Robert McCammon is one of the best horror writers of the 80's, and They Thirst proves it. It is a vampire story that is not about love, but terror. And it is scary. You know how in the old vampire stories there is maybe 3 vampires... WELL, They Thirst takes this concept to a new level when every night, every one who is a vampire takes bites and drinks the blood of everyone they see, meaning there are 1st 2, not wait 4, no wait, 8, 16, 32, 64... and after that there are blocks of vampires and whole neighborhoods fall to them. And when everyone realizes something horrible wrong is happenning they can not leave the city (oh, did I mention that the story takes place in LA?), a major sandstorm pours over the town, which seems to calm down at night, just in time for the nightly feeding frenzie. With all those being turned, there is one old cop who has been releaved of duty for telling everyone that they are fighting vampires, and a boy whose family has been wiped out and a few others. And the battle is obviously not won easily. And not all the heroes will see the daylight when the story is told.
