Blurb: TALES OF THE UNDEAD BY DISTINGUISHED AUTHORS
The Marquis de Sade • Matthew G. Lewis • Edgar Allan Poe • J. Sheridan Le Fanu • Bram Stoker • F. Marion Crawford • Evelyn E. Smith • Robert Bloch • Fredric Brown • Niel Straum
Why is the vampire story so appealing?
Why are brilliant talents drawn to tell and retell tales of the undead, the unquiet ones who must return to feed on the vitality-the blood-of the living? What draws us back to read about Dracula and his fellows-monsters from the grave who seduce all sexes and ages to feed their foul hunger? Here are classic vampire tales from the 18th century to the present-from the gloomy and terror-stricken tombs and castles of tradition to the spaceships of science fiction.
Stories for readers who long to feel the cold hand on the heart, the creeping of the flesh, the sleep-destroying night fears that lurk on the edges of the enlightened modern mind.
