This is a throwback to old school vampires as they should be. They are evil, scary and bloody. I knew Michael West would pick awesome tales and he did not disappoint. All the stories were very readable and enjoyable. My favorites from the group were Vampire Nation by Jerry Gordon,The Excavation by Stephen Zimmer, A Soldiers Story by Maurice Broaddus and Robot Vampire by R. J. Sullivan. This book is not for the Twilight fans this is for fans of horror and of Vampires the way they were meant toInteresting collection of stories, some better than others. One with Bram Stoker taking center stage (literally) in a unique spin, and one about Dracula's "Wee Winkie" that goes beyond "too much information" to "what the hell is this author smoking?"More of a 3.5 rating than a 4, but we don't have divisions available.
Review to follow...

Funny and inventive. And not at all cute or filled with angst and unrequited passion.
It is an awesome book. Each story was a completely different take on vampires and each one was creepy and scary in its own way.
As with all anthologies, there are going to be stories you enjoy more than others, but the majority of the stories in this book were enjoyable and a refreshing return to actual horror stories involving vampires.Because some of the proceeds of the book's sales go towards cancer charities, this is definitely a worthy book to add to your collection.On second thought... maybe not if your name is Bella.
