5.0 out of 5 stars As the cover says, Two Centuries of Great Vampire Stories Sep 23 2000
By AmazingMrKimble
Format:Hardcover
This collection edited by Alan Ryan is as good a collection of vampire stories as you are going to find. The book begins with a the story fragment by Lord Byron on which John Polidori based 1819 story "The Vampyre" and ends with contemporary works by Tanith Lee and Chelsea Quinn Yarbo. In between you will find works by Bram Stoker, Algernon Blackwood, Clark Ashton Smith, August Derleth, Fritz Leiber, Richard Matheson, Charles Beaumont, Robert Block and Chelse Quinn Yabro. There is even an excerpt from the infamous "Varney the Vampyre, or, the Feast of Blood." Consequently, while there is not a lot of depth, the breadth of vampire literature is more than adequately covered.
