Synopsis "Dracula's Guests (in English)"
A century and a quarter ago, Bram Stoker unleashed the unbridled horror of Count Dracula upon the world. We can only wonder if he ever imagined the impact his creation would have on not only the horror world, but across the globe. Vampires have become a foremost staple of horror stories and have been represented in both print and film countless times over the decades - and their mythos has grown unchecked, evolved, and taken root in the collective consciousness of old and young, horror fans and non-horror fans alike. There's just something about the immortal bloodsucking monsters that appeals to the ghoulish and the romantic individuals, and who has not mused upon the vampire's lot in (after) life? To be free of the shackles of death, to fly unseen in the darkest of night, to seek sustenance from the blood of the living... We have, within the pages of this superlative anthology, the most fitting homage to the vampire legend - a selection of tales by some of the very best independent horror authors writing in the genre today, each one with a unique spin on vampires and their deadly ilk. Featuring: Michael Zimecki, Trev Hill, Albert N. Katz, Paul Wilson, Ken Goldman, Eamonn Murphy, Judith Newlin, Jack Nash, Jerry Purdon, Terry Stock, Sam Fletcher, Anthony Regolino, Rose Strickman, Elaine Pascale, Holly Saiki, Gregory Von Dare, Helen Mihajlovic, Kay Hanifen, Stephen Patrick, Stephen Loiaconi, Josh Darling, Ravenna Blazecroft, Denise Ciencin and Dr. Chris McAuley
