Having last time read this book during high school I decided to revisit some of my youth by reading this book again. I have been intrigued by Strahd's character since the first time I (or rather a character of mine) encountered him in the original gaming module back in junior high. I thought this novel did justice to the vampire and I liked the contrast between the two vampires (Jander being a likable "good" vampire). I tend to enjoy the traditional vampire stories like this more than theThe main character (Jander, not Strahd) is insufferable. He is the Felix Unger of vampires. When he gets upset, he starts crying bloody tears and goes into the next room to apply their version of Lemon Pledge to the furniture. At least with Neil Simon you get something funny.
This was surprisingly good. I expected a bunch of cheese but it was really entertaining and now I need to go check out the rest of the series.
So, a fantasy book about vampires. A couple months ago I wouldn't of been interested at all, but after finishing the Weis/Hickman main storyline of Dragonlance, I wanted to delve into another Dungeons & Dragons franchise, so I chose to read the first Ravenloft book.

The main character, a elf turned vampire called Jander Sunstar, really
I think I was about 15 the first time I read this book, and I absolutely loved it then. The main character, Jander Sunstar, had such an effect on me that I wanted so desperately to hear more about his adventures before becoming a vampire, and I frequently used his name when given the choice to name characters in video games. I even created an email address using j_sunstar. I had borrowed the book from my then boyfriend (who, from what I recall, was more interested in Strahd than Jander) and so
I first read Vampire of the Mists when I was teenager and its blend of horror and fantasy hit a literary sweet spot I didn't know I had. I loved this book and reread it several times. Now, much removed from those days, I decided to reread it and though I don't claim to have a completely objective view of the book because of my nostalgia, I feel the book is still a very good read and I really enjoyed it. Some would say the book is not highly original, and there were times when this story of a
I've always wanted to read a Ravenloft book but have never gotten around to it for one reason or another. I was not disappointed. It was an excellent story with more traditional vampires in a dark gothic setting. Can't wait to read more from this setting.
