If.... want to get a good idea of what "Dead" brings to the metaphorical table, think "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" coupled with Bret Easton Ellis' "American Psycho": top-rate Hollywood gore littered with socially disruptive potshots. In an attempt to ride the razor's edge, Huston doesn't steer clear of controversial topics such as homosexuality, pedophilia and rape. Instead, he uses these subjects as fodder for his rag-tag characters to work around. What's even More intriguing is how Huston addresses the dynamics of vampirism and its interaction with AIDS and other human setbacks. Can a bloodsucker mate without giving the vampire virus to its partner? Will the virus eat itself if it is not quenched by fresh blood? Huston flirts with these ideas and More, making this vampire novel a little different from your pre-Catholic Anne Rice novel. The only thing "Dead" lacks is a little Life in the structure department. Often the splintered plot twists become confusing, you can't keep track of who is good and bad, and Pitt's own egregious attitude grows tiresome.
