Book Reviews of The Light at the End
Book Review: A true classic vampire novel
Summary: 5 Stars
Ah, memories...THE LIGHT AT THE END was a favorite novel of mine while in college in the early 1990s, and I'm glad to see that it's back in a new edition. Skipp and Spector really hit a homerun with this gritty, streetwise vampire novel that deserves much more attention than most other vampire novels.
Even though it is explicit and gory, it is never boring; the story does not slow down, and although many refer to it as "splatterpunk" it isn't some cheapjack gorefest. If Whitley Strieber's THE HUNGER was a more upscale NYC vampire story, then THE LIGHT AT THE END is its darker, grittier counterpart.
This is an excellent book, and as a vampire novel it ranks right up there with the best of the modern vampire novels, such as I AM LEGEND, 'SALEM'S LOT, and Robert R. McCammon's classic THEY THIRST. Recommended!
