review 1: A collection of 19 short stories. All are in the vein of light, humorous vampire stories(sorry - I promise that is the last vampire pun).Thankfully most of the stories skip the obvious vampire puns, jokes and bad cliche vampire speaking(I vant to suhk your bluhd).I did have trouble with the interaction between humans and vampires.I just could not see how the situation would work.Others made me wish that the stories were a series with other stories or even novels.The really nice thing some of the stories are part of a series.While the title or premise might not be everyone's cup of tea,I feel it is a case of not judging a book by its cover.(Personally the humor of the title, great Clyde Caldwell artwork and entire premise made me hunt the book out.)The stories are humorous ... moreand well-written.Just proving that just because a story is light, it doesn't mean it can't have a bite to it.(OK this was really the last pun).This collection is well worth the read. It should appeal to any vampire fan, even if they don't normally take humor with their bloodletting.
review 2: I've been taught, as most people no doubt have, to "Never judge a book by its cover". So even though I cringed a little at the title and cover art of this short story collection, I picked it up because I really liked the first book in the series ("Witch Way To The Mall") and liked the idea (stories featuring Vampires in suburbia). Unfortunately, the contents of the book failed to exceed the low expectations that the cover/art gave me. There were two or three stories I liked throughout, but for the most part the authors failed to do anything interesting or innovative with the concept. And each of them might have even been okay if you were reading one vampire in suburbia short story, but putting them all together made the entire endeavour feel bland and uninspiring. less
