Nice collection of vampire stories all written by African American authors. Each story has a unique twist to the vampire legend and I enjoyed them each in turn although some were stronger than others. My favorites were The Ultimate Diet which was actually rather funny with a nice twist at the end, Vamp Noir which has a banished vampire working for the mob and Whispers During Still Moments which is just beautifully written and seemed much more than a short story.

As many others have mentioned this book bears only a passing resemblance to the movie of the same name. Set in the future where citizenship is earned through military service and Earth is under attack from a far off world. What does it mean to be a citizen? What does it mean to be a soldier? What's it like to be a foot soldier in the military of the future? The social and political commentary make this a fascinating read and Heinlein presents an extraordinary view of what the future military might look like.
