The titles is a bit misleading, I think. But there are some good vampire stories in there.

Like Haining's other Omnibuses, "Vampire" is a theme, not a guarentee. Exploring the predecessors, contemporaries and children of the big names, Haining offers context and commentary on the genre as a whole.
