COMMUNITY REVIEWS
World War V. (that's a "vee", not a Roman five)
submitted by eknapp on November 9, 2011, 3:45pm
Wilson's vampires are not poetic tormented souls; they're greedy, evil, single-minded monsters. The vampires hiding in eastern Europe have decided the time has come to take over the world and literally farm humans for blood. Europe, Asia, and the Middle East are overrun, and they've established themselves on the east coast of the United States. The story is about the human resistance.
Midnight Mass is not beautifully written, but it's not bad. Its strength lies in its story and its strong internal logic. If vampires were real, this is how their world would look. It's extremely dark; Wilson spares the reader nothing at all. It can be very hard to read sometimes, but I love this book for its unwillingness to compromise.
