Apologies for the late replies- I actually forgot about the post for so long that I forgot I was even looking for this book until it poppped back into my head today. ^ ^;
Anyway- yes! These are the books in question!
Bites: Scary Stories to Sink Your Teeth Into / Bones: Terrifying Tales to Haunt Your Dreams for the link. I'm glad you found it. Onto the double-sided list it goes!
If you turned it around, you could read the other book.
I most likely got it from a Scholastic flyer or book fair at the time.
I recall it being very thin, like a chapter book, and possibly black in color.
I mostly recall one story where the character was, as described from their perspective “ V. African American” (v being for vampire). The story ended with the main character drinking a school bully’s blood.
The title of this story may have been “doing it old school” or something similar.
The only other thing I can recall is a fragment of another story where the main character recalls how a fellow vampire had chipped their fang on a Blackberry.
(As in the phone, though child me didn’t get that and thought said vampire was just really bad at being a vampire.)
If nothing else, this places the time period for this book pretty firmly in the 2000’s to early 2010’s.
I don’t know if the anthology was exclusively vampires, or if only one half was vampires and the other something else, or if there were just a lot of vampires in general?
I think the title of the book- or at least one half of it- may have had “bite” in it, perhaps in some sort of spooky pun, but I don’t know for sure and honestly, this really wouldn’t narrow down much in a search for any horror, stories, let alone vampire stories specifically.
That’s all I can remember.
