old World nobleman who was fundamentally evil and supernaturally empowered. No reflections, changing to bats, commanding dogs, the whole nine yards... It was a great story all around.
