Ugh Vampires

I’m not usually a fan of vampire stories but I’m a big fan of McCammon so I thought I’d give this one a try. I’m still not a fan of vampire books, but this one was well-written. It had all the classics: a priest, some stakes, and lots of fangs. I can’t say there was much spectacular about it, but if vampires are up your alley, this blood-sucker book is one of the better ones that I have read.

Vampires on the Rampage!

Forget Anne Rice and her wimpy "Interview With a Vampire" series, here is a REAL vampire saga. The undead horde is loose in L.A. and Hellbent on taking over the entire city. And when an epic dust storm enshrouds the city, their time has come. McCammon has created a fast-paced nerve tingling story that along with Stephen King's "Night Shift" and Skipp and Spector's "The Light at the End" is among the best of the modern graphic vampire stories. But be forewarned, this stuff isn't for the faint of heart.

I was scared for my life

After I graduated college, I swore I would not read another book again. But on a flight to Portland, I picked up a copy of " THEY THIRST". I loved it. The way Mr. McMammon started the book and the way he progressed with the theme really impressed me. He made me feel that I was a character in the story. And the way Solange fogged the window was classic. After reading this book, I immediately bought and read all of Mr McCammon's books. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

The best vampire story I know of.

I have read a lot of horror books in my life and have never read anything that comes close to being as scary as this book; I wouldn't even read it after dark, only during the day! The characters are so finely described that they seem to spring into life right off the pages. The story itself is so plausible that I couldn't imagine it wasn't really true and happening now. I sincerely hope they don't make a movie from this book because I have seen "Hollywood" butcher so many other great stories I know they will never get this one right. If the reason you read horror is to get scared then you must read "They Thirst".

This is the absolute best vampire book I have ever read !!!!

Robert McCammon really outdid himself this time ! I rate this one up there with "Salem's Lot" by Stephen King. In fact, I think it may be a tie. This is one book I would love to see made into a movie. Could be really scary !
