This week we talk the most BANANAS vampire book in our bunch: The Last Vampire by Christopher Pike (1994). After killing a detective in self-defense, a 5000-year-old vampire returns to high school to befriend his son and definitely left a feeling of "WTF did we just read?" Fair warning, the premise itself if incredibly controversial and appropriative of Hindu & Sikh beliefs. We continue our deconstruction of vampire tropes in classic vampire novels.
