The modern masters of the macabre bring the dead to life in this
special "re-vamped" edition of the classic compilation every
horror fan will want to sink their teeth into.

This acclaimed collection contains the very best vampire fiction,
from tales of tempting sirens to contemporary serial killers;
from haunting doppelgängers to nefarious historical figures;
from the dark origins of fairy tales to a modern reinterpretation
of the King of the Undead himself - Count Dracula!

Within these dark and deadly pages you will discover
terrifying tales by Clive Barker, Robert Bloch, John Burke,
Ramsey Campbell, R. Chetwynd-Hayes, Simon Clark, Basil Copper,
Dennis Etchison, Harlan Ellison, Christopher Fowler, Neil Gaiman,
Nancy Kilpatrick, Tanith Lee, Brian Lumley, Graham Masterton,
David J. Schow, Karl Edward Wagner and many others.

Along with previously unpublished stories unique to this edition,
you will find such classic novellas as Hugh B. Cave's Stragella, Les
Daniels' Yellow Fog, Manly Wade Wellman's Chastel, F. Paul
Wilson's Midnight Mass and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's Investigating
Jericho, plus Andy Warhol's Dracula — the latest instalment in Kim
Newman's best-selling and critically acclaimed Anno Dracula series.
These sanguinary stories blend terror and tenderness, the
horrifying with the humorous, in one massive volume.
