Vampires, Wine and Roses: Chilling Tales of Immortal Pleasure
by John Richard Stephens (Editor)
On This Page
Description
Seductive. Immortal. Terrifying. Bram Stoker's Dracula may be the most famous vampire story of all time, but terrifying tales of strangely alluring, bloodsucking creatures have been around for centuries and appear in the works of many writers not usually associated with the horror genre.Tags

Featuring a rare story by Anne Rice, a classic chiller by Edith Wharton, and song lyrics by Sting, this eclectic and original collection of vampire stories covers the gamut of genres, from the dark pleasures of Shakespeare to the twilight terrors of Rod Serling.
Stephens stretches the definition of vampire in some of his choice for inclusion in this collection, but then so do many contemporary editors. I enjoyed all of the selections. The book is also well constructed with an etched leather-like cover.
