Ah, good one Fran, i actually saw the movie "Let the right one in" which is about a vampire girl, oh well close enough!Fran wrote:Mike I think you are thinking of a different book ... there are definitely no vampires in Never Let Me Go. It is IMO a great book but I am a great fan of Kazuo Ishiguro.

It would not be 'horror' genre but a scary, thought provoking view of where science may be taking the human race & what kind of developments may well become 'acceptable' in the future ... saying no more - read the book
