I've never been much for vampire novels, hell, I wasn't much for post-apocalyptic zombies or demons either until I read Yesterday's Gone and Monstrous (by the same authors). One thing I've learned from the talent at Collective Inkwell is that not only do these guys write killer fiction, they create amazing characters. In fact, my favorite part of their stories are the characters and once again I have been captured.How do you take an old, worn out (in my opinion), shake-n-bake genre and make it new and exciting? You add some Platt & Wright (isle 3, top shelf on the seasoning rack, you can't miss it). They bring a level of fresh intensity to the genre with living characters; instead of a sparkly vampire you get...well, you should read. Let's just say it's WAY cooler than sparkles. Anyway, Available Darkness: Episode One blew my expectations out of the water. This story grabbed me by the throat and will not let me go. I fear I must read to the end in order to, hopefully--or not--, be released. So, in the interest of my sanity and my very life, I must read on.
