review 2: Ho preso questo libro per avere una visione più ampia sul mondo dei vampiri e avere in un unico libro diversi stili narrativi. Posso dire che, fondamentalmente, l'ho comprato per imparare. Alcuni racconti mi sono piaciuti, altri mi hanno lasciato un po' l'amaro in bocca, come finale e in generale come tipo di storia; ma ovviamente capita quando il testo è variegato. In conclusione, questo libro mi è piaciuto, ma lo sconsiglio a chi non ama storie brevi e vuole una full immersion. Io ho trovato il libro a un ottimo prezzo, quindi non mi pento dell'acquisto. less
