Bloodlust Variations
Here for the first time is the collected vampire fiction and poetry of C.J. Carter-Stephenson – six variations on the vampire theme, bound together by their protagonists’ burning lust for blood. A disembodied spirit fighting to be reunited with his vampiric body… Two vampires braving the wilderness of space in search of a new home… A vampire with no recollection of his mortal life… All this and more you will find in these pages. Sometimes sensual, but always deadly, these dark denizens of the night are waiting to infiltrate your dreams. Drink deeply of their adventures and they will open your eyes to the darkness inside yourself, but be warned, there will be blood. For the blood is the life and they are always hungry for it.

Bloodlust Variations is a collection of short-stories on the subject of vampires and vampiric beings, in different genres and time periods.
This book brings the “vampire genre” back to its origins – the European folklore and Bram Stoker’s Dracula – where vampires are evil, blood-thirsty and unmerciful.
The stories are beautifully written: they are dark and captivating, just like the vampires in them; and wonderfully adapted to the time period they take place in.
I really enjoyed reading Bloodlust Variations and I recommend it to every fan of Draculian literature.
This book was given to me through Goodreads First Reads.
