For example: some fiction books contain foul language, some history books give graphic details of the violence of war, and some theology books contain views you may not agree with. So like I said: use caution. Think before, during, and after you read!

 76-WORD REVIEW [AUG 09]                                                                                             

An ancient truce has been broken and a new plague has been unleashed upon unsuspecting humanity: vampires. Borrowing from the traditional vampiric folklore but also adding in several new elements, Del Toro and Hogan set the stage for all-out war. As the first part of a trilogy, it does a fair job of introducing characters, establishing ground rules, and raising the…ahem…stakes. Warning: Foul language abounds, as does the nastiness you would expect with vampires and such.
