Product Description
A colony of vampires lives unrevealed in New York City. But now the Time of Feasting is at hand, when they must make the warm kill and drink living blood. Renquist, the centuries-old colony Master is beset from within by the young ones who, contemptuous of humanity, are tired of living in hiding, and from without by a drunken ex-priest and a tenacious city cop, who are beginning to suspect the truth.

'The Time of Feasting' by Mick Ferran was a great vampire novel that did not use the same elements of many other vampire novels. For one thing, it took place in the center of a modern urban city, wheras many (I'm not saying all) take place a few centries ago in some little village. I'm not critisizing the ones that do, though. Ferran included historical background in the novel, which gave it a fantastic effect. The detail and imagery that he used was great. Feran created terrific characters and and plot, and wrote it so well, you didn't want to stop. He kept in mind that the story took place in the city, but gave some of the older characters that same century old feel. All of this and more, and still managed to make this urban vampire tale have a semi-gothic feel. Excellent read!

I read this book right in the middle of reading Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles and it really is a good book. It is filled with a new group of vampres that have more problems then The Vampire Chronicles. It deals with a blood thirst that they must hide from the mortals of New York City, but when a rogue vampire decides to go against the rules the main body of Vampires has to kill him and get out of New York. Then throw in a drunk priest that thinks he's chosen to kill all evil and you have a great adventure on your hands. The imagrey used was excellent and I would like to see a sequel....
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a pretty good Vampire book from the prospective of the vampire. The nice thing about it is that there is only a touch of angst, and even that little bit is cut short by other vampires who cannot stand self pity. A pretty good book. Players of Vampire: the Masquerade will especially like this book as the various vampires are pretty archetypical to the various clans (Feasting's vampires do not have clans, however).

A Good Vampire Novel
This book might rely on coincidence as a plot device too often, but overall "The Time of the Feasting" is a good read. Read more

This book stinks!!!!
This is the worst vampire book ever written. Not only was it very poorly constructed, it was full of impossible situations, coincidences, and other general baloney. Read more
