The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires

The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires is an addition to the world of horror from Grady Hendrix. The author, well known for Horrorstor and Paperbacks from Hell, makes a return to the world of his previous award winning book My Best Friend's Exorcism. Following a family living next door to the Lang family, several years after the conclusion of Exorcism, this book takes on themes of friendship, gender, and race in an older demographic.

This book is at times funny, suspenseful, and creative in the field of vampire stories. My only disappointment was that Hendrix didn't flesh out his vampire lore as much as I would have desired. Fans of Hendrix's other books will likely enjoy this one. Those who didn't dig Horrorstor or Exorcism might find something interesting in this one too.
