They're lurking under the cover of darkness ... and between the covers of this book. Here, in all their horror and all their glory, are the great vampires of literature: male and female, invisible and metamorphic, doomed and daring. Their skin deathly pale, their nails curved like claws, their fangs sharpened for the attack, they are gathered for the kill and for the chill, brought frighteningly to life by Bram Stoker, Fritz Leiber, Richard Matheson, Robert Bloch, Charles L. Grant, Tanith Lee, and other masters of the macabre. Careful--they are all crafty enough to steal their way into your imagination and steal away your hopes for a restful sleep.… (plus d'informations)
Thirty-two short stories with a vampire theme. In chronological order. Contains hard-to-find stories such as "The Vampyre" by John Polidori (1819) which was probably stolen from Lord Byron, whose own 1816 attempt at a vampire story is also included. In addition, you'll find "Varney the Vampyre, or the Feast of Blood" by James Malcom Rymer (1845); "Carmilla" by J. Sheridan Le Fanu (1872); "for the Blood is the Life" by F. Marion Crawford (1911), and so many more.
Many of these literary vampires are referenced in other vampire fiction, making this collection a "must-have" for the serious vampire aficionado. ( )
The Penguin Book of Vampire Stories is the definitive collection of short tales of those deadly bloodsuckers. Editor Alan Ryan includes a wide range of talents here, from Bram Stoker to Robert Bloch to Tanith Lee.

Judging from the vampire fiction written in the last two hundred years, there seem to be as many different kinds of vampires as there are kinds of cats in T. S. Eliot's poetic catalogue: every sort from lyrical to satirical, from categorical to metaphorical.
