\"Bite\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

By Howard Chaykin<\/strong>, David Tischman<\/strong> & David Hahn<\/strong> (Vertigo)
\nISBN 1-84576-065-4<\/p>\n

Produced in DC’s new pocket paperback format, Bite Club<\/strong> seems like quite a small package but delivers a sizable portion of entertainment in the tried\u00e2\u20ac\u201cand-true Chaykin obnoxious, spit-in-your-face, poke-in-your-eye style. Writing with long-time collaborator David Tischman and stylishly illustrated by David Hahn, with an enticingly limited palette colouring job by Brian Miller, he’s managed to add to his reputation as a Iconoclast by retooling the Vampire genre for the post-Goth generation.<\/p>\n

Vampires are real, they’re not magic, they are super-powerful, and they mostly live in sunny Miami where they run the rackets. When Leto Del Toro, the son of the biggest Vamp Capo became a Catholic priest it was a shock. When he’s called back to rule the family after his father’s spectacular murder, that’s a recipe for slaughter, hip racial intolerance and the cool cynical intrigue that’s been a trademark of this creator for the last twenty-five years.<\/p>\n

Those other trademarks; lashings of kinky sex, graphic, gratuitous violence and worst of all, quite harsh language makes this book an absolute treat \u00e2\u20ac\u201c or perhaps the next contender for a book-burning near you.<\/p>\n
