Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf. You might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. Go to Carole's blog and add your blog post link in to join in the fun! Hosted by Carole at https://carolesrandomlife.blogspot.co.uk/
This seems like a fun feature and I have been planning to take part since Carole launched this so at last, here we go! I have a TON of unread books to choose from in various genres and I'm looking forward to sharing some of them with everybody.
You don't just kill vampires for the money, you do it for the satisfaction. You do it because somebody has to. You do it no matter what it does to you. And you drink'a lot. Some jobs just suck. This one bites.
But nobody does it better than Jack Crow, the leader of VAMPIRE$ Inc. His crack team of hunters takes down the blood suckers with a lethal combination of cojones and crossbows.
After members of Jack's team are ambushed and slaughtered; however, the survivors need to rethink their strategy. With a new recruit from the Vatican? A priest who's not afraid to wield a stake'and a sharpshooter loaded up with silver bullets, it's payback time. The only problem is that the vampires have no intention of going down easy. They have their own hit list, and Jack Crow's name is scrawled in blood right at the top.
This is the book that was made into the film John Carpenter's Vampires. I loved the film and have had this book sitting on my book shelf since January 2011, which is pretty shocking! I really do need to get this read!!!
Well, this looks intriguing! Looking forward to your review.

If it is as good as the film then I'll be happy! Still, it could be months before I get the chance to read it.
DeleteWhen I saw the cover and title, I wondered if it was related to the movies. I really enjoyed that one a lot. The sequels lacked some things but even they weren't too bad> Hope you get to this soon!
ReplyDeleteI did see the sequel with Jon Bon Jovi. It was ok but nothing special. I loved the original as I'm a huge James Woods fan!
DeleteI didn't even know that movie was a book first. Hope the book is just as good! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping the book is a good read! It's been on my bookshelves forever!
DeleteOoh vamps! And this looks awesome! I need to get this. I thought it looked familiar- I've never seen Carpenter's adaptation
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the film as it was a bit different. I liked the idea of the Church supporting and funding the killing of vampires, and I'm a James Woods fan!
DeleteI didn't know that movie came from this book. I love that movie.
ReplyDeleteI think I stumbled across the book in a charity shop or something. I hope it's a decent read. I might put this on my Autumn Reading List!
DeleteSounds like a good bet for you, since you enjoyed the film.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!
DeleteI thought this one sounded familiar so it must be from the film. So many good books on our shelves!
ReplyDeleteToo many books and not enough time to read Katherine!
DeleteI don't think that I have seen that movie. This is a little bit of a different take on vampires. I can't wait to see what you think of it!
ReplyDeleteIt was different from the usual vampire films and I really enjoyed it. The music was good too!
DeleteI love the film too. Watched it a bunch of times. And I'd love to read the book. What a killer cover!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember trying the author before but I did dabble a bit in this kind of horror many years back so who knows! My memory is so bad!
