Fangs for the Mammaries (Baen Fantasy) Mass Market Paperback – September 28, 2010
Purchase options and add-ons
Having inflicted the smug homes of suburbia with witches and werewolves. Esther Friesner now unleashes the undead to tap a vein of blood and humor, and drain the suburbs dry of both.
Vampires and the suburbs are a match made in heaven, or maybe Levittown. Remember Dracula? He didn’t run into any real problems until he took his act on the road and traveled to the Big City. But in the suburbs, everyone is polite and respectful of their neighbors’ right to privacy. And if your neighbors happen to have kids selling gift-wrap, magazine subscriptions, cookies, or other school fundraising ploys, and little Emily or Jason happen to come peddling their wares after sundown . . . Who says you have to stay in the city if you want good take-out meals delivered right to your door? There’s no one quite like a vampire for saying, “All of you kids get off of my lawn!” and putting some teeth into it.
The stories in these pages—by Sarah A. Hoyt, K.D. Wentworth, Dave Freer and more, including Esther Friesner herself—will convince the reader that vampires and suburbs go together like wine and cheese, gin and tonic, desperation and housewives, marriage and pre-nups. Enter freely and of your own will . . .

About the authors

Hildy Silverman graduated from Brandeis University, with Honors in their Creative Writing track. She had the pleasure of working with advisers Sue Miller, Jayne Anne Phillips, Jay Cantor, and Geoffrey Wolff. She writes primarily genre fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror and mystery), including the short stories appearing in the anthologies listed on this page. Her story, "The Six Million Dollar Mermaid," was a 2015 finalist for the WSFA Small Press Award.
In 2005, Hildy became the publisher and editor-in-chief of Space and Time (www.spaceandtimemagazine.com), which she ran for 12 years. She is also a past president of the Garden State Speculative Fiction Writers and a frequent panelist on the science fiction convention circuit.

Julia S. Mandala (www.juliasmandala.com) was born in Kansas City, MO. She holds a B.A. in history from Kansas State University and a J.D. in law from Tulane University Law School. She is editor of The Fantasy Writers Asylum, an imprint of Yard Dog Press. She enjoys scuba diving, belly dancing and traveling with her husband, Larry.

Lucienne Diver is the author of the Vamped young adult series (think Clueless meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer), the Latter-Day Olympians urban fantasy series of magic, myth, murder and mayhem, and young adult suspense novels FAULTLINES and THE COUNTDOWN CLUB.
Her short stories have appeared in the KICKING IT anthology edited by Faith Hunter and Kalayna Price (Roc Books), the STRIP-MAULED and FANGS FOR THE MAMMARIES anthologies edited by Esther Friesner (Baen Books), and the Rogue Mage anthology TRIBULATIONS (Lore Seekers Press). Her essay “Abuse” was published in DEAR BULLY: 70 Authors Tell Their Stories (HarperCollins).
On a personal note, Lucienne lives in Florida with her husband and daughter, the two cutest dogs in the world, and enough books to fill an entire store and perhaps some day collapse the second floor of her home into the first. She likes living dangerously.

Definitely a recommended read for any urban fantasy fan.
- Introduction by Esther M. Friesner announces the winner of the title contest and provides a little more information.
- Overbite by Jody Lynn Nye tells of a human passing as a vampire.
- "In Music Be the Food of Love" by David Freer relates the trials of a vampire with a wayward daughter.
- Soccer Mom SmackDown by Julia S. Mandala confronts a vampire mother with a girl who bullies her son.
- Tecate for Hecate by Kevin Andrew Murphy takes a magician to Hecate for help, but he is a little short on the bottles of beer.
- Miss White-Hands's Class Goes Shopping by K. D. Wentworth reveals the events of a night class field trip to a shopping mall.
- A Matter of Blood by Sarah A. Hoyt provides Agnes with a greater understanding of her boss.
- Sarah Bailey and the Texas Beauty Queen by Lee Martindale shows the advantages of a good double kick.
- Family Matters by David D. Levine involves Julian with a Romanian vampire, which irritates Liz.
- Sappy Meals by Hildy Silverman explains the problem of groupies leaping into the arms of confused vampires.
- Fruit of the Vein by Lucienne Diver presents an engagement party with a dead body in the coat room.
- Stick or Treat by Daniel M. Hoyt introduces a divorcee to Halloween in a vampire community.
- Food Quart by Selina Rosen regards a vampire security guard who is a little late in his rounds.
- Dazed and Confused by Susan Sizemore puts a vampire father in the power of a human extortionist.
- Trampire by Robin Wayne Bailey places a blues magician in a very exciting situation.
- Vampless by Sarah Zettel frustrates a closely guarded girl looking for a vampire of her own.
- The Goth Girl Next Door by Linda L. Donahue has a retired monster hunter moving into the neighborhood.
- Long in the Tooth by Esther M. Friesner deals with a man who prefers older women, but is snared by a conniving golddigger.
- Bella and the Flying Lugosi by Laura J. Underwood brings a new family of vampires into the mansion next door to a Van Helsing.
- Bait and Switch by Steven Piziks concerns a private investigator who specializes in vampire beaus.
These tales explore the field pioneered by the Addams Family. Most of the puns are contained in the Introduction, but a few more are squeezed in here and there. And the humor shines within each story.
Unfortunately, this is the last volume in the series (notify the publisher if you want more). Still, Chicks Ahoy is coming out soon. Read and enjoy!
Recommended for Friesner fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of preternatural creatures, suburban intrigue, and fangy folks.

1. Esther Friesner's 'Introduction' was brilliant. Tragically, her story 'Long in the Tooth' was rather weak and pedantic.
2. David Freer's 'If Music Be the Food Of Love...' was simply awesome. I simply MUST read more of his works.
3. Hildy Silverman's 'Sappy Meals', despite its American suburb setting, was incredibly British in its dry (bloodless?) humour. Loved it totally.
Apart from these three, there were several readable works, full of alcohol, hormone, sex or suggestions thereof. I went through them deriving small pleasures. But the above-mentioned three would remain a genuine delight.
Friesners Autorengemeinde nimmt nicht nur die sprichwörtlichen amerikanischen Vorstädte mit ihrer Ereignislosigkeit, Gleichförmigkeit aber auch Bigotterie aufs Korn, gewisse gerade aktuelle Vampirromanzen bekommen auch schön ihr Fett weg. Sie versammelte in diesem Buch Größen wie Jody Lynn Nye, David Freer (ja, auch Männer), Sarah Zettel oder Linda L. Donahue neben einer ganzen Reihe anderer.
Einige der Geschichten sind praktisch Fortsetzungen von anderen in den früheren Büchern, aber die meisten stehen für sich. Dabei sind das kaum humoristische Stories, aber wenigstens gehen sie immer gut aus. Man kann sie trotz ihres Inhaltes eigentlich nicht zum Horror rechnen.
Wer Englisch liest und Kurzgeschichten voller für das Genre ungewöhnlicher Sichtweisen und Humor mag, sollte die Reihe der Chicks-Bücher probieren.
