Vampire on the Orient Express by Shane Carrow

Rating: WARTY!

I have to grant this one an amusing title. It made me laugh when I read it. Not that I have any intention of reading the novel since I pretty much detest vampire stories; they're nearly all the same, and this one isn't even a parody like my own Merde on the Orient Express is. Here's the plot in a nut's hell: "When American adventurer Sam Carter joins British diplomat Lucas Avery on the Orient Express, they anticipate a luxurious journey from Paris to Constantinople... but an ancient evil lurks among the passengers. Will any of them survive the trip?" My guess is yes. Note the Brit and American traveler so it has transatlantic appeal. God forbid it should be only the one because who the hell wants to read about a person from another country for goodness sakes?!
