This was the perfect example how starved I was for new JAL material. I must have devoured the story in 20-25 minutes.
I'm glad to see Marlaine Delargy is back on board in her translating duties. Language flows very smoothly and is a very accessible read.
And speaking of accessible, this plot is so universal that it could have taken place anywhere in the world. And that is the secret of good writing
Also, the story is laid out in a very cinematic manner. So well in fact that I was ready to pick up the camera and start filming.
As usual, JAL's details of technical descriptions are meticulously researched which infuses fantastic aspects of the story with realism.
Good stuff.

Nothing. One of the characters is probably a descendant.

I prefer LTODD too. I did enjoy this new story, mostly to learn what is liked for a person that becomes infected. Pretty good details there.

It's implied. And since it's JAL, that means it's true. That could be yet another story. :think:

:think: I am going to try and read the story later again, since I was confused in that part as to who it was.

I wish they would just make a short with Oskar and Eli and stop acting like it may be one. The vampire idea is fun with them, but it's being milked now.

I was going to grab the e-book, but, oddly, the paperback is currently cheaper than the Kindle version on Amazon.

I liked this short story since JAL expands more about the infection. Other than that I prefer LTODD, is more precise and gives me an idea of what became of Oskar and Eli.
