BLOOD SPORT
1 Mar 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Amanda Peck has decided to leave her deadend job and abusive boyfriend. She packs a few belongings and heads out on the interstate to hitchhike. Her third ride turns out to be a killer with a literal taste for blood. Author VanBelkom has written a page turning vampire novel for those who like their vamps mean and scary instead of romantic. I would recommend this novel to fans of Richard Laymon and Simon Clark.

Interesting and Horror
13 April 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I like this book it's great it has a lot of action and I was always anxious to see what happens next because it shows not to run away from your problems. It shows not to hitchhike & take rides from strangers. This is a horror book. The main character Amanda Peck is stupid of taking rides from strangers, what was she thinking. Did she even ask herself if she should take this ride, you never know if someone is crazy or not, she didn't even know him. I hate the way that Amanda had stayed with her boyfriend when meanwhile she was getting beating up with bruises. I also hat that her boyfriend gambles all the money away.

Down And Dirty Vampire
26 April 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Amanda is a Toronto waitress who has just been pushed a little too far. Without thinking things through, she leaves her mobile home and boyfriend and takes to hitchhiking. She soon realizes that she has no idea what she is doing and starts to hitch back. That is when she gets picked up by the wrong driver.
Sharpe is a policeman who is looking for a serial killer. This killer drains his victims of their blood and dumps them by the highway. For some reason the bodies seem to get savaged by wolves.
Now Amanda finds herself captive of a short, fat, balding truck driver who claims to be a vampire. He uses medical equipment to drink blood from her arm.
Amanda must think quickly to try and outwit the vampire. Sharpe must get lucky to stop the body count from going up.
This is a wonderful story that starts fast and keeps going. You find yourself rooting for Amanda and Sharpe and even for Amanda's downbeat boyfriend who was slapped by reality when Amanda disappeared. I will not give away the ending but it did follow the ideas in the book and was quite satisfying.
If you like horror and/or vampires that don't fit previous stereotypes, this is one for you.
