On 1/12 Marjorie Vawter wrote: I have to confess that Field of Blood is not a book I would normally read, mostly because of the vampires. In fact, it sat on my to be reviewed pile for several months before I finally read it. And the only reason I did was because I was asked to proofread the second book in this series, Haunt of Jackals. ... Field of Blood

On 7/27 Michael Covington wrote: I’ll just say it from the outset, I don’t read a lot of fiction. Typically when I do though, I will either read a novel quickly or give up on it quickly. With Field of Blood, I probably would have done the latter, but because I was obligated to write this review (because I am a part of the Nelson ... Book Review: Field of Blood - Eric Wilson
On 7/10 Bill Carrington wrote: This book is Eric Wilson’s first in the series of his “Jerusalem’s Undead Trilogy”. I read a few of the reviews on this book and the ‘experts’ were a bit critical of his writing style. Folks, this one is a fun and entertaining read. It is based on some fact, some legend and some pure fiction. ... Pure Entertainment

On 3/31 Hannah Nielsen wrote: This is book one of Wilson’s Jerusalem’s Undead trilogy. The second book, Haunt of Jackals, is due out in August 2009 but available now for pre-order. The title Field of Blood refers to the Field of Akeldama, where the biblical Judas hung himself. Mostly, though, that’s just a jumping off point. ... Field of Blood by Eric Wilson

On 1/4 Becky Ritta wrote: I've never been one for vampire stories, and I don't know much about the vampire legends. So when I picked up Field of Blood, I wasn't sure what to expect.

On 12/5 Kathleen Fuller wrote: Field of Blood intrigued me for a number of reasons. A vampire story with a redemptive message, a Romanian heroine, a mysterious tie-in to the Akeldama (where Judas hung himself after Christ's crucifixion)--all of these merited a must read for me. I'm happy to say, I wasn't disappointed. Field of Blood ... Book Review: Field of Blood
On 12/5 Diana Brandmeyer wrote: This book troubled me in the beginning. I do not like vampire stories. I was uncomfortable with reading a book about the ‘undead’ who feed on souls and human blood.
