Story
When Ray Garton’s Live Girls was published in 1987, it changed the face of vampire fiction. The gritty, urban story of Davey Owen’s dark seduction and reluctant transformation into a creature of the undead has become a classic of the genre. In Night Life, nearly two decades after battling the vampires of the Midnight Club in New York City, Davey is a marked man. He lives a quiet life in Los Angeles with the love of his life, Casey Thorne. The vampires he did not destroy back then have been hunting him ever since....

Story
Something very strange is happening in the coastal California town of Big Rock. Several residents have died in unexplained, particularly brutal ways, many torn apart in animal attacks. You might think there’s a werewolf in town. But you’d be wrong. It’s not just one werewolf, but the whole town that’s gradually transforming. Bit by bit, as the infection spreads, the werewolves are becoming more and more powerful. In fact, humans may soon be the minority, mere prey for their hungry neighbors.

Tamsen Donner must be a witch. That is the only way to explain the series of misfortunes that have plagued the wagon train known as the Donner Party. Depleted rations, bitter quarrels, and the mysterious death of a little boy have driven the pioneers to the brink of madness. They cannot escape the feeling that someone - or something - is stalking them. Whether it was a curse from the beautiful Tamsen, the choice to follow an experimental route West, or just bad luck - the 90 men, women, and children of the Donner Party are at the brink of one of the deadliest adventures in history.

Story
For graduate student Jeremy Freirs, citified, cynical, yet prone to daydreams, summer is the time to shed a few pounds and finally get some reading done for a course on Gothic literature. He's picked just the right place: the small, secluded village of Gilead, New Jersey, only 90 minutes from Manhattan but, with its antique customs and clannish traditions, seemingly centuries away. For farmers Sarr and Deborah Poroth, young members of Gilead's fundamentalist community, the summer threatens a conflict between their passionate natures and the stern dictates of their faith.

Publisher's Summary
Davey's on the down and out when he loses his girl, his job, and practically his sanity. While some men drown themselves in a forgiving bottle, Davey believes it's much more profitable to sink into Times Square's nightlife and lose himself inside Live Girls. They are the free ravishing pleasures who beckon Davey into a world of irresistible fantasy and ecstasy. One of them propositions him with a kiss, an insatiable kiss that leads him far from the misery he once felt to a demonic place where body and soul are sacrificed for obsessions.

So so
This was my introduction to Ray Garton. After reading three of his novels now, my first initial reaction of loving this story has dwindled down to an “Eh” feeling. It’s pretty entertaining, but misses the punch to the gut that Lot Lizards has. Still though, it’s viscous vampires that don’t sparkle. Yay for that

Classic horror
What made the experience of listening to Live Girls the most enjoyable?
A very well written story which the narrator performed to a high standard.
What did you like best about this story?
Live Girls is just a good old classic vampire story unlike a few of the newer tales which seem a little 'watered down'.
What about Mark Nelson’s performance did you like?
Mark Nelson does a fantastic job on all of the main characters in the story & he reads the tale in a way that makes you believe he is really enjoying it.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No emotional reaction but I don't ever think that was the author's intention, it is just a solid tale.
Any additional comments?
Ray Garton has written some excellent novels over the years & I have recently purchased 'The New Neighbor' which I am looking forward to listening to.

An OK story but snowing it's age now. at times it seemed like a lot of mini stories stitched together. and as a result the flow was lost in parts. Overall an enjoyable listen but not worthy of more than 3 stars.
