This was the first novel I've read by Ray Garton. I started off not expecting much but quickly got sucked into the story and really didn't see the vampire turn coming at all. The writing was straight to the point and the characters were well described and I quickly started to empathise with the main character, Davey, despite him being completely "spineless". I will be looking for more books by Garton. His writing is very reminiscent of the late Richard Laymon, complete with explicitly described sex scenes if you like that sort of thing. Highly recommend this book.
