I'm liveblogging this early vampire epic, ancestor to Dracula, Lestat, and Twilight, and it really is kind of fascinating. I especially like the humor that sneaks its way in, though sometimes it may just be the author's need for speed and cutural bias that brings it about.
For example, the noblemen of the Bannerworth house are all tiptoeing around the idea of a vampire, and how they must keep this notion absolutely secret, especially from the victim herself. But the servants aren't stupid, they know a vampire attack when they see one, and decide to warn all the neighbors. Plus Flora figures out it's a vampire right away, despite the infantilizing efforts of the menfolk.
