Representaion In Favor Of Books Lord of the Dead

Famed nineteenth-century poet and rake Lord Byron travels to Greece and becomes the world’s most formidable vampire—entering a dark, intoxicating world of ancient arts and scorching excesses of evil—in this offbeat book by the author of Slave of My Thirst. Traveling in the mountains of Greece, Byron falls under the spell of a mysterious fugitive slave, whose pale, slim body arouses his lust. Utterly entranced, his fate is sealed. The supreme sensualist embarks on a life of adventure—that of the world's most formidable vampire. Chosen to enjoy powers beyond those any vampire has ever known, Byron enters a dark, intoxicating world of long-lost secrets, ancient arts, and scorching excesses of evil. He drinks deeply of terror and sex. But his diversions, delicious and cruel, are also his torment: an all-consuming thirst damning all those he loves...

Column Epithetical Books Lord of the Dead

Meh. Definitely a fever dream, but also definitely not mesmerizing. A mildly interesting take on Lord Byron's life/unlife. Favorite part is that section involving the Shelleys (Percy and Mary), and I truly enjoyed the chapter opening real quotes from Byron and company. Our main character? Irresolute, inconstant, insufficient. Sets up for a sequel, but damned if I'll read it.

Now this is how Vampire stories should be told!! Dark & gothic!! Truly one of my all time favorite vampire novels now! I really hope there are more books by this author because be is a master at horror writing! WOW!

i can't help it, i love byron. i have about 30 books here that fictionalize his life and work and discourtesies. and most of them look like cheap romance novels, but i love that clubfooted bastard even when they are bad. and this one is bad. byron as a vampire?? how could this story go off the tracks, you wonder?? well, it does. pretty spectacularly. i own the sequel too, and i will read it because i cannot resist! i'm just glad i can read pretty quickly, so i am able to indulge myself these

Pros: Very imaginative, this is great for hard-core fans of the Gothic genre. It's also fantastic if you haven't already read Anne Rice and love vampires enough to forgive the cons.Cons: Oh, my God. I cannot express how boringly written this book was. Did not have any of the details or apologetics of the Victorian era (1837-1901), which would have made the novel fantastic for its imagination. It was so hard to get through the book for that reason alone. I found the setup of back story annoying

So close to a 5 stars for me. Like 4.75. I really enjoyed this to the point that I was bummed when it was over. It's hard to find a vampire story with a different spin that's not only good but unique. It really has a bit of everything in it. Highly recommend - and definitely reading more by Mr. Holland.

I give this audiobook two stars.The text itself is dull and lifeless, just like this portrayal of Lord Byron. It's an interesting concept with poor execution.But! Richard E. Grant's performance is outstanding. Listen to this quick read, if only for that.

I absolutely loved how Holland used a gothic theme to portray the good and bad that lies within a man, and how he struggles with his lost morality. The characters are very well developed and the ending was superb.
