Vampires in small-town America

House of Caine ended up being a quick read even though it is five hundred pages long. It was the perfect read for a lazy bank holiday. While the sexual tension that goes hand in hand with the vampire genre was present in this book it was thankfully not as overt as some books which gave more room for an interesting and complex plot than the more erotic ones.

More than just a horror story?

This book is about more than just vampires. It's about a time and a place; the confused, lost society of the 80's. The House of Caine is about people searching for meaning, order and identity in that era. What makes this book interesting is reading between the lines, looking for the metaphors planted there by the author. Ken Eulo is known for giving his tales multiple meanings, and this book does not disappoint.
