Not for the devoutly religious or those squeamish about sexual variation, I found this to be an intriguing take on the vampire. Victor, the narrator, while almost repulsive at times, had me rooting for him in the end.

This thin novel is the first in a series about Victor, a man who became a vampire shortly after Jesus' resurrection and who has now, 2000 years later, found someone who might take Jesus's place in his fevered brain.
The main character is unlikable. He's learned nothing in 2000 years--nor has he by the end of this book. Also, some of Schiefelbein's vampire myth makes no sense. But it's a fairly quick read, and if you're in the mood for blood and violence and non-consensual gay sex, th...more

Another gay vampire story but this one is a lot of fun and makes great, easy summer reading! Imagine a Roman Soldier who falls in love with Jesus of Nazareth but who is made into a vampire and who comes back as a monk in a cloistered monastery in modern Tennessee. Excuse the blasphemies and whoever said vampires were afraid of crosses didn't know this one...sorry Bram Stoker!

This was the first vampire novel I read, so much of my excitement stems from that. Much of the book is set in the old St. Thomas Monastery in the Appalachian Mountains. The relationship and trust (or lack thereof)between main character Victor Decimus and the monks is interesting to note. It's definitely a page-turner! I found it to be an easy read! I'll have to read the sequels before passing further judgement.

Vampires, gay porn, tragic doomed love-hate relationships with Jesus, and lots of fucking with the clergy (in both senses)... you'd think this would be right up my alley. And yet, I'm bored.
