Editorial Review: Product Description: In the title story, "Dark Nocturne," D is hired to unlock the secret of a siren's song that is drawing men in their twenties to their deaths in the hills outside Anise Village. In "Notes on Imagined Autumn" D finds himself caught between two lovers during a ritualistic sacrifice in the village of Shirley's Door, but if D can't stop the sacrifice will all in the village be doomed? And in "Legend of the War Demons" two living weapons, genetically engineered creatures who are the last remnants of a war waged hundreds of years in the past, find that battle is not so easily forgotten. It's up to D to stop their unending conflict before it consumes the present as it did the past. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Another great Vampire Hunter D bookI really enjoyed this story. The quality of all the Vampire Hunter D novels is high and this one is another great example of the authors work. Rating:  - Interesting short stories but they were very inconsistent with D's characterThis is the 10th novel in the Vampire Hunter D series. This novel is different from previous novels in that it is actually a collection of three novellas. I didn't realize this when I purchased the book. It was interesting to read short stories about D; I think this material lends itself to a short story type format. The above being said this was probably the worst installment in the Vampire Hunter D series yet. The first story (after which the book is named) is just off. D had a flippant ...

D rides a different colored horse in one of them and they are definitley not lacking in action. I highly recommend this novel. Rating: - A collection of short stories. Not as good as full length ones.I like the Vampire Hunter D series of books. Not too keen on this one though. It's a collection of three short stories. While the scenarios are in keeping with the world D lives in (full of supernatural monsters in the year 12090AD), D seems to be written out of character, as he talks too much. In all his other proper books, he is a person of few words and rarely startled. In hindsight, I would skipped this book and waited for the next one, which I think will be a doozy.
