The Oldest Living Vampire Tells All: Revised and Expanded

The Oldest Living Vampire Saga, Book 1

By: Joseph Duncan

Narrated by: Ian M. Walker

"My legal name where I currently reside in the city of Liege, Belgium, is Gaspar Valessi. But that is not my real name. The name I was given some 30,000 years ago, when I was born in a Paleolithic settlement in the region that is now called Germany - the name my father gave me shortly after I was voided, bloody and howling, from my mother's womb - is Gon."

So begins the saga of the immortal Gon, a 30,000 year-old vampire. This, the first volume of his memoirs, recounts his mortal life in prehistoric Germany alongside his male companion, Brulde, and his two wives, the Neanderthal Eyya and his Cro-Magnon mate, Nyala. It details the fearsome events that lead to his transformation from man to undying monster.

This revised and expanded edition includes new material, adding depth to much-loved characters and more fully realizing the author's vision of the oldest living vampire and the prehistoric world that gave birth to him. By turns beautiful and subversive, poetic and seductive, The Oldest Living Vampire Saga is like no other vampire series you've ever heard!

THEY TOOK OUR OFFERINGS AND THAN THEY TOOK OUR SHAMANS
I have been telling everybody that Joseph Duncan's Zombie novel Cattle: The Fearlanders is one of the best zombie books out there for sometime now. I was hoping his vampire story was as good. For the first couple of hours it was, but than I am a big fan of Jean Auel and her randy cavemen.

FAST FEET
The first couple of hours was devoted to open sexual relationships. This was practiced by early man, according to Duncan. Homo as well as Hetero. I was buying all of it and did not have the same problem one reviewer had with the pre-teen sex. It was not adult and child, but kids playing around and imitating the adults. Even Jean Auel expressed that since sex was not private, little kids would play at the act they see their elders do. Even today kids experiment, so I was not bother by it. The problem was that once Duncan quit writing about sex the story got boring. I listened for over seven hours and the guy was still not a vampire. One reviewer said it was nine hours into the 10 and a quarter hour book before the guy was turned. If you advertise a vampire book, you need a vampire. I have checked the reviews for the sequel and it seems that it does not get much better, so I will not continue this series. If the Zombie series continues and I will definitely listen to that.

Narrator
This guy talks the entire time in a gruff whisper. Okay for awhile, grating over time.

Outstanding story

I thought this was an outstanding story. a 30 thousand year old vampire a story that moves all the way back to the Paleolithic period. Not something I would have thought of a vampire story the narrator did a wonderful job of bringing you into the story

My review

I really loved the different take on the vampire life compared to Anne Rice’s glorious take on her vampire tales. The different tale is a story of a vampire is a WAY different time, a time of harshness and the beginning of man on this earth, a quite different tale. I loved it.

Enjoyed it but will not read the rest of the series

A bit too graphic for me and some disgusting parts that felt unnecessary to be describin. .Also it's repetitive to the point of making me want to rip my hair out and skip parts. The 3 star is only for the story

Great

I loved the story and narrator, something different with Vampires. good work ....need more like this .
