Teeth: Vampire Tales

Teeth: Vampire Tales by Datlow, Ellen. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780061935152.

The first bite is only the beginning. Twenty of todays favorite writers explore the intersections between the living, dead, and undead. Their vampire tales range from romantic to chilling to gleeful—and touch on nearly every emotion in between. Neil Gaimans vampire-poet in "Bloody Sunrise" is brooding, remorseful, and lonely. Melissa Marrs vampires make a high-stakes game of possession and seduction in "Transition." And in "Why Light?" Tanith Lees lovelorn vampires yearn most of all for the one thing they cannot have—daylight. Drawn from folk traditions around the world, popular culture, and original interpretations, the vampires in this collection are enticingly diverse. But reader beware: The one thing they have in common is their desire for blood. . . .
