    About this audiobook

    Sunglasses After Dark, by award-winning author Nancy A. Collins, tells the story of a punk female vampire searching for the man responsible for turning her undead and her attempt to rescue an innocent man from an unholy faith healer.

    One night years ago, American heiress Denise Thorne disappeared from a London nightclub, never to be seen again. That very same night, Sonja Blue, a tough-as-nails vampire hunter-slayer, conceived in terror and blood, rises from the city's gutters. Saved by modern medicine before completing her transformation into one of the undead, she becomes a living vampire, determined to fight for what remains of her humanity.

    One of the first urban fantasy novels, Sunglasses After Dark has garnered widespread critical praise and is a winner of the Horror Writers Association's coveted Bram Stoker Award.

      I first read this having got the school library to order it for me, I then got 'talked to' for ordering inappropriate books (but they still let me read it). Moving from reading fantasy like dragon lance and earth sea books at the time I remember it having a gritty and real feel."Her knee pistoned up smashing into his denimed crotch and rupturing his testicles; it was as if a napalm bomb had gone off in Rafe's jeans."This stuck with me for the last 20 years (as did the second chat that week from the library staff about my investigation into what napalm was and why I shouldn't be looking for recipe to make it)I also loved the way that the monsters were in plain sight and it's just people didn't recognise them as such (book explains better) and the reactions she has to her new life.I'm going to read again to see if I really was to young (I was sure I wasn't at the time).

      I am not a real big fan of vampire novels, and maybe that’s why I didn’t enjoy this one too much. I thought this one might be different because it won a number of awards and, I will say, it was well written. I did enjoy parts of the book here and there, some parts were funny, others very amusing. But, overall, it just was not my cup of tea. I thought it got somewhat cumbersome after awhile, slow moving, and draggy, and just dragged on a little (or a lot!) too long.

      Also, and maybe this is my greatest criticism, there was way, way too much graphic violence, blood, guts and gore. Not necessary in my opinion but, perhaps, that’s what people want and enjoy when they choose vampire novels. Not me! I would hope there might be a good vampire author out there who could come up with a great novel on the subject without resorting to all that.
