Vintage Vampire Stories
Edited by Robert Eighteen-Bisang and Richard Dalby

For the first time in one volume, vampire experts Richard Dalby and Robert Eighteen-Bisang have gathered a trove of dark fantasy stories from 1679 through 1909. Long lost to the public in the pages of defunct newspapers, out-of-print magazines, and dusty nineteenth-century anthologies, the thrilling tales in Vintage Vampire Stories ooze with sinister characters in malevolent worlds.

From authors such as Mary Elizabeth Braddon, William H.G. Kingston, Pu Songling, Dick Donovan, and many others, come mysteries of darkness and shadow, of bloodthirsty beauties, ominous hooded figures, rambling estates haunted by life-sucking demons, and eerie inhuman happenings that are sure to make your hair stand on end.

Available from Skyhorse Publishing.
