This was a long, long, book of short stories, and since some were better than others, it's hard to judge the book. But, I still will, a bit.
Though not as creative, original, unique, or as much variety as the last short vampire stories written by women that I read (Night Bites), the variety and writing was still adequate to be interesting and engaging, as well as having decent writers, etc. So while Night Bites was a little better, it was also a lot shorter, and with something like thi More...

While it won't win any awards for cover design, most of the stories in this doorstopper are pretty strong, with some inevitable misses. The much anthologized (and classic) "Luella Miller" and "Good Lady Ducayne" are here, and Connie Willis's "Jack" is always a pleasure to read. Tanya Huff, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, and Tanith Lee are dependably good.
Best read over a long stretch with a story or two at a time.

No matter how many different sorts of literary vampire I encounter, I am still constantly amazed at what can be done with the idea of “vampire.” This collection of stories ranges from the classic, Romantic vampire to vampires who feed on energy in a more subtle way than drinking blood. There is even a puppet vampire who feeds on humans through flowers. Wow.

My favorite was Tanya Huff's story featuring Vicki Nelson and Mike Celluci of her Blood series.
Three or four of the stories were very good, but at 600+ pages, I can't really recommend this as far as reading time required as compared with reading enjoyment. Most were just OK.

I am on book 9 or 10, and they are very boring. Before every story there is a page or two about how great the author is and what other books were written in the past. The stories are to short and sometimes don't even look like they have a meaning. Not well developed. It feels like one big advertisement for other books. Most of the stories are a bit hard to follow due to scattered thoughts and ideas written. The language and sceens are all over. Not an organized and not a clean writing style

One story is FANTASTIC! It's called "Services Rendered" by Louise Cooper, it starts on page 161. I highly suggest it. Some of the other's were very good too and some really weren't. I'm glad I read it even though I felt like some of the stories were a waste of time.

I enjoyed this books of short vampire stories. A nice way to relax in the evening. What a nice what to pass the time with short stories by Anne Rice (Goddess of the Vampires), Poppy Z. Brite, and many more.

I've been reading this book in dribs and drabs for something like a year and a half now. I'm not massively into horror fiction, so I just pick it up every so often.

This was not a particularly impressive collection of stories, with only a few being truly interesting.
