The Mammoth Book of Vampires by Stephen Jones

The modern masters of the macabre bring the dead to life in this special 're-vamped' edition of the classic compilation every horror fan will want to sink their teeth into. Here is the very best in vampire fiction, from tales of tempting sirens to contemporary serial killers; from haunting doppelgangers to nefarious historical figures; from the dark origins of fairy tales to a modern reinterpretation of the King of the Undead himself, Count Dracula. This new edition includes over a dozen new stories from Tina Rath's A Trick of the Dark to Kim Newman's Andy Warhol's Dracula, as well as classic novellas such as Hugh B. Cave's Stragella, and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's Investigating Jericho.



A pretty decent collection of vampire stories. Chosen by Stephen Jones, these are mostly horror stories, not the girl lusts after nightclubbing vampire in tight pants type of thing. Well worth a look for both vampire and horror fans, as an impressive lineup of authors to be found.

"The taxi driver stood over him. There were others, in a circle. A crowd of Fearless Vampire Killers. The silent nun. The black man with wooden knives. The black man with the crossbow. The cop who'd sworn to break the Transylvania Connection. An architect, on his own crusade to avenge a family bled dead by dhamps. The aging beatnik from the psychedelic van, with his smelly tracking dog. A red-skinned turncoat devil boy with the tail and sawn-off horns. The exterminator with the skull on his chest and a flame-thrower in his hands. "
