Drunk Book Club: The Silver Kiss

We found it: the missing link between Interview with the Vampire and Twilight. On the one hand, we have a child vampire villain and musings about the power of human nature; on the other, a Not Like Other Girls heroine who's into the new bad boy in town (but not like, TOO bad). It's a fascinating historical document. As a novel....well, the ending's unexpected.
