Vampires Suck
Each story has a different take on the legend of the Vampire. Some hide from the darkness and others can walk in the daylight. Some are cold, calculated killers and others are full of teenaged angst. Some are held at bay by garlic but others love Italian food.
Here is a collection of stories designed to poke fun at the whole vampire genre. We have funny stories about the troubles of immortality, about the crazy life of the vampire slayer, and about just how the different vampires get along.
But in all the stories, one element is always there.

I don't usually read books about vampire. Often, I was trying to avoid the romances that are usually associated with such genre. However, this book is a collection of short stories so there weren't any complex romances to be worried about. Thus, I decided to give this book a chance. Besides, this is a comedy reenactment of vampires so I was ready to dive into it after remembering the humorous movie with the same name. I was seeking for humor and laughter and that was exactly what I got. I was not disappointed by the story. It was humorous and all the while entertaining.
Along with the different stories comes different types of vampires. I enjoyed the varieties of vampires that comes to light in the telling of the stories. Aside from that, it was also entertaining to read about a vampire that suffered from fangs dysfunction. Also, one story that was one of my favorite has a vampire suffered what most parents suffered today that is to go through the phase of teenage girls who wish themselves to be a vampire because of the famous book and movie, Twilight. It was so funny to think that vampires might unknowingly suffers the same things human does.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read. I was glad that the authors seems to share the same thoughts I have in regards of the night creatures. I'd say read this book the next time you are looking for something short, light and funny to read in between.

A great, fun read. A set of short stories you can read all at once or spread out. Guaranteed to make you laugh. My favorite is "It Happens to Every Vamp," by Kerrie Strong. Hilarious and well-written.

I received this book as a Goodreads giveaway.
Like many collections of short stories, this was hit and miss. While many stories tried to be funny, the majority of them seemed to be a couple of pages leading up to a end joke about sparkling vampires. I understand Twilight is easy to make fun of, but it seemed like a lot of the same joke. As well, many of the least interesting stories needed much more editing. In a couple, it didn't even read like the author understood basic English. In a number of stories the editing notes were still present!
That said, there were a few gems that made this book readable. Conquering The Andersons by Victor Gischler, Blending In by Daniel McPherson, while not vampire stories, was highly amusing and well-written. A Winter's Wisp by Tim J. Finn, Give Me a V!...Give Me an A!...Give Me... by Arthur Carey and Dark Illusions by Evan Dicken were all novel ideas that made for great and amusing stories and made this collection worthwhile.
All of the stories were very short, and very easy to read, so even having to get through the poorly written, repetitive stories was worth the more interesting and original works.

This is a collection of short stories that pokes light-hearted fun at the recent vampire craze. One story, for instance, is about a vampire hiding from a woman who wants him to turn her into a vampire. With sadness, the vampire thinks that those vampire wannabes now look more like vampires than the real ones: “They were so vampire they were vampyre.” I liked the stories; there were a lot of good jokes and interesting turns of the plot in them. Unfortunately, some stories felt confusing, and there were several typos in the book.
