This is a novel for people who love vampires.  It's well written and acts more as a guide book than an actual story, but it still draws the reader in and keeps his/her attention.  Bektamun, a 3000 year old vampire, goes through the many myths and lore that exists about vampires and debunks some, verifies others, and sheds light on some the reader probably hasn't ever thought to ask.This is written almost like a conversational journal where Bektamun tells her life story, including testimony from her fellow vampires, though not all of them are as excited to share their stories and knowledge with us humans.  It's not a terribly long read, and it definitely made me think about all the different things I've heard about vampires over the years, which was fun.  Some of the revelations are extremely humorous, while others are more down to earth.  Overall, it was an enjoyable read and if you're looking for something interesting and quick to read as Halloween approaches, I suggest checking out this story.(Please note: I use the star rating system of Goodreads, which is different from Amazon.  My overall personal rating is that I liked it.)
