Carpathia

Just in time for the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's maiden and final voyage comes CARPATHIA. Matt Forbeck takes the over used vampire trope and builds it into a nice little alt-history/horror novel.

Most of the Titanic's story stays the same, but now the survivors must face the vampires returning to Europe on the Carpathia. Forbeck makes a nice allusion to Bram Stoker and Dracula without bringing the old fellow into the story.

The advertising says it is 30 DAYS OF NIGHT meets TITANIC, but it is really neither. Yes, the big boat sinks. And yes, the survivors, passengers and crew are trapped with no where to go, but the similarities end there (with one small exception, but I'm not one for spoilers)

CARPATHIA is a fun, quick read but it's journey is nothing new.
