Product Description

Product Description

Modern masters of the macabre bring the dead to life in this specially re-vamped edition of the classic compilation every horror fan will want to sink their teeth into.

From an award-winning editor who knows the genre backwards, here is the very best in vampire fiction: from tales of tempting sirens to contemporary serial killers; from the dark origins of fairy tales to a modern reinterpretation of the King of the Undead himself, Count Dracula.

This revised edition features over a dozen new stories, including Tina Rath’s A Trick of the Dark and Kim Newman’s Andy Warhol’s Dracula, as well as classic novellas such as Hugh B. Cave’s Stragella and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro’s Investigating Jericho. There are contributions by Nancy Kilpatrick, Christopher Fowler, Paul Mcauley, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Tina Rath, Neil Gaiman, Harlan Ellison and Kim Newman.

About the Author

I rather like this... 9 July 2006
Format:Paperback
A pretty decent spread of vampire fiction; some contemporary, some 'classic', some subtle, some in-yer-face.

It is a meaty tome (27 stories, 2 poems = 553 pages), but well worth ploughing through. Like all collections, some stories will shake you harder than others. For me, the tales by F.Paul Wilson (Midnight Mass), Kim Newman (Red Reign), Les Daniels (Yellow Fog) and Howard Waldrop (Der Untergang Des Abendlandesmenschen) are well worth shelling out for on their own.

If you like vampire stories, I think you will find something to your taste in here. Pretty good value, too.

Ranging from over 100 hundred years ago up to the early nineties, the stories selected are those from the top writers of the horror genre. They are all based loosely on Vampirism, more about situations where blood or the lifeforce is taken, more than the dark cloak and fangs type vampire, and none of the more modern version of he sympathetic erotic vampires. A great quick sample of learning about the many kinds of stories told around this theme, by great writers though. I greatly enjoyed it - and it only cost me a penny on top of postage so all good!!

Bloody good 18 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
With such a number of stories at this price, no fan of the genre could really complain. Of course, the quality varies, and the need to provide "something for everyone" means that very few people are going to enjoy it all, anyone who enjoys reading about vampires will get a lot of pleasure for a good price.
