The Last Days of Christ the Vampire

I read this book in highschool and absolutely loved it. Such a refreshing and fun read. I had shared it with so many friends that I lost track of it. Now I am finally buying another copy for my teen daughter to enjoy 20 yrs later.

I still read it every now and then, just for a good laugh. I think it has an excellent thought provoking hypothesis and may well be closer to the truth than other current ideas about christ. People complain about the writing, which is average at best, but it was never intended to be high literature. Read it and enjoy . . .

The Last Days of Christ the Vampire is a book that is more than a little reminiscent of Robert A. Wilson's Illuminatus series. Eccarius gives a less than charitable view of Christianity and its founder, and a vision of a world run by a council of vampires that has members ranging from Aliester Crowley to Genghis Kahn. The book is a little disjointed in spots, and leaves the reader with a lot more questions than it answers, but for some that could be a recomendation in and of itself. If you enjoy paranoid conspiracy novels, I can certainly recommend this book without hesitation. If, however, you are an Anne Rice fan looking for yet another incarnation of Lestat. you would be better off looking elsewhere
