Anyone here ever read this? It's pretty fun, it's like Salem's Lot on a much bigger scale. It involved vampires taking over Los Angeles, with some backstory in Hungary at the beginning. It would make a hell of a movie.

I was just thinking, I wonder if it might have been one of the original inspirations for The Terminator. I had this idea partly because of the general setting, Los Angeles, and the basic story about a group of fairly normal, average people trying to head off a really overwhelming apocalypse. But, there are shitloads of books and movies about that general type of thing. What has got me thinking about this right now is that there are some scenes in a police station that gets overrun, although in this case it gets overrun by bats, not Arnold. Also, one of the characters in the police station at the time is named Reece. He is a cop, not a rebel freedom fighter from the future, but just seeing his name in the scenes when the police station gets overrun got me thinking. Also, there is a little back and forth conversation between him and another cop that makes me think of the dialog between Lance Henriksen and Paul Winfield, in The Terminator.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
