Explore the origins of vampire fiction through fifteen chilling tales of bloodsucking mayhem!
From Gothic horror and traditional folklore to satire, psychological horror, and even romance, these tales introduce a diverse cast of undead characters-including literature's first Black vampire, gay and lesbian vampires, psychic vampires, some old, some young, but all share an unquenchable thirst for blood!
This anthology also features the first vampire story ever set in the Carpathian region (The Mysterious Stranger, a possible influence on Bram Stoker), as well as Stoker's own story Dracula's Guest, excised by his publisher from his classic Dracula novel before release.
