 Rating:  - Not for the Vampire puristsRobert R McCammon is one of my favorite authors, I have practically all of his books and have enjoyed most of them. When I found that he was the editor of this collection of vampire tales, I had to buy it. This is a collection of short stories from various authors, each one a separate tale unlike the Horror Writers of America collection called Freak Show, which was every author writing a chapter in one continuous tale.

They rule our world. They've enslaved mankind as their food source. I found the story of the freedom fighters in the antartic holding out against a military made up entirely of vampires to be engaging. The tired vampire colonel who wishes to have the bloodshed stop was a great character that I wish could have been explored more indepth. The stories are unique and show ... Read More Rating: - Totally Exciting and Almost BelievableThis book is by far one of the greatest anthologies of vampire stories I've ever read. Picture these blood-suckers taking over the world, and how you would re-act as one of the few mortal men left. Browse for similar items by category:
