I mentioned this one in passing, years ago: Those Who Hunt the Night is a vampire novel set in the early Edwardian era. It is… unsentimental and unromantic about vampires; they are monsters that think and eat people. And they are not what the hero of the book is fighting. And, hot damn! …Barbara Hambly wrote a couple more sequels than the one I knew about. Guess those all go on the Wish List.
Adieu, Declare, adieu.
They’re great books; a new one came out just last March.
I DID NOT KNOW THIS.
I wish she’d write a few more things–she left the Darwath and Winterlands series kind of hanging, and I’d’ve liked to see at least one more Raven Sisters book, too.
I’ve got the first. Not sparkly vampires. Been a while, but what I remember was pretty good.
I read Barbara Hambly before it was cool. This particular novel was really, really strong. Guess I need to catch up on the sequels now because hey, no sparkly vampires.
