    4.0 out of 5 stars a good collection of vampire short stories
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2017
    This large book presents a collection of 29 short stories, all about vampires. These tales are by various authors, and date from 1838 through to 1991. Most of the stories are engaging and well-written, although a few of them are less impressive. Nonetheless, as a collection this is an interesting book - offered at a very reasonable price. If you're a fan of the horror genre, with a particular fascination for vampires, I highly recommend this item. It has also been published as "The Giant Book of Vampires".

    4.0 out of 5 stars Bloody good
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 January 2009
    With such a number of stories at this price, no fan of the genre could really complain. Of course, the quality varies, and the need to provide "something for everyone" means that very few people are going to enjoy it all, anyone who enjoys reading about vampires will get a lot of pleasure for a good price.

    4.0 out of 5 stars I rather like this...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 July 2006
    A pretty decent spread of vampire fiction; some contemporary, some 'classic', some subtle, some in-yer-face.

    It is a meaty tome (27 stories, 2 poems = 553 pages), but well worth ploughing through. Like all collections, some stories will shake you harder than others. For me, the tales by F.Paul Wilson (Midnight Mass), Kim Newman (Red Reign), Les Daniels (Yellow Fog) and Howard Waldrop (Der Untergang Des Abendlandesmenschen) are well worth shelling out for on their own.

    If you like vampire stories, I think you will find something to your taste in here. Pretty good value, too.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Great spellbinding page turner.

    One of the best horror collections I ever read. Wonderfully crafted fast-pace, page turner that is sure to captivate the vampire story followers. The characters are real-like and are spellbinding; you'll remember them after the book is put away.This is my second copy, my first has disappear through the passage of time. I made sure I have a hard covered copy for my library.

    4.0 out of 5 stars great classic.....
    Reviewed in the United States on 20 November 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This is a mostly very good anthology of classic and newer stories. Especially liked Barker, Bloch,Campbell,Burke,Copper,Yarbro and last but not least Wellman and Lee. Just to name a few of this wonderful cross section of children of the night stories. I can"t possible understand anyone giving this great collection 1 star. Must have had a bad day. I"ve had some myself. Kidding aside, these are as stated above mostly very good vampire tales.
