Book With No Name

Interesting. I looked at this a while ago and suspected that many of the better online reviews had been planted - this is, after all, a lulu.com jobbie - albeit a lulu.com jobbie with a great selling point.

However, from what the GGGG man says, I may have been unfair and will think about giving it a go.

I'd love to know who the author is. Even though it's set in the America, I've a feeling it's written by a Brit. Some of the language and points of reference seem to be British. In fact, I would be surprised if it turned out to be Simon Pegg...

Wow! I finished this over the weekend and what a revelation it was. It's a comedy/horror/whodunnit and rips along at a furious pace. "Anyone who reads this book," says the cover, glibly, "dies." So far, I've survived to tell the tale, so let's see how far I get...
The basic gist of the plot is that a precious stone (the eye of the moon) is stolen and ends up in lawless town, inhabited by more than its fair share of vampires. It is said that whoever is in posession of the eye of the moon can control the movement of the sun; so, as a solar eclipse is imminent, it looks as though the vampires want to make the darkness permanent, so they can take over the town.
There are more murders than I can possibly recount here - all hideously graphic but in a comic, "cartoony" type way - and hot on the tale of the murderer(s) are a couple of cops-cum-film buffs, who try to solve the mystery by drawing parallels with horror films they have seen.
Read this book: be amazed!
