DNF.

I really thought I was gonna be in for some great modern gothic horror but it wasn't. This book was terrible. I read the first 4 stories then skipped to the last two stories because I was just annoyed and was getting nothing from the stories. It made me hate vampires for quite a while.

The few short stories that I actually did liked couldn't even redeemed this book. I hate adult books that proves they're an adult book by cursing, dirty talking, talking about their genitals, etc...Like at that point it felt like a horny 10 year old wrote most of stories.

If you like vampires just get yourself another vampire short story book and don't waste your time with this one.

A group of vampire-told tales ranging from the awful to the mediocre, mostly set in relatively modern America. Luckily the worst stories in the bunch also take up the least amount of pages; it's worth checking out of the library if you're short on vamp-related reading material. Chris Moran's "Two-Spirits" was the highlight of the book, with a narrator who's facing an eternity stuck as the wrong sex - though I wasn't thrilled with the use of the term two-spirit, considering that the main characters are white.
