Hillbilly Vamp: A Horror Comedy By R.E. Holding
Not all vampires are created equal Wyatt and Birdseed are two ordinary friends living in the small idyllic town of Royal Lake One evening while responding to a complaint of strange activity in the deep woods they stumble across an old abandoned mine Wanting to push aside his fears Wyatt makes a rash decision that alters their futures forever Two outsiders Kennedy and Jace are traveling to a concert and take a shortcut through the middle of the hills of Royal Lake When their car suddenly breaks down they are at the mercy of the kindness of strangers to get them back on their feet What they don t realize is the annual county fair has begun and the denizens of Royal Lake have a special show that no outsider would ever forget If you like dark humor or horror comedies and the supernatural you ll love the antics in Hillbilly Vamp Hillbilly Vamp A Horror ComedyWhat a fun quirky and original take on a vampire story I love how the author takes the idea of the sexy sleek vampire and completely flips it on its head I also enjoyed the variety of different characters that come together to fight the hoard even if the antagonists are likable and the reader doesn t necessarily want to see them die Their remaining humanity shines through and shows they are not completely lost. The story itself lulls you in slowly but hits hard about halfway through and doesn t let up until the end It s fast paced and gory but bits of humor weaved throughout And that bonus story The gory cherry on top. I received an advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily English I received an advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily A short and great story It s fun it s gruesome and very well written I was surprised at how engaging the characters were for such a short story. E Holding No spoilers 3 stars There had been suspicious sightings of someone lurking in the woods near the border of Royal LakeSheriff Birdseed and Deputy Wyatt were roaming the forest looking for the culpritThey heard rustling in the brushOff in the distance they saw something standing stiff as a board The thing stood there watching themIt had the reflective eyes of a wild animalSuddenlyIt darted off to the side and disappeared The two lawmen took off chasing it through the woodsIn the distanceThey saw a light and they went toward it like a moth to investigateThe light was a mine elevator light and they found themselves standing on an old engraved metal plate in the groundThe plate was centuries oldLike true hillbillies the men entered the old elevator and pushed the down button The ancient cables snapped and they plummeted all the way to the bottomThey were trapped in the mine soThey decided to explore the dark mine shaft They heard distant banjo music DELIVERANCE anyone and found a cave carved into the side of the shaftInside the cave was an old dirty mattress and a table with an ancient journal on top of itAs they were looking around a stranger smelling strongly of Coppertone sunscreen stepped out of the darkness and said Y all can call me Big GreasyThe first half of this story was very good but the second half was like it had been written by someone else Part 2 was very hard to follow and wasn t near as interesting as part 1 English This book was such a hoot I absolutely loved it It had vampires a couple breaking down on their way to a Tool concert love this band hella laughs and of course Coppertone Sunscreen which is a MUST for fair skinned beauties.
