IMPURE: RESURRECTION Certainly Ranks Up There as a Vampire Novel of the Highest Order
Why? Because this self-published golden nugget, while still darkly chilling and even philosophical resembles something like Lord of the Rings: with fangs. And not of the giant spider kind or goblin/orc species.
You see, anything gothic involving vampires still held onto that sense of realism. It was a time of the dark ages. Steeped in Christianity. Monks. Vampire hunters. Here in RESURRECTION, though, a necromancer by the name of Koristad Altessor (loved the name) teams up with Peril, a fresh "lightwielder" (think cleric, or priest) to hunt down a vicious vampire responsible for murdering Koristad's entire family. Everything here -- is total fantasy, rich for the imagination.
Pretty cool. Darkness massacred darkness, and vengeance upon the former brought on by the latter. And the latter gets some much-needed assistance from someone who is supposed to be an enemy, too! (After all, you don't expect a necromancer to do any business with a "lightwielder," right?)
Needless to Say, No One Would Hear About This Book for Obvious Reasons
Self-published. But with passion. And the stories are absolutely rich. You won't find any vampire novels like this capable of taking the mythos and pulling it into a complete classic fantasy setting.
