This book was really really good in the beginning and then it dropped off for me. Joe Hill writes like a mixture of Dean Koontz and Stephen King (go figure). This story is not a traditional vampire story like I thought it would be. The villain is basically a guy who is called a vampire, has a bunch of needle teeth, and the way he stays young is by “saving” kids from an abusive home and bringing them to a horrific Lovecraft utopia called “Christmasland” in his 1932 Rolls Royce that magically turns the child into a monster like him and rejuvenates him into looking younger. This story is a bit out there if you ask me but worth reading at least once in your life.
