  This is the one good thing I appreciated: the first three lines. "Of all the rash and midnight promises made in the name of love none, Boone now knew, was more certain to be broken than: 'I'll never leave you'". To begin a horror story this way to me is just a.w.e.s.o.m.e.
  But then come the bad things.
  Maybe because Cradle of Filth's Midian many years ago pictured the nightbreed so in-an-english/european way, this book let me down hard. I'm not mother language and this is practically thre first book I read in english... in the beginning I loved it very much. But then, it just took the wrong turn, IMO. No poetry, no macabre love, no satanic sweetness... just storytelling with no description, fucking and a stupid non-mythology based only on mr Baphomet, the one who no-one can look in the eye to but Cabal (which second baptism is ridicolous). I also watched the movie, I was curious... and I understand the atmosphere the book didn't explained at all: it's an 80s zombie story! I'm sorry, I prefer Dani Filth's point of view.

  Is this helpful?
