Review: Refreshingly old world take on vampires.
Rating: 5 out of 5

Exceptionally well done piece of horror here.  The mounting horror of Thomas's present pieced together with his flashbacks to the past make this a delightfully disjointed story with definite shades of Edgar Allen Poe.  Normally vampire stories focus on the actions of the vampire, but this one takes a very different track by instead focusing on the way Thomas's sense of what is and isn't real tears apart around him.  The vampire and its misleading glamour are well and truly maintained in this story with the added factor that it is hard to tell whether or not vampires are, themselves, inherently evil or if they're just simply...different.  The implication is that they're essentially inimical to humanity but the uncertainty is yet another thing to add in the feather of this author's cap.  The story is tightly developed with no stand out grammatical or word-usage errors.  It is technically well-written even while it maintains the atmosphere of degradation and madness.
