Preorder: The Willows Weep (Pirates of the Witheri.Celia’s Comic Review: The Me You Love in the Dark. Book Review: The Keep: A Novel of the Adversary Cy.Cover Reveal: Leather & Lace (The Fool's Adventure.I highly recommend this classic for its original spin on the ‘haunted’ castle story, its unbelievable tension on very human levels, and for reminding us, vampires are supposed to be monsters from your darkest nightmares. I recently saw the movie was back on cable. But if this monster gets out of the keep, it kills everyone. You 100% want the vampire to destroy the Nazis. Wilson does this so you are actually torn with who is the worst evil. He doesn’t shy away from actual history, from the Nazis claiming they’re the ‘superior race’ to addressing the concentration camps. I was immediately captivated by all the conflicts and subplots running underneath author F Paul Wilson’s absolutely frightening vampire creature. He’s there because the monster in the keep has awakened. And then a mystery man arrives from nowhere. The Nazis have to bring in a scholar who happens to be Jewish. Soon, one of their soldiers is slaughtered every night. They take over an abandoned keep, even after the locals warn them it’s cursed. THE KEEP takes place back in WWII when the Nazis swept Europe. So when I saw there was a novel, I gave it a chance. The movie is pretty bad, but it had some cool ideas and an interesting enough plot. I read THE KEEP years ago, after making the mistake of seeing the film version.
