He is further protected by the traditional vampire repellents of garlic, mirrors, and crucifixes. Neville, possibly the sole survivor of the pandemic, barricades himself indoors nightly as swarms of vampires violently surround his house. The vampires conform remarkably to their stereotypes in fiction and folklore: they are blood-sucking, pale-skinned, and nocturnal, though otherwise indistinguishable from normal humans.

The plot and action is understated while descriptions seem to go on for pages. ![]() The writing style (naturally) is rather clunky and old-fashioned. ![]() In the end it was quite poignant and sweet.
