Edward Weyland is far from your average vampire: not only is he a respected anthropology professor but his condition is biological -- rather than supernatural. He lives discrete lifetimes bounded by decades of hibernation and steals blood from labs rather than committing murder. Weyland is a monster who must form an uneasy empathy with his prey in order to survive, and The Vampire Tapestry is a story wholly unlike any you've heard before.

Industry Reviews

"The best vampire novel I've ever read." --Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn

"Among the genre's few modern classics." --The New York Times Book Review

"Devastatingly powerful.... Savage and intense and brilliantly satisfying.... rich and impressive.... a serious, startling, and revolutionary work." --The Washington Post

"Probably the best vampire novel ever written." --Oxford Times

"A consensus classic, so recognized when first published in 1980.... It's a fascinating conception, handled with masterly skill. Nothing better has been done in this, er, vein since Bram Stoker's legendary Dracula in 1897. And, as a pure piece of writing, Charnas' deeply intelligent, disturbing novel may actually be the superior book." --USA Today
