A battle without honor or glory of despair, where in the middle are the innocent prey. And perhaps there is 'more' fault in us, we can choose that in them, slaves who can not quench a thirst.
They are born killers, we defend the extreme, always on the verge of collapse. But somehow ambiguous and discordant, innocent unconsciousness of the simple, we are also the dim glow a hope of an unexpected, brief, unexpected moment of justice ... "Back
team Slayer more shabby and psychological history of horror literature.
After the killing vampire glimpsed in the previous chapter of the saga (The 18th Vampire ), life in the city of Modena is returning slowly to normal. Vampires are back, suddenly and mysteriously in the shadows, and Claudio and Vergy find themselves without work. They drag out their miserable lives (in every sense), trying to forget the horrors of the vampires and previously lived.
But it is not easy to erase the past. Especially when it's a bad past, and has the habit of Doom back ... Vampires have not disappeared altogether, made worse than they have been abandoned to their fate by the Masters and their blood brothers, and now arrabattano as best to survive by hiding in the suburbs, in abandoned houses and in the most squalid and isolated cities. There are those who exploit the situation and invents a new job, like Paris, pretty despicable character and without scruples, which opens an agency of Slayer and recruit the heroes to the classic dish of beans. And in this second chapter of the saga will play four adventures that will see these characters: a, very long and epic (and desperately) Gothic, in the old Cemetery in Modena, another will involve them in the hunt for a sadistic and vicious vampire who will doggedly on his victims in an abandoned hotel on the edge of the motorway, yet another in the mountains, a gruesome story and Christmas, where our will to act as body guards the picturesque and wealthy family of a lawyer, threatened by a dangerous and colorful crew of vampires, and the fourth and final will take place across the border, a dreary, rainy Paris, looking sad as an insidious bloodsucking that has transformed a huge tower block inhabited by in his non-hunting ... Claudio
Verge surprising (and there displace ...) once again with his vampire hunters always credible, more and more frustrated and psychotic more and more miserable and yet heroic to the bitter end. Mastering his style and delicacies made of Zen swearing splatterpunk, Verge leads us to hand in a world where humans and vampires are two sides of the same sadistic, inscrutable, inevitable and cruel coin that we call life. Soaked to the extreme of fatalism and despair Jean Ray, and macabre, dirty humor to Joe Lansdale, "The 36 ° right," sees the return to prominence of some of the old characters, such as unbalanced Gabriel (who has become an established horror writer, but does not hesitate, once arrived at the point, thrown back into the fray ...), or young nymphomaniac / guerrilla Elizabeth, alongside new characters brand, such as the dwarf African Matthew, which ends meet as a photographer of sites like Rotten ultrasplatter, or the new employer of the team, Paris, and his sensual secretary / right arm Peruvian Alicia. Other new characters can be glimpsed only (see the young vampire and his fellow Russian Margaret adolescents, the next generation vampire), and surely will have their weight in the inevitable (hopefully) the third chapter in the saga.
Praise Claudio Verge, then, that was able to rewrite a myth as that of the vampires, and dangerously close to making it believable.
We can only recommend that the purchase of this memorable novel. Will be money well spent, I guarantee us!
