There are stories here by men and women from every literary era of the past century and a half, right up to the most talented writers of the present day.
Otto Penzler has put together the ultimate Vampire primer in THE VAMPIRE ARCHIVE with stories written over 150 years including Byron, Keats, Bram Stoker right up to the present day. We are talking more than 1,000 pages of ruined castles and crypts, coffin lids and sharp toothed men doing their thing.
