Blood 20: Tales of Vampire Horror
‘The blood shone black
as liquid night, as the River of the Underland. It tasted meat-thick,
and salt, and sweet, familiar as wine or milk or oil. He gulped it down
and down. And as he drank, every physical apparatus of his body shone
within as if with cores of fire.’
Presenting twenty tales of
vampire horror from acclaimed fantasy and horror writer Tanith Lee.
Selected from Tanith’s incredible body of writing, the stories represent a journey through time into darkness from which you may not emerge
unscathed.
From the Roman Empire to cursed Dukes; from sickly
sisters to haunted Ladies; from the Parisian underground to a far flung
and unknowable future: Tanith Lee’s incredible imagination knows no
bounds, and the horrors and visions revealed by her words will stay with you forever.
Including five stories original to this collection and fifteen previously published works, this book represents Tanith Lee at the very height of her literary powers. Drink deep, and never forget.
