One of the Horror Writers Association's Top 40 Horror Books of All Time—the story of a troubled soldier and his bizarre, violent obsession with vampirism.

At the height of an unnamed war, a soldier is confined for striking an officer. Referred to as George Smith in official papers and records, the prisoner comes under the observation of Army psychiatrist Philip Outerbridge, who asks the young man to put his story down on paper. The result is a shocking tale of abuse, violence, and twisted love, a personal history as dark and troubling as any the doctor has ever encountered. Believing the patient to be dangerously psychotic, Dr. Outerbridge must dig deeper into his psyche. And when the truth about the strange case of George Smith is fully revealed, the results will be devastating.

Told through letters, transcripts, and case studies, Some of Your Blood is an extraordinary, poignant yet terrifying, genre-defying novel.

I had read this book several times before listening and already considered it among my all-time favorites and this presentation only solidified that opinion.

Classic and wonderful

I understood why the narrative was some different to my usual taste when I realized the book was written in 1961. However, I enjoyed this audiobook very much. At the beginning, the details do not give much direction. Then, the answers come fast and exciting till the end.

Different Style But Great

This was the most boring book I've ever heard. To be honest, I probably missed half because my mind wandered to anything else. The story sounds like an authors first book, trying so hard to be avant-garde. From the very first lines, it felt tacky. The narrator started out with a certain voice, and then "discovered" the voice of George in the middle of his narrative. I sound pretentious, but the story seems embarrassingly pedestrian.

Sounds like an authors first attempt at a novella.
