Overview
The Penguin Book of Vampire Stories is the definitive collection of short tales of those deadly bloodsuckers. Editor Alan Ryan really captured a wide range of talents here, from Bram Stoker to Robert Bloch to Tanith Lee -- more than 30 stories of bloody good fun. Usually it's considered bad form for an editor to include one of his own stories, but this book proves to be the exception to the rule -- Ryan's "Following the Way" is one of the best vampire short stories ever written. It's one of many masterpieces in this must-have volume.Collected here are 32 stories featuring the frightening creature--the vampire. Just in time for Halloween, this character will be shown in all its forms--male, female, alive, undead, on the prowl, in the bedroom, hungry and hedonistic, doomed and daring.
