Vampire Stories Pleases.

In todays literary world, so many vampire stories are re- hashed and muttled. Very few have lasting impressions and present new ideas. The freshness is gone with the wind. Alas, I read Vampire Stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with excitement because you can never go wrong with a classic and author who has a positive track record. Vampire Stories is perfect! It is what it is. Classic vampire stories that have remained fresh throughout the decades. Doyle takes us on a literary horror journey that we don't want to see end. Have your dictionary ready to have new words thrown at you. Good stories. Great discriptions. Beautiful dialogue. Have fun!
