I like it - 3.5 stars. There was a definite creep factor to the deep-ocean-dwelling, very efficient vampires that stalk this small seafaring town. I wish it had gone a bit further at the end. However, Planke calling out to his father, the appearance of vicious child feeders, and a very descriptive dismemberment were all effectively disturbing. I'll remember this one. Definitely reading more by this author, who is Lee Thomas btw. Not sure why his name is inverted in the listing.
You may never want to go out on the sea after dark again. :-)Parish Damned takes you to a small, isolated seaside village with nasty little secrets and lethal foes with frighteningly efficient ways to massacre the unwary.Thomas Lee takes an original path around well worn trails. His descriptions of terror and gore are evocative to say the least. This story takes a bit of time to take off but be patient because it really delivers in the end. Highly enjoyable and satisfying.
After reading "Parish Damned", all I can say is "Lee Thomas, where have you been all my life?"Simply put, this is the BEST novella I've ever read.Although this is an early work, it is reminiscent of a more seasoned, highly imaginative author like Ray Garton at his best.

A really different take on the vampire story. A great quick read for those who are looking for some truely evil vampires. I reccomend it for those on summer holidays and vacationing on the water. lol.
A fast, wonderful read. I had grown VERY bored with the frumpy, nancy boy vampires that inhabit Anne Rice's books. In Parish Damned, I found the kind of vampires I wanted to read about--aggressive, violent, cruel, and animal-like. And as if that wasn't enough to sell me on this book, Lee Thomas has his vampires living underwater, coming topside to feed on boat crews unlucky enough to be out on the water at night. A very cool book.
This is a fantastic vampire novella! Lee Thomas delivers such a monster that will have you staying out of the water for at least a week, (maybe not literally but you will think twice about it.) For me, the book has the feel of an early Stephen King novel, and equals in horror. For a town who succumbs to the crud every four to five years that’s gradually eating away at Coral Point’s population, both the boat skipper/captain, (the narrator of the story), and the author explore the believed to be
