Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated A Vampire's Christmas Carol in Books
Sep 5, 2019
For such a short story, it was really good. It threw in a couple of surprises along the way too, which is something the author is really good at doing.
It was great using the idea of Dickens' Christmas Carol to write a vampire's life. The past, when he was turned and caused the death of his girlfriend, to the present where he's about to do something that will change him forever, to the future where he's shocked by the bad things that might happen because of him.
Really liked it. Thank you, Cynthia, for the chance to read it :)

Whilst I found the book to be well written, and not heavily wordy, I did find myself struggling in places, wishing the chapters would go by quicker than they were. Mid-book felt a little like wading in quicksand. And then the action jumped in towards the end.
I also found it difficult to relate or empathise with the characters.
But still an enjoyable short read overall!

Well written, great characters, a plethora of general creepiness, blood and gore ... what more could you want?
Mr Malfi is definitely an author I will look out for in the future and thank you to NetGalley and Titan Books for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of They Lurk.

Brilliant first instalment of a short story! Was totally dragged in and loved it. Very dark and definitely something I love.
