Coffin Moon by Keith Rosson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Strange book. It feels like a 70's pulp horror novel, complete with the same setting, types of characters, everything, but it's modern.

Vamps, revenge, massive disadvantages as a vamp, and every character is super flawed and grounded.

So, I should say it's a good novel in that it succeeds in all the ways it sets out to succeed.

And yet, I've read a number of novels quite like this and it'll never hold up to say, Interview, or many others. Indeed, it's a true-crime level, low-level thugs and regular people forced into hard circumstances type. It would have made a decent 70's hard-boiled movie with undertones of King but mostly like Bloch.

Not bad, all told.
