The Suicide Motor Club

I love this writer. I think he's amazing. His prose is usually gorgeous. But this time, I felt like he was dialing it in. It's not a bad story, just not quite up to par with the other things I've read. Basically, it's the late 60s, with vampires, mayhem, muscle cars, and a vengeful nun. The characters weren't as well drawn as characters in his other novels. The plot was there, but the emotion wasn't. And whilst I liked Clayton, the good vampire, I didn't like him as much as I should have. There is set-up for a sequel which, of course, I'll read. But I hope it will be more like ‘The Lesser Dead,' which is amazing.
