Opening in the early Victorian period, The Revenants follows the unhappy career of John LePerrowne from his initiation into the ranks of vampiredom by his alluring undead ancestor, Helene, through to modern times and his encounter with the ultimate force of evil. He's full of existential angst, pondering the meaning of life, death & a disaffected immortality. The ending didn't quite work for me, but I have the original 1983 edition which was later revised and (I assume from the page count) expanded, so the later edition may end somewhat differently. I enjoyed rereading it enough to want to track down the updated version and find out. A Gothically respectable 4.5 🌟 ( )
