Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
If you like the kind of things that inspired the teenaged Lumley--he mentions EC Comics, the famous pulp magazine Weird Tales, English monster-movie actor Christopher Lee, and sf-horror writer Richard Matheson--you will warm or agreeably chill to these 13 creepy little yarns. (Another acknowledged and very obvious influence is H. P. Lovecraft; several of Lumley's efforts contribute to the Cthulhu Mythos cycle of stories that Lovecraft started.) Lumley defines vampire broadly, so that it applies to, among others, a faux Arabic version of the ancient Greek Lamia, a lovely and curvaceous member of the Riviera beach elite, a railway-traveling band of seeming devil worshipers, a Cousteau-like marine scientist, a simple young German signpainter, and the revenant Vlad Tepes Dracul himself. It isn't only blood these fiends are after, and still, getting what they want always kills those who have it. This stuff may not be art, but it sure is fun. Ray Olson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book, but buy it from Subterranean Press direct, June 28, 2007
This review is from: A Coven of Vampires (Hardcover)
This is a fanatastic collection of vampire fiction from the esteemed Mr. Lumley and another beautiful production from Subterranean Press. It is a must buy for fans of great vampire fiction.

My only suggestion is to pay a few dollars more and order it direct from Subterranean Press in order to get the bonus chapbook with MORE Lumley vampire fiction. It's one of the highest quality chapbooks I've ever seen.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed !!, July 12, 2007
By Ann W. Lane "Ann W Lane" (Garden Grove, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Coven of Vampires (Hardcover)
I purchase every one of Lumleys books and have for years - this was very disappointing. The stories are left hanging and not up to his quality of work. But I am sure I will continue to purchase his books, I think he is usually a excellent writer. AWL

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader, December 11, 2008
A nice collection of horror stories at 3.46, and it just seems you can see the author there gleefully writing away, maybe a bit of cackling here and there to come up with this entertaining bunch. Some Mythos, some fantasy and a bit of other stuff to be found here.

He blames Dracula, Weird Tales, Matheson and others for this sort of stuff.
