Review by: Marc Morrell on Sep. 14, 2011 : star star star star star
A little bit of "Buffy" but it ain't pretty... unless you're talkin' "pretty gruesome!"

This story is a nice slice of wise talking psych 101 as we see Frank, an unusually tough cop with a hint of super powers facing off against an extremely dangerous but young and dumb punk of a megalomaniac vampire.

For Frank, who's seen it all before, this isn't one of his extreme cases, but if he doesn't pay attention and work it right, it may just be his last!

Very easy, entertaining read. Just the kind of thing to get your mind and paranoia going.

Review by: Lynda Fries on Aug. 31, 2011 : star star star star star
If you're looking for romantic, sparkly vampires, then this probably isn't the story for you. If you're looking for a great vampire parody with lots of laughs and great characters, then look no further. This is the story of Frank, a tough cop who gets the "unusual" cases. In this story, he's tracked down a murderous vampire that truly is too obnoxious to live. The story was fun and full of action and the dialogue was clever and witty. I hope to be reading more about Frank in the future.

While you're at it, you should check out the other stories by Mr. Nastos.
