Title: John Steakley's Vampire$: A Human Side to the Vampire Myth
Review: Steakley's "Vampire$" is not a book for the philosophic. Instead, it broaches the idea of the vampire as a monster. Gone are the ponderings of the more inactive protagonist (such as Louie in "Interview...") and instead we meet, and learn to care, about a group of hunters who try not to think too much about what they do! It is only through action that they all attempt to deal with situations which would drive a normal man mad. This wonderful blend of human personalities linked to the common cause, the erradication of Vampires, made for a new slant at an old genre. It is worth the read.
