Returned to library. This book is very long, I only got through the intro

One or two of the stories in this are good including the last two but the rest are pretty awful. Overall a waste of time.

The usual mixed bag of a collection. I liked the chronological-by-story-setting organization, and the history of women writers and vampire stories at the beginning of the collection.

The best of these were very, very good. The one about Oscar Wilde was sort of interesting, I just prefer the more modern takes, although I realize the debt they owe to the classic form. I found The Unicorn Tapestry obscurely annoying and I can't really figure out why. Stand-outs were The Power and The Passion by Pat Cadigan, Greedy Choke Puppy by Nalo Hopkinson, and the last three stories in the book (I read The Coldest Girl in Coldtown again happily at every opportunity). Father Pena's last dance had some images so striking that they're still vivid in my mind. Solid collection.

Bumping up to 3 stars from 2 because of the closing story by Cat Valente. Stellar, as always.
