Starred Review. Penzler's second massive anthology for Black Lizard (following 2007's The Black Lizard Big Book of Pulps) collects an astoundingly thorough and enjoyable set of 86 vampire tales, poems and true stories. Classics such as Le Fanu's Carmilla, Poe's Ligeia and Stoker's Dracula's Guest are nicely interspersed with lesser-known older and newer works. Fredric Brown's Blood, an old-school sci-fi short-short, is a hoot, and D.H. Lawrence's The Lovely Lady is a witty satire that in many ways harks back to Polidori's The Vampyre. Other standouts include Lisa Tuttle's The Replacements, a gothic feminist tale, and Gardner Dozois and Jack Dann's Down Among the Dead Men, a chilling story set in a Nazi concentration camp. Neil Gaiman's introduction and Daniel Seitler's superb 100-plus-page bibliography of vampire fiction round out the anthology. (Oct.)

From School Library Journal

Adult/High School—This collection of more than 80 tales and poems has been meticulously compiled for rabid vampire-lit fans to sample and enjoy. The book is divided into 13 distinct sections. Stories predating Dracula include Edgar Allan Poe's "Ligeia" and Sheridan Le Fanu's "Carmilla." "Classic Tales" features Bram Stoker's "Dracula's Guest," published posthumously and edited from the final draft of Dracula. Unexpectedly included is D. H. Lawrence's "The Lovely Lady," under the heading "Psychic Vampires." Penzler offers up some newer tales with Anne Rice's intriguing "The Master of Rampling Gate," Stephen King's humorous "Popsy," Ray Bradbury's creepy "The Man Upstairs," and Gahan Wilson's chilling "The Sea Was Wet as Wet Can Be." Penzler has also selected works of lesser-known authors but just as varied and pleasurable for horror aficionados. Also not to be missed are the interesting and entertaining extras: the preface by Neil Gaiman, the foreword by Kim Newman, the introduction by Penzler, and the outstanding extensive vampire bibliography compiled by Daniel Seitler. There is a substantial amount of history and lore to be found here about the fictional vampire and its popularity in modern-day culture.—Melanie Parsons, Fairfax County Public Library, VA
