This book is excellent! It is an exhibition of many of the things Grady Hendrix is so good at, beaten only in my estimation by his incredible How to Sell a Haunted House. This is a beautiful book about family, friendship, motherhood, adulthood, and vampires and it is fitting that it shares a setting with My Best Friend's Exorcism, because it really feels like a lot of the themes are similar to ones brought up there, but applied to the older, wearier, more lonely members of the family. It gets a bit grisly (it is horror, after all, and it is Hendrix), but I would strongly, strongly, strongly recommend this to anyone.
