About the book: 2007 / The new anthology contains thirty-five classic and modern stories about vampires written by such famous authors as Clive Barker, Robert Bloch , Neil Gaiman, Tacitus Lee, Kim Newman, Christopher Fowler, Brian Lumley and others. Mysterious, cruel, aristocratic, sexy, impassive, like death itself, and capable of the most burning passion - vampires have remained an attractive and fashionable topic for more than a century world literature and cinema. Torn out by the eternal darkness or generated by human superstitions; fiends of evil or victims of a fatal illness; bestial bloodsuckers or refined connoisseurs of the scarlet wine of life - vampires will definitely capture, if not your blood, then your relentless attention.
