Space vampires. Ugh.

Supermind is the worst. Two-thirds of the book is about vampires. I do not want to read about vampires. Furthermore, the three component stories that were jammed into this fix-up "novel" don't cohere at all, and Van Vogt's attempts to tie them together don't work. The best thing—the only good thing—about Supermind is the cover art.

I know that van Vogt's novels are fix-ups, so I shouldn't be surprised, but this one is truly disappointing.
