Vampire Lover is a tantalizing and rich read

Ever thought vampires could actually have compassion? After reading Vampire Lover, one may reconsider. Vampire Lover, through its wit, suspense and gore, gives us a sense of how becoming a vampire can accentuate the traits a charater had prior to the transformation into the "undead." In its clash or harmony among the four main characters (Vera, Bone, Harry/Harriet and Fibs), we're shown that he who appears to be ugly or horrific may turn out to be angelic and that she who appears to be weak may actually be quite powerful, whether in the sense of heroism or evil. The rich interplay and unfoldment of drama and suspense all lead to a grand finale that made this book impossible to put down. Vampire Lover is a wonderful blend of dark humor, humanity and sheer horror.

Vampire Lover Rocked

This book was great. It had the right blend of genre you would want. It starts out with the main characters not knowing each other even exists. Then by the end, everyone has interacted one way or another. Leading up to a great finale. This is my take on them: Vera: A non-physically strong woman. And great character Bone (Gary): He's a troubled soul with a heart of gold. Little Fibs: Reminds me of a lot of girls I've dated. Great to know at first. But a real pain in the ***/hellraiser once you know what she's all about. Harry: A vampire with rules. They're they're the best kind. Leave no traces. Harriet: In the wrong place at the wrong time...you'll see. I really like the book. It was great. And the pictures would awesome. Added to the flavor of the book.

Truly Horrific, Bold, Libidinous, Intriguing.

Zoon's "Vampire Lover" is an excellent read. While not an avid reader of the Horror genre, I found the setting fascinating, the characters well-rounded, and the language smooth and compulsively readable. I would definitely recommend this book. And the author's impressive paintings interspersed throughout the text are a rare indulgence.

Better than the Exorist

My husband, Tim, bought this book before leaving to go to Iraq. But he forgot to take it with him, and one night I started reading it and I didn't want to put it down. Just like the time I read the Exorcist, when I got to the scary parts I couldn't stop reading. The scary parts start in the beginning with Harry and Harriet and go right to the end with the the two heroes. It takes place in an ocean amusement park that is closed for the winter, and pretty soon all hell breaks out for everybody. I use to like to walk on the beach at night, but not anymore. The story seemed real like Interview with a Vampire (I only saw the movie). I sometimes wonders if there isn't some truth in vampires. Anyway I sent it to my husband to read I hope he likes it as much as I did. I would tell anyone to buy it . Alison Kellie

No Bone about it

I'm a major vampire fan, I became hooked on the genre when I was 12 and read Brahm Stoker's Dracula, and the hook was set with Hammer's Vampires - 46 years later and still dangling. Mostly though I'd been totally disappointed until Anne Rice, and then, well let's just say some things need to just die. Susan Zoon has revived the Vampire, she's removed the stake and has let it loose in a very modern tale. This is a vampire's story of horror, greed, lust, blood, gore, love - yes even love. Go away if you're looking for the flowery romanticism of Lestat or the Count, you won't find it here. Her fantastic illustrations alone will tell you that we're not dealing with a spin off of the aforementioned toothless vampires. The characters are all very real, the location perfect and the surrounding events provide the atmosphere to tell such a tale. Zoon's details read like a film that plays in your head. VL is about the very nature of good and evil, especially the personification of evil when the earthly chains are removed, and even evil's struggle with itself. It's them against us, and right now the score is tied. Jerry Wennerstrom
