More positive attention for my vampires

THE BRITISH FANTASY SOCIETY like WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN BLOOD



Worth Their Weight in Blood by Carole Jahme. Book review



Reviewed by Dave Brzeski
It’s not easy, these days, to put a new spin on vampires, but Carole Jahne manages it. The supernatural is dispensed with in favour of treating vampires as a genetic, evolutionary offshoot of Home Sapiens. It works very well, for the most part, and makes for a truly fascinating read. I really liked the concept that a group of altruistic vampires were working for the betterment of mankind, by trying to wipe out AIDS and other blood-related diseases.
Carole Jahne goes to a lot of trouble to work out the scientific origins of her vampires, and does an exemplary job of it. 

"may be the best vampire book I’ve read in a long time"
