Basically the main character is the sole survivor in a word of vampiresque monsters. He tries a bit to find a cure while strugging with intense loneliness. During the night he hides in his fortified house. By day, he goes out and hunts them as they sleep. At the end of the book he is captures and put on trial for his heinous acts. They arent monsters really, its a new society, and he is their boogeyman, killing inocent people while they slept. He is the monster. In this new world he will become a legend of old, the monster in the day.

I'd suggest reading it instead. It's pretty short (130 pages depending on printing) and a good read.
