The Vampire Murders by Matthew Blake

The Vampire Murders

Detective Fehkal was sent to investigate the murder of a Chinaman. Why was this case so special? Murders of Chinamen were a weekly occurrence in the Seattle Chinatown.

The man was decapitated and disemboweled. It was like nothing Fehkal had every seen teeth Pictures, Images and Photosbefore. The carnage and cruelty were beyond description. It looked like someone had chewed off his arms and legs, but the marks weren’t like any human teeth Fehkal knew of, and the limbs had been taken by whoever had done such a thing. As he examined the pool of blood surrounding the body, he noticed that it looked like it had been licked up, lapped up like a cat would do. He looked up at the ceiling and saw a name, Peytor Droysvich, was written in blood. It was still wet.The only witness was a young Chinese boy.

Fehkal’s boss, Chief Shaffer, had the Mayor hounding him to solve the murder, quickly. It was election time and the Mayor needed the Chinese vote.

The boy told Fehkal he saw a shadow, where a shadow couldn’t possible have been, vampire moon black background picture and wallpaperoutside the house. It looked like smoke and went through the window into the house. Then he heard screaming and other horribly weird sounds.

The next morning, Fehkkhal went to the library to do some research. In the archives, he found several references to Peytor. There had been a European vampire scare twenty years earlier. It had begun right after Peytor’s death in Serbia. Some family members died mysteriously and it was said that Peyotr was supposedly coming around, after he was dead, telling them how hungry he was.

As Fehkal left the library, Sally  invited herself out to lunch with him. He’d always had his eye on her. He had thought of asking her out, but something always stopped him.

When he went into work, the Chief was waiting for him.The fingerprints that had been found at the murder scene were the same ones that were involved with three other murders. But the suspect had died more than a year ago.

The witness’s parents were murdered during the night. Fehkal knew the kid was good, that he didn’t do it. As he interrogated Xiao, Xiao told him  what he had seen, when he came vampire bats animated flying graphichome from goofing off with this friends. The front door had been wide open. He looked in and saw a shadow. When the wind blew the door and banged him in the head, the shadow looked up. Xiao saw red eyes, then the shadow flew out the window.

Another night, another murder, two actually. The scene was even worse and a message had been left for Fehkal. Now it was personal.

“I know you’re trying to find me detective Fehkal. If you don’t’ stop, you’ll end up like these two.”

The cover is cool. The only way it could have been better, is if it was a man with a long black coat. The character, Fehkal, always walked the streets of Seattle, he had no car.

This is a novella that can easily be read in one sitting, preferably when you are alone at night – jumping at the settling of the house, wondering if something is trying to get in.The  writing was very good and I raced through the pages.

For such a short book, it was packed with suspense. Had Fehkal looking over his shoulder as he walks the dark streets. I kept waiting for him to be attacked.

I loved it. I always like being surprised and that is pretty hard to do because I read so many books. But I was very surprised as it neared the end. I was really bummed and pissed off, but I thought about it and thought, WOW, that’s pretty good. Evoked a lot of emotion.

I was given a copy of this book in return for an honest and unbiased review.

  1. Why not? Anything goes here so I wouldn’t be surprised! Love your photo choices. It makes it so cool. I’ve heard of this book. Really want to read it!

  2. Thank you so much for the interest everyone! I’m actually in Seattle right now (location of the novella) visiting a friend, but I’ll be sure to get back to each and every one of you within the next day or two!

  3. I’d like to think, as a chronic singleton that eats a lot (and I mean A LOT) of garlic-y food, I’d be not only prepared but off-putting enough to be safe from Vampiric intruders. That said, I’d like to see them get past my three cats who think that the usually-open window is their own personal kitty door. We’ll see…

  4. That was strange, after 16 days I got three requests within a couple of hours. Did you guys find out about the book from another site? Anyhow, it’s been sent to each of you. Thank you for your interest and I hope you like the tale!

    • That could be because I added an event and some giveaway pages to more groups. That usually gets more people responding who I hadn’t reached before. I’m glad we are getting a good response. Happy Holidays Matthew and I will be in touch.

  5. I , personally, feel that I am quite prepared. However, whether or not we can come to an agreement as to the type of relationship we will have greatly depends upon how they plan to introduce themselves to me, lol.

  6. Thanks very much, I am intrigued to read how the detective reacts to his discovery!

  8. Ummm, I’d like to think I am…I actually have fangs myself, am fairly pale and am definitely a night person so hopefully they’ll think I’m one of them
