Summary: THE BOOK OF COMMON DREAD
Review: I absolutely recommend the book THE BOOK OF COMMON DREAD by Brent Monahan. This book was very exciting and it kept me engrossed in the plot up until the very last page. The book was well written and the concepts were amazing. Overall, the book was very enjoyable. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this book a 9. The author, Brent Monahan, thought of things that most people would never think of. The concept of the book is not new, but he gives the authors of the vampire genre something to strive for. Brent Monahan has "raised the bar" on the vampire novel. The characters were both appealing and intriguing, and the plot really sucks you in. For example, in the prologue alone, a number of people suffer extremely violent deaths. Before the end of the book several more people are violently murdered. For the history buffs out there, there is also a bit of history intertwined into the story line. For example, the main character, Vincent DeVilbiss, was born in 1464 in Europe. If you like mysteries and new twists every couple of chapters you will enjoy reading THE BOOK OF COMMON DREAD by Brent Monahan.
