A vampire walks into a bar…… Sounds like the opening to a joke, doesn’t it? But Coffin Moon is no joke! It reads like a ’70s noir horror film, and I mean that in the best way possible! Coffin Moon is gripping, dark, mesmerizing, gritty, and moody. I would go so far as to say, it’s a bloody good book! If you enjoy a good vampire book, this is the book for you. But be warned, these are not Twilight vampires. These ones are violent, scary, dark, and horrific.
It’s 1975 and Duane Minor is back home and working as a bartender after a tour in Vietnam. His marriage to Heidi is rocky, and he is trying his best to take care of his thirteen-year-old niece, Julia. But then a vampire walked into the bar where he works……
I enjoyed the darkness in this book and the quest for vengeance. I enjoyed this look at who the real monsters are, what one does for love, what one is willing to do for revenge, and what happens when all hope is lost. This book took me and the characters on a road trip of rage, revenge, blood, grief, heartbreak, and connection. People, man, they will break your heart. Duane and his niece, Julia, do just that in this book. The author did a tremendous job with their characters and had me caring for them, fully invested in their plight, and their bond.
Dark, horrific, heartbreaking, gritty, and raw!
I listened to the audiobook and thought the narration was fabulous.
