Review

Praise for The Vampire Tapestry:
 
“The best vampire novel I've ever read.”
—Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn

“Among the genre's few modern classics.”
The New York Times Book Review

“Devastatingly powerful.… Savage and intense and brilliantly satisfying.… rich and impressive.… a serious, startling, and revolutionary work.”
The Washington Post

“Probably the best vampire novel ever written.”
Oxford Times

"A consensus classic, so recognized when first published in 1980.... It's a fascinating conception, handled with masterly skill. Nothing better has been done in this, er, vein since Bram Stoker's legendary Dracula in 1897. And, as a pure piece of writing, Charnas' deeply intelligent, disturbing novel may actually be the superior book."
USA Today


Product Description

Edward Weyland is far from your average vampire: not only is he a respected anthropology professor but his condition is biological — rather than supernatural. He lives discrete lifetimes bounded by decades of hibernation and steals blood from labs rather than committing murder. Weyland is a monster who must form an uneasy empathy with his prey in order to survive, and The Vampire Tapestry is a story wholly unlike any you've heard before.

4.0étoiles sur 5 a classic, Jui 17 2003
A truly excellent book made up of three related novellas from the 'life' of Dr Edward Weyland. Entertaining, intelligent, flawless - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Surprisingly this author has also written a light vampire romance under the name 'Brand' - called 'The Ruby Tear' (which I have yet to read)...

2.0étoiles sur 5 Not enough to sink my teeth into..., Mars 28 2002
Does anyone think that Dr. Weyland is a whiney, clumsy and sometimes bratty vampire? I just couldn't get into this book. I would read it, put it down, not come back to it for weeks, until I finally got through it all. I can't explain it, I just wasn't interested in him, or any of the other people in this book. Above anything, I love vampire books, and this book just didn't cut it for me. About the only thing I found interesting was how he fed. Not in the the traditional fang in throat method, but a clever "tongue stinger" type device. Other than that, the rest just faded away.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A vampire walks among us, Aoû 12 2001
Par M. A. Ramos (Florida USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
The Vampire Tapestry is the story of dream researcher and vampire Dr. Edward Weyland. This is a very unique vampire story. Unlike the horror stories we are use to, here we have a complicated creature without fangs or any of the other things we expect; but he still needs blood. The main character, the vampire, gets kidnapped and after escaping begins talking with a psychologist. He is not the stereotyped vampire at all and the author does not make him sad, pitiful, or sexual in any way. A very good read and something different. This type of vampire could actually exist...

Probably the best of the "revisionist" vampire novels. The writing is excellent throughout: at times, especially at the end, it becomes quite haunting. Read more
