Explanation Supposing Books Lord of the Dead

Famed nineteenth-century poet and rake Lord Byron travels to Greece and becomes the world’s most formidable vampire—entering a dark, intoxicating world of ancient arts and scorching excesses of evil—in this offbeat book by the author of Slave of My Thirst.

Traveling in the mountains of Greece, Byron falls under the spell of a mysterious fugitive slave, whose pale, slim body arouses his lust. Utterly entranced, his fate is sealed. The supreme sensualist embarks on a life of adventure—that of the world's most formidable vampire.

Chosen to enjoy powers beyond those any vampire has ever known, Byron enters a dark, intoxicating world of long-lost secrets, ancient arts, and scorching excesses of evil. He drinks deeply of terror and sex. But his diversions, delicious and cruel, are also his torment: an all-consuming thirst damning all those he loves...

Evaluate About Books Lord of the Dead

Just finished it.It is compared to Interview with a vampire but i have to say that i feel meaningful difference from this book and Interview with vampire.When i read Interview with vampire i had to skip few pages in this case i read every letter and when i had to drop book i was sorry for it. His highest vampire,Velekh Pasha is scarier to me then any other. He walks in daylight and Bayron's first meeting with him is done inn late noon or so. Something is scary in it. He even smiled at him.I can

Meh. Definitely a fever dream, but also definitely not mesmerizing. A mildly interesting take on Lord Byron's life/unlife. Favorite part is that section involving the Shelleys (Percy and Mary), and I truly enjoyed the chapter opening real quotes from Byron and company. Our main character? Irresolute, inconstant, insufficient. Sets up for a sequel, but damned if I'll read it.

One of two very cleverly done vampire books. Two of my favorites actually. He manages to combine some notable people and fictional characters in history in a totally believable way and also creates more of a place for John Polidori than he usually manages to have. It was well done, richly textured and I might have to read one again today now that I am talking about it. :)

Very mediocre, but kinda what I expected from a badly-rated vampire book. There was a lot about this that I didn't really like. The writing felt very much as if Tom Holland had a draft, and just published the draft instead of the actual edited version. If we talk about the character of Byron, his language is much too simple, he's a Romantic poet! I imagine he would talk in a bit more complicated way than the way he does when he tells his story to Rebecca. You can see that Tom Holland has drawn

So close to a 5 stars for me. Like 4.75. I really enjoyed this to the point that I was bummed when it was over. It's hard to find a vampire story with a different spin that's not only good but unique. It really has a bit of everything in it. Highly recommend - and definitely reading more by Mr. Holland.

This was a fun read. As a fan of Byron, gothic novels, historical fiction and vampires, this book was right in my wheelhouse. I like the way the author interwove history and the supernatural to create this entertaining tale. Those familiar with the life and work of Lord Byron will probably enjoy this flight of fancy, especially if they also enjoyed "Interview with the Vampire." The book is a bit gory, but it is a vampire book of the non-sparkly type of undead, so be warned. If you're into

A minor disappointment. Id liked the authors non-fiction Rubicon, and a Byron biography by another writer I read some years ago. Seemed like adding vampires might be interesting, but it really wasnt. As all of the blurbs on the jacket mention, it owes a lot to Ann Rice. Adds very little to vampire lore. Still, some decent scares, and enough history sprinkled in with the fiction to make it passable.
