The Crimson Road

I’m loving this gothic fairytale world Slatter has created and seeing cameos from previous characters just warms my heart.

The Crimson Road is traditional quest fantasy, complete with unexpected grottos, magic weapons, and found family. This is a great foray into the vampire lore of this world from their cursed conception to a long-ago prophesied end. While I do thoroughly enjoy the fairytale rhythm that is becoming Slatter’s signature style, it was a touch predictable by the end and being a horror fan, I only wish that the vampires were a shade more threatening.

But it’s safe to say that I’m in it for the long run and I intend to read Slatter for a long time yet.
