Vampires in the Lemon Grove is hit-and-miss story telling. Out of the eight stories, two are confirmed hits: Reeling For The Empire and Proving Up, and two are definite misses, The Barn at the End of Our Term and Dougbert Shackleton's Rules for Antarctic Tailgating. The rest are middle-of-the-road. But even the misses can be considered worthy efforts. In every story the author is pushing the bounds of imagination, in fantastical ways. While the story of former presidents dealing with their reincarnation as horses stabled together in a barn didn't work for me as a story, the concept will probably stay with me forever. Overall, the volume is worth reading and I'll be coming back for more of this author's work.

I enjoyed this book of short stories. i listened to it which was very interesting - each story was read by a different reader. the stories started out very serious and rather dark and peculiar, but soon lightened up a bit. she's a very unique story teller.
Not my thing. I could not get interested in these stories.
