The Vampire Tapestry Copertina flessibile – 18 marzo 2025
Opzioni di acquisto e componenti aggiuntivi
Tor Essentials presents new editions of science fiction and fantasy titles of proven merit and lasting value, each volume introduced by an appropriate literary figure.
The Nebula Award-winning reinvention of the vampire novel, described as a "masterpiece" by Guillermo del Toro.
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.
With a new introduction by Nicola Griffith, author of Spear.

Intrigue très molle, je n'ai pas du tout accroché et je n'ai même pas fini le livre.

5,0 su 5 stelle Very original.
Spoiler alert.
This is one of the best vampire novels I have ever read. I'm not a fan of the stereotypical Dracula, Nosferatu, or classic undead vampires, nor do I like cheesy vampires, vampire dramas or soap operas, or teen vampire dramas. I like vampire stuff that has it's own unique take on vampires, and this was a goldmine. A biological vampire who is the only one of his kind who lives alongside his prey with an uneasy empathy with those around him. He isn't undead or supernatural in any way. His condition is purely biological in nature. I didn't like the sexual scene in the book, but that's my preference. Otherwise I think it was a masterpiece, and a modern take on a unique type of vampire who drinks not with fangs, but his tongue. This is the kind of vampire stuff I was searching for for years. The book also explores the mental and physical differences between humans and this vampire, which is very fascinating, and also has some intriguing messages and themes mixed in as well. An excellent vampire novel.

5,0 su 5 stelle Uma das melhores histórias de vampiro
Seja pela pegada intimista, e não de dominação global; seja pela natureza da besta, digamos assim, e pelo contato e descoberta do humano, seja pela discussão filosófica sobre arte e necessidade de sociabilidade de uma criatura que, entre humanos, é predador da espécie. Vale demais a leitura.

2,0 su 5 stelle A big let-down
I have been meaning to read this novel for a long time since it is considered to be a modern vampire classic, but I must say I was profoundly disappointed and didn't even manage to finish it. It is simply long-winded and tedious, and in its efforts to present an up to date psychology(well, Eighties psycho-babble, anyway) of the vampire it loses any sense of atmosphere or narrative tension. Best avoided, in my view.

3,0 su 5 stelle A Different Kind of Vampire, Through the Lens of A Monotonous Life
The book is... okay. It wasn't an unpleasant read by any means. What it was, however, was slow-paced and drawn out, especially when it comes to dialogue and description. The dialogue, however, often does little to advance the plot. I would argue that you could skim until you came across a paragraph that moves the scene forward and miss little. The Vampire Tapestry is a slice-of-life drama about a different kind of Vampire, the normal and well-adjusted kind. This isn't an epic clash of good versus evil, nor is it a dark and mysterious vampire noire. It's neither dark nor scary, rather, it's a sort of morality play pertaining to issues of social justice. I feel like that's why the author spend so much time on characterization and dialogue, but that extra description came at the expense of pacing and plot. All in all, I'd recommend it if you want something to pick apart and read analytically, but not if you're looking for something thrilling.
