Yep, another biased opinion...

I picked out the stories in this nthology so of course I think they are great, but I thought it would be helpful to tell a little of the philosphy behind them. I've edited several erotic vampire anthologies over the past dozen years, and I've seen every cliche you can imagine. The trick is to find fresh, new interesting takes on vampire myths, and yet to have enough of what makes a vampire recognizable, and sensual and interesting, to satisfy the reader. There are some very intense characters in these stories, and the authors really did a great job of making the vampires sexy, alluring, dominating, etc. It's stories like these that keep me reading the genre and keep me wanting more.

Completely biased opinion.

I have a story in this book, so I'll admit to a baised opinion. My rating is based on my one disappointment with the anthology, and that is that Cecilia Tan didn't contribute. My personal favorite stories were When We Rise by Jason Rubis and Bloodletting by Michelle Blaid - very modern stories - but the traditional treatment by Thomas Roche in Moonlight and Trouble is a deft, lush return to familiar territory.
