“He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee.”

  BookLove is a journal kept by myself tracking the books I read and my opinions of them. Some books I buy, some books are given to me by friends and strangers, some books are assigned to me by online review sites I freelance for. Some of these books I DO get for free but the only thing free books get from me is a higher priority on my reading list. Giving me a free books is NO guarantee of a positive review.

  I do not return books to those who sent them. I keep those I want to reread and those that I don't I either delete (if they are in electronic form), or I donate to the Louisville Free Public Library.

  If it concerns you, please be aware of these practices before you either follow my reviews or solicit me for a review.

The Vampire Tapestry is a very different kind of vampire novel. Charnas’ vampire, Edward Weyland, is not at all supernatural.  In fact, he isn’t even likable. The first two sections of the book hammer this home. Over and over, readers are told what Edward Weyland is like through the eyes of those who expose him. The fourth and fifth sections finally get inside Weyland’s head, but he certainly doesn’t come across as a sympathetic character. Rather, we see a superior being who holds all of humanity in contempt…
