Title: Get It Secondhand
Product review: I ended up buying this book at a used bookstore for $$$... dollars. That's all I would recommend paying for this. This is just another first-person tale that falls short of the two genres that it aims for. First, it aims for the "ancient vampire's lament" style with the character of Ricari, who isn't developed nearly enough. Secondly, it falls short of the Poppy Z. Brite "vampires-as-trendy-young-cyberpunk-hipsters" style with the characters Daniel and Lovely. It has a distinctly "Mary Sue"-ish quality to it. For a book that combines both genres and yet hits the mark, I'd reccommend "The Time of Feasting" by Mick Farren. And of course, if you like vampire fiction, you can't go wrong with "Lost Souls" by Poppy Z. Brite.
