Well, it was short. And the voice characterization of the friend was good (the whole co-dependent enabler aspect of him was well done, in fact). I'd rather "cute" story ideas be short like this, so they don't waste your time if they don't work.
So, again, not really my kind of thing but painless.
The story was interesting enough, but the reader seemed rushed, like he was trying to emulate Ben Phillips's blase-character reading style and not quite hitting it.
First vampire story I've read where the victim has to be dead BEFORE you drink the blood.
Really? They just didn't want to make any competition for themselves, I assumed. Makes sense with the whole "exponential growth" thing. Besides, they supped seconds later so...not dead for very long.
Thanks for listening.
