5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent collection for vampire fans and scholars, September 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Vampire in Verse: An Anthology (Paperback)

This anthology is an excellent resource for those with a "serious" interest in vampire literature as well as those who just enjoy spooky poetry. The selection is very thorough, ranging from the early 1800s through the 1970s and including classics from Byron, Keats, and Kipling as well as obscure poems that might otherwise be impossible to find. Thorough endnotes give useful information about the poets and the context in which they wrote. This definitely deserves a place on the shelf of any vampire fan.
