About This Item
Norfolk, Virginia Beach: Donning, [1984]. First edition. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#169253) (29920). Octavo, cloth. A presentation copy inscribed to "Dan" by Sucharitkul on the verso of the half title page. "VAMPIRE JUNCTION is sensational, gory, funny, and extremely provocative, both intellectually and viscerally. Its large cast of characters and vast historical tableau have lent themselves to two sequels whose excesses seen self-conscious reflections of the novel's acceptance as a splatter-punk prototype." - Barron (ed), Fantasy and Horror (1999) 6-341. "... a major reworking of the vampire myth and one of the most original novels of the 1980's." - Barron (ed), Horror Literature 4-278. Carter, The Vampire in Literature (1989), p. 101. Cox 180. Reginald 35213.
