Publisher's Summary

A Mass Murder. A Disappearance. A Cemetery Ransacked.

It looked like another ordinary day in Los Angeles. Then night came...Evil as old as the centuries has descended upon the City of Angels - it comes as a kiss from the terrifying but seductive immortals. Slowly at first, then by the legions, the ravenous undead choke Los Angeles with bloodthirsty determination - and the hordes of monstrous victims steadily mount each night.

High above glitter city a deadly contest begins. In the decaying castle of a long-dead screen idol, the few remaining human survivors prepare to face the Prince of Evil and his satanic disciples. Whilst the very forces of nature are called into play, isolating the city from the rest of the world and leaving it at the mercy of the blood-hungry vultures of the night...They Thirst

Fantastic!!!

Great novel from a very diverse writer. I have been reading Robert R. McCammon miscellaneous novels outside his series. He definitely can write on a variety of subjects and create very interesting storylines. I have totally enjoyed his diversity and character development. Looking forward to whatever more this writer can produce!!!

Excellent Vampire Novel

Wow, awesome vampire novel! I remember the title from when I was younger and though it is influenced by ‘Salem’s Lot, it is its own beast. One with lots of fangs. Solid characters and interesting villains, McCammon is a great writer! I loved Swan Song, and will read The Wolf’s Hour next. Highly recommend if you like horror and/or vampires. Really flows and hard to put it down.

Thrilling then and now.

This is one of Robert McCammon's early works from the 80's yet, all these decades later, it holds up.... in a low-tech sort of way. But age-old vampire horror knows no timeline as proven with They Thirst, as thrilling today as it was all those years ago. Of course, Ray Porter is, as usual, a brilliant narrator.
