Purple prose run amok
This may be the most overwritten, overwrought mess I've ever read. From the beginning, I found the writing to be so florid, the prose so purple, I actually laughed out loud several times. Surely this isn't a good thing when you're reading a classic vampire story.
I switched to the free public domain Kindle version, but the story didn't improve upon seeing it in print.
The whole story can be summed up in a British expression, "I want to take your mind." The vampire wants intellectual "blood."
Not recommended at all, not even if you must read a cereal box instead.
The narrator did what he could with this mess, so I won't fault him for the one-star result.
