Book Reviews of American Gothic
Book Review: Pretty good Vampire fiction
Summary: 4 Stars
This was my first book by by Micheal Romkey. I loved the idea of the book. This book showed a "human" side of the vampire that I have not read in any books. You saw a full circle of the vampire life. Starting with a man whos life was destroyed and was taked to be a vampire. You see the madness of his revenge and "disease." And you see him return to a state of "human" while still a vampire. I enjoyed this book and think that it has a place in the library of vampire fiction.
Summary of American Gothic
Through the endless waltz of time, a man becomes a monster and a monster reclaims his humanity by saving one human soul. . . .1863
Even the opium pipe and its dark dreams isn't enough to erase the memories that haunt Nathaniel Peregrine. His home destroyed, his wife and children butchered, his world shattered by civil war-he can find no reason to protect his soul from the intoxicating evil that pursues him. Willingly he bends his neck for the beautiful demon who will take away his pain and replace it with an otherworldly power too great and terrible to imagine.
1914
Years later, growing tired of living a vampire's restless existence, Peregrine travels to the wild island of Haiti, where shadow blends easily into the exotic flora and fauna. There he meets Helen Fairweather, a woman who makes him yearn for a mortal life as he has not done for ages. The longing leads him to Dr. Lavalle, a man who may be able to give him back his soul. Once a foremost authority on diseases of the blood, the good doctor sets Peregrine on a steep descent that will end with salvation-or damnation. . . .
