Critic reviews

“It's horror in the same way that Robert Bloch's Psycho is-horror of the soul.” ( Locus)

“Nerve shredding….Like early Ray Bradbury, Rusch has the ability to switch on a universal dark.” ( The Times of London)

Unchaste Bloodsuckers

Would you listen to Sins of the Blood again? Why?

I am glad I listened to it once - it's not the sort of book I will listen too again though.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the fact that that the story had traditional nasty vampires and the plot line was interesting. I do think the storyline could have been refined a little though, especially concerning the protagonist's employment story. Frankly I was rooting for the evil vampires during the entire book.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I was not a fan of the narration, but it wasn't horrible either.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Actually this could make a good horror movie but I don't know what the tag would be.
