(Delayed) Arc Review.

A different sort of vampire novella. A man with low ambitions decides to preform an act of chivalry leads to a life of vampirism.

Our main character adapts to this new life fairly easily and things are going smoothly , until they receive an unconventional warning.

The writing style was engaging and , although the middle dragged a little bit for me, it was a lovely but quick read.

Something to sink your teeth into

  Perspective is a novella written by Kevin Kennedy and first appears in the anthology, Creatures of the Night; vicious vampire tales.

 A man with very little ambition, crosses paths with a female one night outside the gym. It is hinted that she is a vampire which lacks the blood off his face after he is beaten up by her ex-boyfriend and will not enter his apartment unless invited.

  A relationship forms and when her fangs pierce his neck he immediately becomes a vampire.

  Vampires are unaffected by the sun and they don't turn into bats.  They keep the same urges they have when humans, just that their fangs grow large when in danger and they not only have to drink blood, but water as well.

  They meet a pair of female werewolves named Elena and Isla, the origin story is at the end of this novella, to battle a horde of demons led by Layzamon, King of the Underlands.

  It is certainly an action packed tale, yet the battle with the demons seemed to me like a video game.  The Hills Have Eyes and the remakes are mentioned, which happen to be some of my favorite films.  One of my favorite scenes are the descriptions of the werewolves when they transform.

There are many types of monsters. Not all of them are bad. Sometimes, they are more human than a human is.,They show their humanity differently.
