4.0 out of 5 stars love in vein: not read in vain, 15 Oct 1996
By A Customer
Poppy Z. Brite, one of the best new authors of dark fiction, has taken the time to gather some wonderful tales of vampiry together and bind them into a satisfying book. This baby has not collected dust on my shelf--nor will it on yours. Believe me, you'll want all of your friends to read it. Perhaps the best tale of the lot is Brian Hodge's "alchemy of the throat", a beautifully crafted story of a castrati's venture into a paridoxical world of terror and unmitigated joy. He is bought by an old man with a shady history and becomes his lover only to discover that (what else?) the guy's a vampire. Don't let this alarm you though--most of these stories aren't at all cheesy. There were only about two that i found truly tedious and pointless; the rest are gems. The cool part of the book is not the actual bloodsucking, but the variety of ways in which authors have chosen to express the concept of a vampire. It's not always Dracula or Lestat. Sometimes, it's someone or something who takes one's power away, one's life force. And that is something that we can all identify with. Read Brite's own works for further enjoyment--you won't be sorry.

2.0 out of 5 stars Chosen in vein, 1 April 1999
By A Customer
Much of the works EDITED by Poppy Z. Brite really don't past muster, and in some cases appear to be nother but padding. There are stories that are niether vampiric nor erotic. I was generally dissappionted, although to be fair, occationally captivated. Ideally convince a friend to buy it, and just read their recommendations.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, 13 April 1999
By A Customer
I have read all of P.Z.B books and loved them all, because of the eroticism and characters. This however was not what I had hoped for. I was expecting the stories to be more similar to Brite's writing style. More modern day I guess. I guess I realized Poppy is the only "Vampire" author I enjoy. I am sure to a reader with varied vampire interest would really enjoy this book and it's sequel.
