" A wonderful compilation of short stories! "
— Maggie, 11/3/2013 -
" This was a book I could have passed over. It isn't very original. Basically, all the vampires contained in the stories are the old fashioned type...evil and without any depth. The writing is bland and charcters one dimensional. Don't bother with this book. "

" I only read "Dracula's Guest", and I have to say that it was interesting enough to capture my attention, and remind me of how evil Dracula really is. "

" Several vampiric stories not all about the creatures, but some short stories concerning other types of vampirism. I really enjoyed some stories and others made me want to gouge my eyes out... "
