Since this novella is on the short side, I hesitate to describe the other characters Lawson encounters in I TRAVEL BY NIGHT. Then the story is a pure Horror and Adventure thrill-ride. That narration style continues until Lawson accepts a job that could potentially put him back on the trail of the vampire that turned him. It felt like I was lounging comfortably in front of a blazing fireplace while McCammon sat across from me relating the story. The first thing I noticed was how the beginning of the novel has a rambling cadence to the narrative. Until then, Lawson takes whatever jobs he can to help the less fortunate. If he can find her, he may be able to reverse his affliction and become mortal again.

He was given the curse of vampirism on a battlefield during the Civil War, and ever since has been trying to track down the vampire queen that turned him. The story begins with an introduction to the character Trevor Lawson. The short version is that I TRAVEL BY NIGHT is classic McCammon, and absolutely incredible. But if there is one author I trust with the classic Horror monster archetypes, it is Robert McCammon. I blame it on the over-saturation of the market with the sexy, glittery variety. They don’t hold much interest for me these days. I TRAVEL BY NIGHT ( Amazon) is a vampire story. So when Subterranean Press announced new novella from McCammon, I begged and pleaded for an ARC of it. Every McCammon story I have read thus far has been terrific, and he has easily become one of my favorite authors. Additionally, Subterranean Press is the publisher for all of Robert McCammon‘s novels these days. From the art to the actual materials used to make the book, the production quality never fails to impress. Simply put, the quality of the books they put out are nothing short of amazing. If you don’t know by now, let me be clear: I love Subterranean Press.
