Vampire Alley, by bestselling mystery and paranormal author J.R. Rain, is a spine-tingling, micro-story in a poem about a boy who comes face-to-face with dangerous creatures of the night...

In Vampire Alley, a free-verse poem set in the world of Samantha Moon, a boy obeys a compelling urge to leave the safety of his bedroom and wander his neighborhood at night.

In a dream-like state, he finds himself in a dark alley—but he’s not alone. Indeed, the boy becomes the sole eyewitness to a crime in progress, a despicable and horrific attack.

He doesn’t believe in monsters or vampires. So this must be a nightmare...

I've never had an experience with a novella such as this one. A novel written in poem form. I was surprised but enjoyed it very much.

4.0 out of 5 stars A short, interesting collection of short poems by Rain.
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2019

This collection of short, free verse poems was an enjoyable and very quick read. I would recommend it for any J.R. Rain fans, and or readers who enjoy or want to try short and often funny or sweet poems. I don’t believe it is vital addition to the main series “A Vampire For Hire.”

As is often the case for collections I found the current book description a little lacking in detail. There are 10 poems. Only the first poem seems to take place in the Samantha Moon Universe.

*POSSIBLE SPOILERS *

“Vampire Alley” - About a 5 min read, which Rain’s author notes ( in other books) seem to indicate should be read after first “Moon Dragon” (The Vampire for Hire #10) and then “Vampire Requiem” (A Samantha Moon Story #9) and finally “Moon Love” (ASMS # 10).

“Red Riding Hood”- A funny twist on a classic fairytale.

“The Lion and The Rabbit” - This reminded me a little of the frog and the scorpion parable.

“The Earth” - A poignant single question.

“Ogre, Ogre”

“The Moon and The Sun”

“The Old Cat in The Hat” - A cynical take on Dr. Seuss’ character the cat in the hat and the popularity of reading today.

“Silver Spoon”

“Tyrannosaurus Rex”

3.0 out of 5 stars It's okay

I own every novel, novella, and short story written by J.R. Rain in the Vampire for Hire series, Samantha Moon Stories, and Samantha Moon Case Files. Of course I had to buy the Samantha Moon poem. Honestly, it is a rip off at $0.99 which is apparently the minimum price you can sell something for on Amazon. I'm sorry, but that is just too much to expect someone to pay for a poem that took maybe five minutes to read. And that was only about half of the book. The rest was a collection of shorter poems, most of which made me wonder what I just read. They just weren't that good and detracted from the value rather than adding to it. As for the main poem, Vampire Alley, I did like it and my Samantha Moon collection remains complete. This is an honest of a review as I can provide. I honestly wish I'd felt it had more value because I love J.R. Rain and his work is usually 5 star worthy; however, this time the best I can say is "It's okay."

Vampire Alley A Samantha Moon Poem by J. R. Rain

A collection of poems with a subtle paranormal twist. Have to say I have loved J. R. Rain's stories and now I have to concede I love his poetry as well. This will definitely be a collection I reread frequently. If you love the Samantha Moon series you will really enjoy the poem Vampire Alley.

The book is about all about different types of creatures. That kills at night. They pick a victim and feed from them until they are dead.

Being a poet myself, I was very eager to read this, and I wasn't surprised.
JR Rain is a very talented writer, (I'm a Sam Moon & Jim Knighthorse fan) and it was very refreshing to read "something different" by him.

I LOVE The Earth poem.

For your first attempt, JR, this was awesome. I hope you write more poems, you have a knack for them!
