Since I was helping out the author with the cover, I read GRUBS in manuscript format. And I don't normally read horror (or watch it.) However, GRUBS is such honest to goodness, campy, adult comic book B movie type fun. It's creepy, gory, edge of your seat, skin-crawlingly good. I was able to lose myself in the story despite it not being my normal genres. The author's writing style is lean, polished, and engaging. It was such a pleasure to read something without feeling the need to reach for my editor hat. As a matter of fact, I don't read anything with vampires, either, but the author's writing so impressed me I think I might try one of his other titles, like 33 A.D., one of these days.This title isn't (at this time) available yet in paperback, but if you have an eReader and take it camping (or, have a late night in the backyard around the barbecue), it would be the perfect read-aloud alternative to the usual ghost stories or creepy urban legends.NOTE: Would not recommend for 17 and under (Language,sexual situations) ( )
