Flavoring the hard-boiled detective story with a taste of the supernatural, this is the first book in the highly entertaining Vampire Files series.
"I've always had a weak spot for strange ladies. One very beautiful girl had even warned me that she was—get this—a vampire. But did I listen? No.
"Before you know it, I'm being chased by an ugly thug with a gun, and a bullet blasts its way through my back, and—believe it or not—nothing happened. I survived! How? You guessed it. I, Jack Fleming, ace reporter, have been transformed into a vampire.
"Which has its advantages. You never die, you never grow old, you sleep all day...and best of all, you can hunt down your own murderer."
Being turned into a vampire takes some getting used to, and when an astute private investigator spots Jack during his transition period, he arranges a meeting and recruits him. Working together, they take on the criminal world and set out to catch Jack's killer.
I’ve been meaning to get to this for years, and I’m glad I took it for a spin. The reader, Barrett Whitener, was quite good, with the exception of the English accent he did for Escott. I didn’t have to speed it up much to get the flow I wanted.
This is a fun take on vampires, and I’m up for reading another. I love the buddy cop vibe Fleming has with Escott, the tough guy talk from the 30’s setting, and the neat powers Fleming has. For a vampire, he’s a pretty good egg. ( )
written for the time period after the depression, a detective novel with a vamp twist. Not you typical Vamp book. It reads like the ol' gum shoe books, interesting and cunfusing because of the different type of living/speech then. The characters draw you into the story well and carry it well. ( )
Throughout the whole vast, shadowy world of ghosts and demons there is no figure so terrible, no figure so dreadful and abhorred, yet dight with such fearful fascination, as the vampire, who is himself neither ghost nor demon, but yet who partakes the dark natures and possesses the mysterious and terrible qualities of both. - Montague Summers The Vampire: His Kith and Kin
The car was doing at least forty when the right front fender smashed against my left hip and sent me spinning off the road to flop bonelessly into a mass of thick, windblown grass.
