Pretty good and broad collection
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I first picked up this book while browsing at a book store and was so taken in by the very first story, "Phantoms" that I had to buy it. The book covers the entire spectrum of vampire stories in all ways. Stories first published over 140 years ago as well as modern work appear in this collection. There are also alot of original takes on the vampire story, moving away from the tried and tired stories. Some of the stories are a bit long and may seem to drag on, but with any collection, not every story will be great. If you're a fan of vampire folklore and/or horror you should definitly take a look at this book.
Most importantly it has Master of Rampling Gate - Anne Rice

I probably got this as a ... remainder when I worked at ... around 1995, or maybe it was regular price, not important. This is a collection of short vampire stories by different authors. I don't know where else Anne Rice's first short story "The Master of Rampling Gate" is published other than the oop graphic novel I was lucky to find a long time ago. This is a must have for the vampire fanatic who's just getting into vampires and wants some tastes from classic to modern. Honestly I have only read the Anne Rice story. Other things in the book include Dracula's Guest (Bram Stoker), Close Behind Him (John Windam), and a bunch more by authors I don't really know any other stories by.Mine is published in 1993 which is probably the original publication, ISBN 1555219004.
