Publisher's summary

Finally, Kristine Kathryn Rusch's graphic tale of a world overrun by vampires gets a new life of its own. When she was a little girl, Cammie drove a wooden stake through her father's heart to save her brother Ben's life. Separated by the system, Cammie lost track of Ben. Now Cammie works as an eradicator, a vampire slayer for a privately funded organization. But she can't forget her brother. She leaves her job and her home to discover what happened to Ben. Instead, she discovers what price she paid for her own survival. She learns about her family, and its legacy. She learns what it really means to have sins of the blood. A memorable cult classic of vampirism, Sins of the Blood is the most shocking book Rusch has ever written.

Critic reviews

“It's horror in the same way that Robert Bloch's Psycho is-horror of the soul.” ( Locus)
“Nerve shredding….Like early Ray Bradbury, Rusch has the ability to switch on a universal dark.” ( The Times of London)

Unchaste Bloodsuckers

Would you listen to Sins of the Blood again? Why?

I am glad I listened to it once - it's not the sort of book I will listen too again though.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the fact that that the story had traditional nasty vampires and the plot line was interesting. I do think the storyline could have been refined a little though, especially concerning the protagonist's employment story. Frankly I was rooting for the evil vampires during the entire book.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I was not a fan of the narration, but it wasn't horrible either.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Actually this could make a good horror movie but I don't know what the tag would be.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
