There are vampire stories here by men and women from every literary era of the past century and a half, right up to the most talented writers of the present day.
Here are ruined castles, abbeys and crypts, spires and bats silhouetted against full moons, sharp-toothed men in full evening dress seducing beautiful, innocent young women, coffin lids being raised to reveal unspeakable residents. But the classic vampire of gothic tradition is not the only fiend to stalk the thousand pages of this vast collection.
Vampires come in many guises, and all can be found within: reluctant vampires, detective vampires, space vampires, lesbian vampires, punk vampires. There are stories here by men and women from every literary era of the past century and a half, right up to the most talented writers of the present day.
Includes stories from Lord Byron, John Keats, Bram Stoker, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allan Poe, M R James, H P Lovecraft, D H Lawrence, Roger Zelazny, Ray Bradbury, Harlan Ellison, Dan Simmons, Lisa Tuttle, Stephen King, Anne Rice and Clive Barker.

Mas a qualidade da edição deixa a desejar.
Isso porque o livro tem capa MOLE, isso aí, a gramatura não apenas das páginas, mas da capa também é muito baixa.
É engraçado, porque o livro é tão volumoso e as páginas tão finas que parece que o livro em si tem vida própria e quer escapar da sua mão! Sério mesmo!
Claro, a compilação é bem vasta, tem quase tudo nele... Quase. Falta, por exemplo, o "Vampyre" do Polidori, que é uma ausência inadmissível, pelo menos na minha opinião!
Além disso, o texto é impresso em duas colunas. Não chega a ser algo que me incomode tanto assim, certamente uma solução para conseguir imprimir tantos textos relevantes nesse número de páginas, mas não é o ideal, convenhamos.
Ainda assim, vale a pena ter acesso a uma grande gama de obras que ainda não conheço.
OK, ranting aside, the contents are impressive. As some reviewers have noted, there are some significant omissions, notably John Polidori's "The Vampyre" (though it merits a mention in the bibliography at the back of the book). Here's a listing of all the stories contained in this tome:
