Here, in all their horror and all their glory, are the great vampires of literature: male and female, invisible and metamorphic, doomed and daring. Their skin deathly pale, their nails curved like claws, their fangs sharpened for the attack, they are gathered for the kill and for the chill, brought frighteningly to life by Bram Stoker, Fritz Leiber, Richard Matheson, Robert Bloch, Charles L. Grant, Tanith Lee, and other masters of the macabre. Careful—they are all crafty enough to steal their way into your imagination and steal away your hopes for a restful sleep.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The count himself would be well pleased.\" —\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVampire StoriesAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction by Alan Ryan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFragment of a Novel (1816)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Gordon, Lord Byron\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Vampyre (1819)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Polidori\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVarney the Vampyre, or, the Feast of Blood (excerpt) (1845)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJames Malcolm Rymer\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Mysterious Stranger (1860)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnonymous\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarmilla (1872)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJ.
