Overall, this is just a pretty ordinary collection. Nothing in here is rubbish, though, so it has that going for it.

This review is from: A Whisper of Blood: 18 Stories of Vampirism (Hardcover)

This review is from: Whisper Of Blood (Paperback)
Another misguided and obnoxious effort from Datlow at "transcending the genre" if you dislike the genre so much go try and manipulate public taste at the Missouri review, Tikun or similar tennis court & lifestyle emporium. The result here is nothing so much as a Harlequin romance bodice & cod-piece sampler.
