review 1: Reading this collection of vampire stories back-to-back has the slight disadvantage of wanting to shake all the characters by the shoulders saying "don't you understand why so-and-so is wasting away; their blood is being sucked out of them!" Aside from that consistent element in every story (and really, it wouldn't be a vampire story without it) the stories themselves were varied, interesting and largely well-written. A great Halloween read!
review 2: This book really surprized me. I love vampire stories and have read a lot of them, but I hadn't read almost this entire book. The selections are interesting, showing the history of vampire mythology through lesser known stories and nonfiction histories. Michael Sims' introduction was a wonderful compliment and ... morehis explanations of why he chose the stories were almost as interesting as they were. I definately recommend it to vampire fans and Victorian literature fans. less
