Anthologies

2006

Dark Thirst *** -- edited by Angela C Allen
Overall I think this book is certainly worth the cover price as an addition to my extensive collection--but if all the stories had been as deft and diverse as my favorite two 'Dark Thirst' could have been astounding. [full review]

1997

Love in Vein II * -- edited by Poppy Z Brite
More of the same.

1994

Love in Vein * -- edited by Poppy Z Brite
Adequate.

Blood Kiss: Vampire Erotica*** -- edited by Cecilia Tan
Overall the writing is quite uneven and occassionally amateurish, but there are some genuinely original elements to these stories that make them well worth reading (NB: ADULT CONTENT)

1988

Vampire: Two Centuries of Great Vampire Stories***** -- edited by Alan Ryan
THE collection to start with, containing all the best historical and early modern classics. A great read!

UNDATED (these records under review)

Blood is Not Enough*****
A landmark book and highly entertaining.

Dracula, Prince of Darkness*
An average collect including a lack-luster PN Elrod story.
