Cry Little Sister

Our narrator, a vampire, tells his tale of trying to turn a young woman he falls for...

Before and as he begins to stalk Lesley, he tells us all about how vampires really are. The author crafts his own version of the familiar creature, just as he did with zombies in his novel. I won't go much into myself, I'll only bring up that all the vampires get their own unique power along with the common ones, and the narrator's is that he can see, erase, and restore the memories of others at will because it's important to the plot. It also allows the author to get away with a lot of exposition, but he's quite good at that so I'll allow it.

The narrator's use of this power is quite horrific, he can utterly destroy lives with it at ease and seems to enjoy it. He is a great and unsettling character who fully accepts his dark life. Lesley, the girl he wishes to embrace, is quite the opposite, loving and full of compassion for others.

As he completely upends her life in an attempt to break her and force her into his arms, he may end up with more than he bargains for...

More great world building and characters from the author. His take on vampires is unique and the story, mostly built on the main character's inner dialogue gives you an uncomfortable look at a rather evil mind.
