4.0 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader, October 9, 2007
This review is from: The Vampire Omnibus (Paperback)
Haining has put together a collection tracing the roots of the vampire story, including some archival recovery of some work that has turned out to be quite interesting.

His introductions to the pieces are quite useful and informative.

The second part of the book traces the vampire through film, and has more in the way of excerpt pieces than stories.

The third then goes back to some short stories by some more 'modern' writers in general, and their takes on some various vampire types.

A solid book for those interested in vampire fiction, or vampires in general.
