Eternal Night: A Vampire Anthology Reviews
-
Yes, I contributed a story to this collection, a story called "Transmogrify" about energy vampires, energivores, who feed off of misery and depression. But I don't want to talk about that.
This collection is a mixed bag, but the ones that work, really work well. It is worth it to check out:
"A Light To Starve" by Axel Taiari
"Goat Sucker Blues" by Chris Deal (author of Cienfuegos)
"Amiko" by Simon West-Bulford (author of The Soul Consortium)
"Suicide Angels" by Christopher Dwyer
"Song For Shadows" by Edward J. Rathke
"Born Again Michael" by Caleb Ross (author of Charactered Pieces)
"Devil Children Unite" by Nik Korpon (author of Stay God)
These all took risks, and built on the standard mythology of vampires, in new and exciting ways. The rest I found to be derivative, cliché and expected. I do think it is worth it to check out the stories above, as these are some very talented authors, many of whom have novels, chapbooks, or collections out now or soon.
