4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting work--divergent styles., April 8, 2000

By	Beth Szymanski "ethannie" (cincy, ohio) - See all my reviews

Not all the stories nestled between the covers of this anthology are what I would have thought of as my style, but I was drawn into them all the same. True Love came closest to actually rattling my bones, but every single one of these stories is awesome to read--not too flowery and they definitely have a tinge of eroticism to them. Go to your local used book store and hopefully you'll be able to grab this fantastic find!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader, August 3, 2007

By	Blue Tyson "- http://freesf.blogspot.com" - See all my reviews

Overall, this is just a pretty ordinary collection. Nothing in here is rubbish, though, so it has that going for it. There is a bit of commentary in the fact that vampires are tired and old and boring. So are police detectives, but people still seem to enjoy that sort of character in a lot of books. So is vampirism as metaphor, come to that, and a whole bunch of that here. If it is vampire stories you are after, definitely don't buy this unless its cheap.
