Even though it's not likely that those fifteen formerly released vampire tales are literally "the greatest" of their box, they're definitely good written, such a lot by means of unusual authors. past that, it's tricky to make generalizations in regards to the tales during this quantity. a few are lengthy and a few are brief; lots of the vampires are antagonists, yet a number of are strong men, or not less than attempting to do the appropriate factor. there's romance and tragedy, suspense and comedy.
Sillier entries contain "The Bat Is My Brother" through Robert Bloch, an early reliable vampire-bad vampire tale, predictably cliched in its portrayal of the evil vampire, and "Dayblood" via Roger Zelazny, a topsy-turvy point of view on vampires that by no means really overcomes its strained premise. "Valentine from a Vampire" through Daniel Ransom, with its victimized stable vampire and the guy who falls in love along with her, additionally by no means really manages to be convincing. on the contrary finish of the spectrum are the darkly romantic "In Darkness, Angels" by means of Eric Lustbader and Tanith Lee's "Red as Blood," a fairy story long past deliciously bad.

Seldom-reprinted tales comprise Jane Yolen's "Mama Gone," a child's personal story of redeeming the undead, and "Child of an historic City," Tad Williams's vampiric edition at the Thousand and One Nights.

There is a intensity and style to the easiest; the weakest are no less than attention-grabbing as curiosities. even if this e-book has little new to provide the proven vampire fiction collector, it's a strong starting point for a person serious about the range of vampire fiction available.
