 Modern take on vampirism. An American doctor and priest join forces to rescue a Romanian infant who holds the cure to AIDS. Their rescue plunges them into a century old family who know all about blood-drinking. Stunning and intelligent.

 Yet another book about vampires that I read in high school. These children in a Romanian orphanage have a blood disorder that causes them to fiend blood. More realistic and makes me feel better about the world I live in.

 Creepy Romanian setting? Check. Historical Dracula flashbacks? Check. Potential scientific explanation for vampirism and tie-in to the AIDS epidemic? Check again. And yet, still, boring. Who knew it was possible? I'm a fan of Simmons work, but it was a serious effort to finish this one. His writing skills are in evidence here, but there's, ahem, no soul to the whole thing. Vampire novels shouldn't be quite this bloodless.
