SOLVED. Fantasy Book about an old Vampire with a Child's Body His companions and him were traveling on some sort of ship. [s]

I pulled this book off my local library's fantasy paperback shelf when I was in high school, read half of it, and returned it. Fast forward to many years later, and here I am, unable to remember the title.

Here's what I do remember:
-The main character was a vampire that had a body of a child, despite being very old. It think he was bitten when he was a child.
-His companions and him were traveling on some sort of ship. I do remember him surprising the rest of the crew by killing some sort of sea monster, and them discussing how he wouldn't be able to get any blood during the journey.
-There seemed to be some universe traveling aspect. I'm a bit fuzzy on this, but I seem to remember the main character being from "our world," and somehow ended up in this fantasy universe.
-The main push of the story seemed to deal with some sort of magical weapon akin to a nuclear bomb. I seem to remember a city getting obliterated and there being glass(?) left over on the ground.

Sorry if there aren't that many details. Thanks in advance for any help!

Maybe, just maybe, one of "The Little Vampire" series by http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... ?

Thanks for the reply, but no, it wasn't that. It was definitely not a children's novel, probably one of those numerous paperback fantasy books you see around.

Some of the details sound a bit like The Vampire Armand by Anne Rice, at least, a boy vampire who spent some time on a ship. The stuff about the sea monster and fantasy stuff doesn't ring a bell though - this was more like historical fiction.

It might be Voyage of the Shadowmoon by Sean McMullen
