Summary
Summary
There are places in the world where darkness rules, where it's unwise to walk. Sunshine knew that. But there hadn't been any trouble out at the lake for years, and she needed a place to be alone for a while.Unfortunately, she wasn't alone. She never heard them coming. Of course you don't, when they're vampires.
They took her clothes and sneakers. They dressed her in a long red gown. And they shackled her to the wall of an abandoned mansion—within easy reach of a figure stirring in the moonlight.
She knows that he is a vampire. She knows that she's to be his dinner and that when he is finished with her, she will be dead. Yet, as dawn breaks, she finds that he has not attempted to harm her. And now it is he who needs her to help him survive the day.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Sunshine is a gripping, funny, page-turning, pretty much perfect work of magical literature that exists more or less at the unlikely crossroads of Chocolat, Interview with a Vampire, Misery, and the tale of Beauty and the Beast. It’s not quite SF, and it’s not really horror, and only kind of a love story, and it’s all three while still being solidly Fantastique. It also does that nice thing where the author assumes the readers are smart, and she treats us like we’re smart, and we purr and get smarter and work harder for all that. It’ll be nominated for awards, and win them; in the meantime I really hope it finds its audience, which is, potentially, huge.” —Neil Gaiman
“Fabulous, fascinating, and a whole lot of fun. Step into Robin McKinley’s thrilling, beautifully described world, where you will meet some interesting vampires and a lady who can deal with the creatures of the night.” —Jayne Ann Krentz, New York Times bestselling author
“A smart, funny tale of suspense and romance.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“McKinley [balances] the dark drama with light touches of humor. Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer will feel at home, but McKinley’s novel has its own originality and depth.” —Orlando (FL) Sentinel
McKinley knows very well---and makes her [audience] believe---that 'the insides of our own minds are the scariest things there are.' —Publishers Weekly Starred Review
