Vampire Pond

Vampire Pond
by Peter Joseph Swanson
(4/5 Stars)

Despite that it's called "Vampire" Pond, the vampire involved isn't really how we traditionally think of vampires, especially for the "Twilight" set. This isn't some suave guy in a cape or pasty teenager. The vampire is a monster without much of a personality or even a name. Instead most of the action focuses on the bumbling village nearby, which is dominated by a crumbling abbey seeking legitimacy. When a pair of gypsies arrive in the village, they begin to help the villagers rid their town of the vampire and other monsters.

Overall it's a fun read, albeit a little bit too talky. As the King said, a little less conversation, a little more action please.

That is all.
