Speaker 1: Welcome to the WBZ Book Club, Jordan Rich. Here, I've
Speaker 1: mentioned several books over the last couple of months that
Speaker 1: I've read by Dan Simmons, and here's one of his
Speaker 1: earlier novels, A long one six hundred and fifty plus
Speaker 1: pages called Carrion Comfort. This one features a certain kind
Speaker 1: of vampire, a small number of people with quote unquote
Speaker 1: abilities to infect the minds and bodies of their victims,
Speaker 1: and through mind control, these megamoniacal vampires seek to conquer
Speaker 1: more than just individuals. The villains of varied from a
Speaker 1: World War II Nazi officer to a fire and brimstone preacher,
Speaker 1: to corporate and government giants. The heroes those out to
Speaker 1: stop the vampires on their path of destruction include a
Speaker 1: Jewish Holocaust survivor, a young black female photographer whose father
Speaker 1: was murdered by the evil ones, a local yogul sheriff,
Speaker 1: and even a group of gang bangers. A huge novel
Speaker 1: with a lot of suspense and blood, reminding me of
Speaker 1: the best of Stephen King. Get set for a horror
