From INTRODUCTION: What is a vampire? Nearly a century ago, this question wasn't difficult to answer. If you subscribed to the image of the vampire immortalized in Stoker's 1897 novel, Dracula, the vampire was evil incarnate, a creature whose supernatural existence and gruesome means of sustenance contradicted the norms by which civilized human beings measured what was natural and morally proper. With his nocturnal habits, the vampire served as a potent symbol for humanity's unenlightened superstitions; in his evocation of primal darkness, he became a counter-symbol of the divinity who turned the darkness of the void into light.

Short, Sweet and To the Point!,
By Liselle "theperfectgiftcompany" (McDonough GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Vicious Little Vampire Stories (Paperback)
This is a great book when you want a collection of short stories about vampires. It's like Readers Digest with fangs! Some are funny, like Aqua Sancta (a priest blesses his personal "water" to vanquish a vamp) and the one about the plumber who doesn't charge an arm and a leg, just blood. This is a must read for those late nights when you just gotta have a vampire fix, but don't have time for a regular vampire book!
