Title: A NEAT VAMPIRE TALE----A SURPRISE
Review: One of the best modern vampire stories!I read Whitten's Progeny of the Adder in the 1970's at the time that "Night Stalker" came out. A modern vampire in a major city! Sound familiar? Whitten beat them to the punch as his book was first published in the 1960's.It is a good quick read with memorable scenes. But what is more is that it is set in Washington, D.C. in the late 1960's. It is a time in D.C. when hookers ruled 14th street and an interesting look backward at a Washington of yesterday. And amid the usual crime of D.C. there is a vampire killing people. Our hero is a DC cop who gradually learns that he is up against something unusual.I'd like to see a hardback reprint of this story. I do not know if Whitten is still around but who ever owns the copyright on this book is missing out on something good. Get yourself a copy and don't miss out on a good vampire tale.
