Nice Review from "Fallen Angels"

"Weep Not for the Vampire"

Even an animal when wounded looks for the familiar, and the monster that was once Cullen Roark is no exception. Roark, a vampire, heads back to his small town Virginia roots to end his own life – what there is left of his life, anyways. He finds some surprises along the way that give him a bigger sense of purpose, including a daughter and granddaughter he didn’t even know he had. But danger lurks and threatens his kin as he comes to the realization that another vampire has taken a liking to the blood of his family…and he vows to protect them.

"Weep Not for the Vampire" was a breath of fresh air in many ways, not the least of which was the absence of the overt sexuality that follows many stories of this type. Mr. Veselik pens a dark, intense tale of a love that will not die, despite one of the lovers having been turned into a vampire many years ago. This story proves that vamps can indeed have a heart, and the plot is neatly tied up in a skillful bow. While I felt that this tale could have benefited from a bit more length solely for the purpose of giving more background and details, the story was complete as reviewed, with no gaping holes or plot problems. I much appreciated the uniqueness of this brand of vampire’s powers, and I really enjoyed the poignant sense of humanity that remained in the character of Roark. Four Angels!
