I good collection of vampire stories. Especially with the older ones you get to see how the vampire mythos evolved and you notice which themes carry on into other works. I marked some of my favorites, which were usually scary or sexy. The vampire is, to me, best played in stories about control. That's what I mean when I say sexy, a vampire should be the representation of not being able to control yourself around what you want, whether it's blood (literally for vamps) or sex or alcohol, etc. So some of the more puritanical, we kill the vampire and go home at the end, stories weren't really my speed. I want to see people struggling between what is "right" and what they want. I want to read about some feral people/vampires.
Some of the stories weren't even about traditional blood sucking vampires but energy vampires, which was also a good choice on the editor. Most of the stories I enjoyed, only a couple I ended up skimming. On the table of contents I started all the ones I really liked so I could revisit them later.
