I finished reading The Evil Seed by Joanne Harris. I was so grateful that I finally achieved something worthwhile during the day. However the pace of the story might be slow and a bit tiresome at some point, but I was still sticking to the storyboard and the sweet literature it has to offer. I found a few words that ain't introduce yet on my vocabulary. Guys were becoming dumb and stupid towards a woman, a damsel in distress, a morbidding and lonely ophelia floating at a river who almost drown which saved by a foolish spectator, the  mishap, runied and marred herione and yet regretted things later on. He should've let The Blessed Damozel drowned, although I was reluctant if the lake could killed her. All of the guys were stupid enough to be blinded and bewitched by a beautiful and disturbingly charming woman. I realized Daniel was being stereotypical. Just because the girl has a angelic features it doesn't implies it wasn't corrupted. And then here's our lovely Robert, another man who believes he can't possibly attracted by any woman not until this witch has arrived into his doorsteps, putting himself on his weakened knees instead and worship the alien entity like no other gods. With another one Joe, in modern times, another victims of her necromancy and spells. Seems the cycle never stops. I'm guessing that The Evil Seed was derived from the blood of Rosemary sowed for the lost that she have found and chosen souls to be requited. She spreads nothing but debauchery, iniquities, blemish and abomination. And then we have Alice got entangled by this events due to her ex-jerk-boyfriend, Joe. Which however, she'd finished the fight between the ancient evil lurking and nightwalkers upon the shadows with the help of a manuscript. The story got similarities to The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde, from which beauty might inflict unbridled desires, poisonous vanities and sins--as what Rosemary possessed a quality of enchantress and attractiveness that spellbinded the men she associated with. Another one would be, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Michael Lawrence, which evilness has came from within, hiding, concealed, in a depths of dream of our soul, just waiting to be awoken thus becoming a full nightmare--when Daniel Holmes embraces his new form rather than denying his fate, he didn't mind much, as what happened to those people who still battling consciousness driving them in a verge of insanity. It also depicted few bible references, like Eliane being raised from the dead--Lazarus being ressurected by Jesus Christ. Moses being chosen by God, like Rosemary had chosen Daniel. Ophelia by William Shakespeare,  Eden by Paul Stuart Kemp, Mars Red & Dracula for vampirism. 

The story was rich in history itself. Importantly, It portrays the greedy, selfishness, jealousy and flawed of humanity that we do possessed. We were engulfed by darkness itself. It was always within, whether you were a vampire or not. We have this lustful thoughts, concealed desires whichever for some moments trying to resurface and keeps insisting with irritation. Like an itch on your skin, tempting enough to be scratch, hoping that the itch would go away when it only worsen the state. 

Additionally, In order to live, we must die. We must taste what is the embodiment of demise and damnation. 

(I'm surprised that I didn't cringe by re-reading this review)
