Creative in its lore, with a fun prose, and good pace. However, the unlikeable protagonist and bigoted ideology of the text made it difficult to root for this particular story.

Great story and great characters...especially Coburn. It's raucous, raunchy and hilarious. I've read a LOT of vampire books and I loved the twist of the "double-dead" zombie vampire monsters. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was fantastic -- a perfect match for the character and story. This was my first book by Wendig and I'll definitely be reading more.
