There is a mixture of many different vampire stories in one book. Most of the stories are based off of legends from many cultures, while others are just the author’s view of what a vampire is like in his/her mind. There are poems two poems in it, which go with the stories that were before and after the poem. Nineteen stories that have a range of emotions, such as romance to fear to happiness. Like most vampire stories, all the vampires in this book desire blood.
All together this was an amazing book; I could not put it down. The age group I recommend this to would be teens. Although my favorite stories in Teeth was, The Perfect Dinner Party, Transition, Sunbleached, Sit The Dead, and Things To Know About Being Dead. I bought it April 23rd, and finished it on April 26th. This has become my new favorite vampire book, it was way better than the Twilight Saga. No offence to anyone who likes the Twilight Saga, or the author. This is a must read if you love vampire stories.
