Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

"Chris finds his teenage lusts becoming the thirst of the undead. Horror fans will find this vampire novel a bloody cut above the usual fare," said PW. Ages 14-up.
Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up. Chris has problems?bickering, divorce-bound parents; a domineering older brother; his best friends becoming estranged. Overshadowing everything is the fact that Chris, while churning in adolescent hormonal changes, is becoming a vampire. The good people of his Massachusetts town are almost inured to the murders committed by vampires. Yet violent mobs shortcut justice with stake-through-the-heart lynchings. As Chris's blood lust grows, he's increasingly challenged to hide his transformation. "Chet," claiming to be an avatar of the Forces of Light, offers to reverse Chris's vampirism in exchange for his help in keeping the Vampire Lord imprisoned beneath the local reservoir. The teen agrees and does the deed, then spirals into self-doubt. Has he done the right thing? Who can he trust? If he reveals himself, will his family and friends betray him, kill him? Dark humor runs rampant. The invitation to a vampire gathering is a hoot ("drinks at 12:00"), and the imprisoned "dark god" rages amid the static of late night TV. Sexy Lolli, a vampire vixen, urges Chris to "come out of the coffin." Chris pays the price of making commitments without understanding the consequences. He struggles to the end to stay human and do the right thing, remaining a veritable vampire virgin, inevitably doomed to choose death either by starvation or biological destiny. Entertaining, disturbing, memorable, and sophisticated, this mortality tale will continue to haunt after the last pages are turned.?Joel Shoemaker, Southeast Jr. High School, Iowa City, IA

5.0 out of 5 stars Deliciously dark..., Jun 23 2004
By "jooleeay" (Conenty, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thirsty (Paperback)
This book is hauntingly dark and realistic while at the same time being satirical and extremely funny in some parts. It is a story describing how sometimes it can be hard to do the right thing, especially when we don't know what the right thing truly is. The way the teenagers in this book are portrayed are so true to life, and even though they are placed in a kind of alternate world in which vampires and other creatures coexist with humans. The lust and pain Chris feels is so wonderfully written, and the dialogue is original and believeable. The end of the book is great because it leaves the reader with things to ponder about. I would recommend this book if you like darker moods and rich fantasy mixed with rich reality, even if you are not a teen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Mar 9 2004
By "traveling_gnome" (Tallahassee, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thirsty (Paperback)
Once beginning this book, I was surprised to finish it within a week. Most books are boring to me and drag on for months. :-)

I couldn't put this book down. Great elements for a horror, twisted, teenage book. Read this book even if you like powerpuff girls or fruit-salad. (I don't like either).

Read the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Thirsty review, Mar 2 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Thirsty (Paperback)
Chris is an avarage boy going through a change that is not very avarage. He realized that he is starting to get very hungry but not for food. Chris is going on an adventure that he will never forget.

I realy like this book because it is very easy to understand and follow.

I recomend this book because there is mystery, horror and excitement.
