Began with a bang, middled around in from the 60% mark and fizzled out with a wimp. For how it started, this ended up being quite disappointing. For how difficult this was to read, most of the metaphors existed in the first half and after that, it all became a meaningless acid trip. 3 stars for a wonderful first 2/3.

This bookend section is irrelevant.

So the point of the whole story is the vampire is unkillable? What is this a metaphor for?

This book suffers from being a long read that is difficult to trudge through. 3 star read at best.

I'm dreading Good Stab's final account because I'm tired of his story.

Attempting to finish this today. I'm torn on rating. Giving middling pacing in the midway point, should be a 3 star but maybe might be a 3.5 star for good horror and critique.

The lingering question at the back of my mind as I enter the second half of this book is this - Why is Good Stab relaying this confession to Reverend Beaucarne?
1 - What is the reason behind him making this confession?
2 - Why has he chosen Beaucarne as his confessor?

This last Good Stab recollection was meandering. Took me a while to get through. When the shock and gore of the violence is already baked in, where do we draw horror from? In this case, it is from how the narrator's myths and beliefs drives him to do what his enemies are doing - killing his own kind. What are the boundaries of morality as a vampire? What is a good kill vs. a bad kill if your only sustenance is blood?
