| Plot Summary of The Perchelli Chronicles |
|---|
"This is a book about a cynical, but idealistic cop who seems to attract monsters-or get assigned cases involving monsters, that exist in the "real" world of the late 199o's.He struggles with his humanity, his devotion to his vocation, and the guilt of having killed his lover(she was a vampire).It deals with his internal and external struggles to survive dealing with monsters when no one else(or a few "outcasts") seems to believe in them.
It has awesome characterizations, a sturdy plot, and enough excitement and sex, to fulfill the ubiquitous/requisite needs of good horror fiction."
Anthony DiGiacomo, Resident Scholar
