Editorial Review:
Vampires have always lived in Eastern Europe. But with the fall of the Soviet Union, they began to spread across the continent, then the world, turning whole populations into vampires--or human cattle. Having overrun India, the far East, and the great cities of North and South America, the forces of Night are now spreading into the countryside to consolidate their conquest.

In a town on the New Jersey shore, the vampires have just arrived, along with their human henchmen, the cowboys, who round up human cattle for the overlords in return for the promise of eternal life---later. For the vampires wish only a few of their own kind to rule, and feed. The rest of humanity are to be helpless herds, the source of the blood of life.

Falsely accused of abuse, Father Dan is drunk in a basement waiting for the end. His superior has betrayed the local Catholic congregation and become a vampire. Sister Carolyn has become a formidable killer of cowboys and vampires. Dan's niece, escaped from the conquest of New York, has made her way south to find him. Brought together by Rabbi Zev Wolpin, who is shaken by the vampires' fear of the cross and holy water, they plan their resistance. Against all odds, they discover that there just might be a way for humanity to really fight back. But first they will have to kill the vampire king of New York.

Summary: Loved it!
Comment: I originally came across the novella editon of this book in an anthology called "Vampire Hunters". It was the best story in the book and searched hard and long for the orininal version. A few months later, i saw that they had re-released the book in paperback edition. I bought it right away.

I have read it twice now and i love more every time i read it. Wilson has a nack for writing. His stories are fast paced, action packed and full of well rounded characeters. This story is no exception.

The story while not an original concept was just plain cool. no other way to describe it. A preist, an atheist, a rabbi, and a nun take on the vampire hordes that now control more than half the world, and believe me they do some real damage.

The original novella takes place in a small New Jersery town and is about the afformentioned characters who take back a church that was being used for unholy purposes by the former preist who is now a Vampire liuetenant.
The church is taken back by the humans and then they set their sites on the King of the Vampires in New York City.

They made a really cheesey b-movie about the first part of the story and would really like to see a big budget movie made for the enitre story. There is room for a sequel but i dont think it will be anytime soon. In the meantime go out read this book if your into vampires and action.

Summary: Back to the Vampire Basics
Comment: This is a well written book and a tribute to the horror genre of vampire literature. Technically sound with a wonderful plot. A little more character development and historical reference and this would have easily been a five star rating. Technicalities aside, this is a scary book. Waring; do not read this book with a longing for falling in love with some poor tortured un-dead soul. To the contrary, this book makes a mockery of such rubbish. Evil, raw, and at times gruesome. Looking for macabre not romance, you found it. Cheers.

Summary: MIDNIGHT MASS
Comment: They make an unlikely fifth column: a disgraced priest, a bomb-making nun, a cross-wearing rabbi, and a lesbian atheist. But desperate times call for desperate alliances, and these are most certainly desperate times. You see, the undead have pretty much won. They've taken Europe, the Mid East, and most of Asia. They crossed the ocean and turned the US government. They've consolidated their hold on the East Coast and are honing their plans for the rest of the country. The survivors exist in fear and isolation, with no one to rally to. Until Father Joe Cahill decides to take back his old desecrated church and say mass again. Just once.

Publisher's Note:
This full-length novel is over 400 pages long and set in the same world as the F. Paul Wilson novella of the same title that was published by Pulphouse over a decade ago. Lavishly illustrated by Harry O. Morris with dustjacket, endpaper, and interior artwork, and limited to just 448 copies, this Limited Edition won't last long!

From the Author's Note:
"Midnight Mass was born out of my dissatisfaction with the tortured romantic aesthetes who have been passing lately for vampires. Stephen King gave us the real deal in 'Salem's Lot, but what gives since then? I wanted to get back to roots--go retro, if you will--and write about the soulless, merciless, parasitic creatures we all knew and loved."
