This vampire anthology runs the gamut from old-fashioned Hollywood vamps to modern psyche suckers, from suave romantic heroes to evil fiends. Since the tales include a little bit of everything, there's sure to be stories to appeal to all vampire fans. I tend to prefer unorthodox stories; here are a few that I enjoyed most.

Tanith Lee's Bite-Me-Not or Fleur de Fur - a love story with a dashing tragic vampire hero.

F.Paul Wilson's Midnight Mass - a good vs evil tale with a satisfying resolution where good triumphs over the dark villains.

Thomas Ligotti's Lost Art of Twilight - I thought the premise interesting although the plot disappointed.

Robert Bloch's The Yugoslaves - a well-worn premise with a mild twist told in a refreshing manner.

Dan Simmons Carrion Comfort - a vibrant energetic tale of vampire vs vampire

C.L. Moore's Black Thirst - features a vampire who drinks not blood but beauty.
