I'm not familiar with Byron's work and this is the first piece of fiction I've read about the author. The tortured element is just part of the the horrible existence of immortality for this piece. When I say tortured I don't mean innocent vampires trying to play nice, they are cruel and matter of fact in this book. Not an amazing piece of literature, but still a good piece of work for someone wanting a different sort of tortured vampire story. How truly awful it would be to live an existence as they did. There were a lot of changes to the classic vampire story here but I don't wish to say them as that would spoil the surprise of the story as Byron himself finds out the true horror of being undead.īyron by himself was an okay sort pre-vamp, but due to his nature and just him in general he's not the greatest type of person. I wish it would have worked out the other way though without misunderstanding. I was bitterly disappointed and aggrieved by something that happened when Bryon was made Vampire, but was happy the author resolved this a bit in the end with a surprise visit. While this can grow annoying, at least the life led was interesting. The entire book is a narrative of a past life and history. It's truly a gothic story, very similar I'm sure to Anne Rices work. After reading it, I unclicked the horror box and selected gothic. What a bizarre book! I had it marked as horror while on my tbr shelf.
