Lorehaven reviews Amish Vampires in Space

You might bend the laws of physics, but Jebediah Miller was always taught never to break the Ordnung rules. But he feared even more the destruction of his world. That’s why he pushed the button. That’s why he summoned those outsiders to the Amish settlement on Alabaster—a contingency plan to rescue the technologically impaired community and relocate them to a less supernova-prone system.

Alas, this act still brings condemnation. Jeb and his wife Sara can still evacuate with the others aboard the Delivery Guild vessel Raven. But they’ll need to stay in a cabin separate from their people. Once beyond orbit, however, it seems an old-fashioned shunning is no match for new-fashioned techno-horrors lurking in the corridors.

Kerry Nietz fetches laughs with the premise, title, and original cover image of his 2013 sci-fi thriller Amish Vampires in Space. But please don’t point and stare. After a slow start, this story gains momentum until Nietz rights the ship into a classic-feeling outer-space creature feature, complete with secret labs, strange alliances, and the constant threat that innocent victims could turn into vamping predators. . . .¹

Best for: Adults and older teen readers un-spooked by sci-fi vampirism.

Discern: Creature violence, horror and other thematic elements, disputes between Amish and others over topics such as cultural participation and self-defense, scant descriptions of vampirism-afflicted Amish persons acting in provocative ways, ethical challenges related to human genetics tampering.

Guild heroes can join monthly Main Quest parties that travel into the fantastical worlds of new books. We will explore these stories’ beauty, goodness, and truth (and opposites!), applying their meanings to the real world of our ultimate Author.

All of our Lorehaven quest guides follow a Sacred Scrolls faith statement.

Every hero must uphold the Code of Honor to respect Jesus and other heroes, avoid vulgar language, celebrate great stories, and keep to the Quest road.
