Summary: The best vampire story I know of.
Comment: I have read a lot of horror books in my life and have never read anything that comes close to being as scary as this book; I wouldn't even read it after dark, only during the day! The characters are so finely described that they seem to spring into life right off the pages. The story itself is so plausible that I couldn't imagine it wasn't really true and happening now. I sincerely hope they don't make a movie from this book because I have seen "Hollywood" butcher so many other great stories I know they will never get this one right. If the reason you read horror is to get scared then you must read "They Thirst".

Summary: Good Book,But not great!
Comment: They Thirst is a good Book, but not as great as people make it out to be. It has some truely scarey passages including, a little girl's plea for her victim to come outside to play; the pre-vampires cocoon state; the watch dogs over those pre-vampires and just the idea of vampires taking over a city. But I was always expecting more. I felt the book should've spent more time developing the plot of the people surviving the horrific nights during the vampire domination instead of focusing on a boring and typical murder case ,which takes up most of the beginning of the book. although I must say the ending is one of the best endings I've read in a long time.
Interview with a vampire is still my Favorite Vampire book mainely becasue of Rice's style of writing and her confidence to do something different. They thirst at times falls into to the typical vampire horror genre that it makes fun of through out the book.
With all of that said, I still recommend it, but don't expect "the best vampire book ever". it's just a good horror novel.

Summary: Keep your cross handy!
Comment: I wore my cross for over a month after reading this book. Granted, I was 12 and just beginning to read about vampires, but, nevertheless, such a reaction cannot be ignored. Now 19, I have forgotten many plot details but still recall certain descriptions and the consistently chilling mood of the story. I recommend this book to any fan of the vampire genre, and the horror genre in general. Read this for an emotional response, not literary evaluation. I remember being vaguely dissatisfied by the ending, though that hasn't diminished my opinion of the book or my determination to read it again.
