The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix

Wow – talk about a page turner! Hendrix’s foreshadowing adds a level of dread to the suspense, and I had to read the second half all in one four-hour sitting because I couldn’t tear myself away.

I did enjoy the story, though. Hendrix portrays the Southern women well, commenting on gender, homemaking, race, and class in a humorous, horrific way.
