Product Description
Product Description
Vampires, those dark children of the night, who rise from their coffins to suck the blood of the living, continue to hold a strange fascination and dread. In this unique collection of vampire stories you will find some of the earliest depictions of these fearful creatures as in John Polidori's The Vampyre and James Malcolm Rymer's Varney the Vampyre, a tale which held readers in thrall when it was first published in the mid-nineteenth century. As well as these rare stories and those featuring the more well known bloodsuckers such as Le Fanu's Carmilla and Stoker's Dracula, there is a clutch of lesser known but equally frightening tales written by expert practitioners in the art of raising goose pimples. Children of the Night is a volume filled with the rich blood of chilling vampire fiction.

WARNING: The title says classic vampire stories so I guess you would expect to find complete stories within this volume BUT this is not the case. I have just purchased this book to find to my horror that the stories 'Varney the Vampyre' is not complete but just an extract of about 16 pages from the original which is around 1,000 pages and, the story of 'Dracula and the Three Brides' is again just an extract of a few pages from Bram Stokers original Dracula, which makes me wonder if any of the stories within this book are complete or are they all extracts from the originals? What a waste of my time and money and what is the point of deceiving people.
Format:Paperback
I do love the Worthworth short stories but this book didnt keep my interest at all. Infact I fell to sleep a few times while trying to get through the blasted thing!
