Worth Their Weight in Blood by Carole Jahme. Book review
Reviewed by Dave Brzeski
It’s not easy, these days, to put a new spin on vampires, but Carole Jahne manages it. The supernatural is dispensed with in favour of treating vampires as a genetic, evolutionary offshoot of Home Sapiens. It works very well, for the most part, and makes for a truly fascinating read. I really liked the concept that a group of altruistic vampires were working for the betterment of mankind, by trying to wipe out AIDS and other blood-related diseases.
Carole Jahne goes to a lot of trouble to work out the scientific origins of her vampires, and does an exemplary job of it.
