first collection of short stories that I've read in a while & I was pleasantly surprised to find that one of the short stories in here I had already read for a Vampire Literature course in college (it's the "Black Corfu" one)! unfortunately it ended up being the best story in the collection so the rest went downhill from there :/ there were some shining moments in some of the other short stories like "The Gondoliers," but some of the others were just a little too weird for my taste.
