Thirty-five uncanny and erotic tales of vampires written by
supernatural fiction's greatest mistresses of the macabre.
"Fashions change, and the urbane vampire created by Byron and
cemented in place by Stoker has had to move on . . . Are you, like
me, ready for the new dusk?" -Ingrid Pitt, from her Introduction
Prepare to arm yourself with garlic, silver bullets, and a stake.
Featuring the only vampire short story written by Anne Rice, the
undisputed queen of vampire literature, and boasting an
autobiographical introduction and original tale by Ingrid Pitt, the
star of Hammer Films' The Vampire Lovers and Countess Dracula, this
is one anthology that every vampire fan-vampiric feminist or
not-will want to drink deep from. From the classic stories of Edith
Wharton, Edith Nesbit, Mary E. Wilkins-Freeman, and Mary Elizabeth
Braddon to modern incarnations by such acclaimed writers as Poppy
Z. Brite, Nancy Kilpatrick, Tanith Lee, Caitlin R. Kiernan, and
Angela Slatter, these blood-drinkers and soul-stealers range from
the sexual to the sanguinary, from the tormented Good to the
unspeakably Evil. Among those memorable Children of the Night you
will encounter are Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's Byronic vampire
Saint-Germain, Nancy A. Collins' undead heroine Sonja Blue, Tanya
Huff's vampiric detective Vicki Nelson, and Freda Warrington's
age-old lovers Karl and Charlotte. Nominated for the World Fantasy
Award and the International Horror Guild Award, and now revised and
updated, The Mammoth Book of Vampire Stories by Women fulfils the
bloodlust of the somnambulist horror fan, delivering the ultimate
bite.
