Format:Paperback
Having read previous Wyvern story compilations (including Dragontales) I thought I would give this one a go. Some of the writing is full of painful cliches and hackneyed metaphors, but because the stories are generally fairly short this doesn't grate too badly. In many of the stories the author has turned the vampire myth on its head, or introduced lots of modern elements, which was really fun. I particularly liked the Vamp take on the X factor, and the story in which vampires had become normal suburbanites and it was vengeful humans that stalked the night. Lots of inventive ideas. Probably my favourite story was the one that used the Mexican myth of the 'Chupacabra,' (Me and My Shadow by Justin Carroll.) I liked this because it was one of the few stories that looked at vampires from a completely different angle, AND because the language and story arc felt a lot more sophisticated than in most of the others. Generally an entertaining read and definitely the perfect gift for any teenagers into their vampires!

This is my first taste of vampire stories (if you will excuse the pun!) In all seriousness I started reading, Fangtales on my train journey home and found myself hooked. I especially enjoyed, Vamps Got Talent by Ross Baxter and Into Dust by Shoshana Rowse.

Format:Paperback
Fangtales is full of the more traditional style of vampire stories, although each one has been given a unique twist. The stories are the right length to get you involved, although short enough for you to enjoy the large variety the book has to offer. Perfect for young adults especially if they are dipping into the supernatural genre for the first time.

Not a lover of the vampire genre, I may have been converted! These tales are beautifully written, each leaving you with that feeling you want more of the same when you've finished. Read more
