The novel that vampire fans have been thirsting for...the newest addition to P.N. Elrod's popular series The Vampire Files. Called "fast...intriguing," by Science Fiction Review, and "good-natured fun" by Locus, P.N. Elrod's series The Vampire Files has captured the imaginations of vampire fans and mystery readers alike. Jack Fleming, a vampire detective, makes his "living" on the mean streets of post-prohibition Chicago. As he struggles to fight the gangsters at large, he is also trying to sustain an ordinary life. At least, as ordinary as it can get when you're a vampire... Death hasn't ended Jack Fleming's problems. His girlfriend, Bobbi, has caught the attention of a famous radio star, who promises to open doors for the lovely singer - including the one to his bedroom. His current case-retrieving incriminating letters from the ex-lover of a rich, foolish young socialite looks simple until bullets start flying. Now Jack's mortal partner is in the hospital. Who's behind the gun? The ex-lover? The radio star's goons? An old enemy? Jack has to find out the truth-before the lives of those he loves are put at risk...

I love P.N. Elrod's "The Vampire Files" series (beginning with Bloodlist and most recently, Lady Crymsyn) mainly because they contain one of the most fascinating characters I've ever encountered--Charles Escott.The series in a nutshell: It's 1930's Chicago. Private agent Escott has joined forces with vampire Jack Fleming to rid the world (or at least, Chicago) of evil. The story moves along at a quick pace, and Elrod's characters are wonderful. My only complaint is that before The Dark Sleep, there simply wasn't enough Escott! I know, I know! It's the VAMPIRE files, not the Escott Files, but still!
Charles Escott is, well, basically Sherlock Holmes of 1930's Chicago! The steely gray eyes, the brilliant feats of deduction, complete with Sherlockian habits and characteristics are here--even the insomnia! In the first five books of the series, Elrod drops hints here and there about Escott's background, but we never really find out what he's all about. Why is he in Chicago? Why did he become a private agent? He's an enigma. In The Dark Sleep, we finally get an entire novel focusing on the mystery behind this man and his motives. You won't be disappointed.

The Dark Sleep Vampire Files Book 8 (Audible Audio Edition) PN Elrod Johnny Heller Audible Studios Books Reviews
This book was written like the first 6 and it was awesome! It was great to finally find out about Escott's past. It made everything come together. Definitely a MUST READ!
Can't seem to put her books down once I start.
Not the eighth book in this series. I think it's great, well written as parts of Escott's past are revealed. Have fun reading it!
The Dark Sleep is indeed an excellent addition to The Vampire Files. I've read them all and really thought the last few before The Dark Sleep were getting a little stale -- they seemed to have the same story line over and over. Now we get to learn a good deal more about Escott and see the friendship between the somewhat bumbling Jack and Escott grow deeper. Escott has a big secret and something terrible to live with from his past and it all comes out here.
And lots not forget Bobbi!!
Jack Fleming works a lot better when the focus on his detective work is a lot narrower. Unlike "A Chill in the Blood," where he tries to stop a gang war, this time around our Vampire Detective is involved in a more traditional mystery involving a young socialite. Meanwhile, Jack's gal pal is trying to advance her career through a slick radio star. Just because Jack is dead does not mean he doesn't have feelings. As always, Elrod does a nice job of combining genres. Why are we surprised that vampires and noir go so well together?
I read the other books in this series and although they were a bit bland, I did find them somewhat enjoyable. That was a few years ago. I picked up The Dark Sleep two days ago and attempted reading it. I made it to page 90. I normally can finish a book in a day, sometimes two. By the time I reached page 90 of this one I was asking myself "So what's the conflict?" I found no major conflict in this story. How can you have a story without conflict? Perhaps something will come up later on, but I'm just too bored with it to read on and find out. As far as I'm concerned, every great author knows you should introduce the problem early on to hook the reader. I'm SO not hooked!
Sorry, but I can't imagine myself ever returning to this series or author.
This book was a wonderful addition to the Vampire Files, chronicaling the unlife and times of vampire journalist/P.I. Jack Fleming. I was really intrigued by Escott, and I am happy that we found out more about him in this book. The story was superb, though for some reason, reviewers seem to be hooked on overplaying the whole "case" that Jack and Escott are on. I found Jack and comp. personal problems much more interesting, although, I must admit, the case WAS...funny. As the writing, which is as always superb, I have to say it here. This book, and all Elrod's books have such a wonderful flow to them. The lines don't sound rehearsed and characters do have little problems they must address,just like the rest of us, such as parking, which some books/shows/movies always ignore. Wonderfully written! Brava!
