The Revenants

Looking for a good vampire novel ? This is one I'd recommend
Originally published in Britain in 1983, unavailable in the US, this is a gothis horror/supernatural thriller that reads as a classic, written in a style similar to horror of the 1800's, and this helps feed the atmosphere in this mysterious story.
Set in Cornwall, in the 1830's, the Victorian era, as we follow the career of John LePerronne, from his initiation into the ranks of vampirism by his ancestor, Helene. John's journey to find his Master takes him to Ireland and a small mountainside cavern. John's struggle to learn about what he has become, and his place in this world are alluring and dangerous and so much fun to read.
This is an ultimate vampire novel that will influence how you see vampires. Fans of Anne Rice, Dracula or Octavia Butlers "Fledgling" may enjoy this.
