Voluminous Vampire Viscera . Department Nineteen by Will Hill

Department Nineteen (Department Nineteen, #1)It's been a while since I've read any vampire books. Zombies are more of my thing. Saw this book at the book store and thought the cover art was awesome, I mean, just look at it (another book I judged by the cover, and it worked, of course the back of the book and the jacket description helped). It helps to have read Bram Stoker's Dracula, or at least the graphic novel version before heading off into Department Nineteen because there are many a tie ins to the original book. (Seeing as I have accomplished both these tasks, I feel I am qualified to proceed.) Think of it as a sequel that comes 100 year later. I was honestly thoroughly entertained by the exploding vampires and guts, and it didn't hurt that you get some hang time with old Victor (aka Frankenstein) as well (gotta love old Victor) This is a great start to a promising new series and looking forward to getting my hands on book two. BTW these vampires don't glitter and make glitter babies with the main character, there is a little vampire crush in the main characters life but she's the rip your heart out type, literally. Will girls like it? Not sure, I'm not a girl, but it worked for this guy and considering my history....might sink your teeth into this one. Muuuhahahah. (too cheesy?)

  1. I'm glad you liked this book too! It was a truly amazing book. It has a mixture of the classical horror of Dracula mixed in with the Modern era.
