Product Description

From Booklist

Vampires, werewolves, and witches are always evil, right? Not so, as a spate of recent literature, television shows, and movies has shown us and as editors Thomsen and Greenberg confirm with 13 tales about supernatural do-gooders. In Jeff Grubb's "Lycanthrope Summer," a police chief, told about a werewolf sighting by his daughter's friend, is more concerned about the intentions of the reality TV exec who has come to investigate. James Lowder's "She Dwelleth in the Cold of the Moon" follows Mi Tzu-hsia, who has been dead three years, as she tries to stamp out every living thing in her corner of the beach; however, when a blinded prisoner is abandoned in the woods to die because he claimed the army of the dead was a myth, she is forced to reexamine her actions. In Thomsen's "A Hollywood Tradition," a writer working on a book discovers a Hollywood legend at the hotel he stops at. Tanya Huff, P. N. Elrod, and others round out this fanciful, fun collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tormented by conscience... Nov 17 2003
By Madelyn Pryor
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the latest in a long line of Martin Greenberg anthologies published by DAW. This one is about creatures of the night, werewolves, witches, demons, vampires, and even the dead who have found the road to redemption. Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel will especially love this one.

Of special note is that this anthology contains an original story of Henry Fitzroy, explaining how he spent his time during the inquisition. It also has an original Saint-Germain story about his time during the inquisition.

Some of the authors represented are Jeff Grub, Jody Lynn Nye, Edo Van Belkom, Fiona Patton, Jean Rabe, James Lowder, Tanya Huff, P.N. Elrod, Brian M. Thomsen, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Tom Dupree, and Allan C. Kupfer.

All and all this is yet another fine read and strong anthology by both Daw and Martin Greenberg. Fantasy and horror fans alike are sure to have fun with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars fine anthology for the monster generalist fan Oct 7 2003
By Harriet Klausner TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This entertaining thirteen-story collection focuses on classic monster types like werewolves trying to do the right thing in terms of humanity. The anthology is divided into four subjects ("Werewolves and Witches", "The Dead", "The Undead", and "The Demonic") with three sections containing three stories and "The Undead" with four. The tales overall are well written and are clearly targeted towards modern monsterolists. The authors are a virtual who's who, whom for the most part seem to have a good time providing a contribution. No story is weak, but a bite from "The Undead" section is truly worth the time. THE REPENTANT is a fine short story anthology that the monster generalist fan will appreciate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good quality all around Oct 5 2004
By TammyJo Eckhart - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The introduction mentions things like Buffy and Angel but frankly none of the characters area like that, no 90210 clones here. Instead most of the stories are hard horror with interesting characters trying to either live a "normal life" or finding themselves with new opportunities for changing their status. The book is divided into four sections. The first includes both witch and werewolf stories -- frankly I think these could be separate sections with one more werewolf and two more witch pieces. Next are the stories about the living dead -- zombies, constructs, mummies. Then the vampire section that has four stories and is the largest section. Finally a section for demons which I found the most difficult to empathize with. Overall good quality writing from several well-known horror writers.
