Dust Devils is a blood drenched tale that takes a different and refreshing spin on the vampire genre. These blood suckers don't sparkle or make angst-filled boyfriends. They are mean and nasty and are coming for your wife. At least this is what Cody Wilson finds out when the undead come to his town disguised as a traveling theatre group. They cast his star-struck wife as part of the show and don't give her back. While pursuing the actors, he teams up with 12-year old Willlet Black, who has lost his whole family to the same group. High on a bluff outside of town, they learn that the travelers are much more than murderers and that they'll have to take matters into their own hands to destroy the evil that rides in those carriages that only travel at night.
Janz shows in Dust Devils that he has the chops to deliver the goods with a few new twists on an old favorite. If you like your vampires to be evil, ruthless and staining the countryside with blood and gore, you'll love this story. Jonathan steps on the throttle with some extremely gruesome scenes that aren't for the faint of heart. Along the way, he develops interesting characters that you care about. I found myself turning the pages faster as the story went along. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go put the rest of Janz back catalog on my TBR list.
