Finally someone with Lord Akeldama's point of view! This intermittently follows the trials and tribulations of one of the original vampires of earth, and it is a fascinating read! It is rather short, but that's a lot better than some of those epic length tomes that really don't keep one's interest. The view is different, the characterizations are complex, and the reader's interest is held to the end and beyond.

It's surely quite particular. Almost a collection of short stories with the same main character and set during different ages. It's a union between history, fiction and myth, everything linked by an unusual escamotage: the author simulates the publication of ancient scripts translated from an enigmatic language into English.
The ideas regarding the vampires are quite original, and the origins of this race are interesting to discover.
Even though I enjoyed enough the reading, I think that the book is a bit short, without a real ending and because of the frequent changings of setting and characters it's difficult growing fond of them.
I received a free copy of the book in exchange for a review.
