Review: This was interesting but weird at the same time

Set in 1799 at many times I wondered if some of the elements mentioned in the story and the dialogue were appropriate for those times.Here you have Merrick your run of the mill self-loathing vampire who is sick and tired of killing people to live even if most of them are criminals.  Then you have William your impressionable young hero.  William develops an unexpected attraction for Merrick (so this is a sort of GFY vampire story).There were two things I had issues here: the biggest one is that William is mostly OK with the idea of Merrick killing people to survive.  Well, most of the time he just chooses not to think about it to avoid it weighing on his conscience I guess.  But he is willing to become a vampire to save Merrick even if he is not 100% comfortable with the idea of even someone else killing to live.  How will he get over the hurdle when his turn comes?  That is not an answer we get here.
