This short novel started with an intriguing presence. An engaged man meets a mysterious woman in subway, is smitten and desperately seeks to find her.  What I thought would be a psychological thriller turns out to be a ….. horror story, specifically a vampire story.  I realize this was 1980, and we were not then inundated with everything Vampire, but come on, the ending is gruesome, as in bloody and with body counts. Oh well, another one bites the dust, so to speak!!
