A Taste of Blood and Roses — David Niall Wilson

This collection of stories spans two decades of work by Bram Stoker Award winning author David Niall Wilson. From the streets of Jerusalem to the historical life of Vlad Tepes, follow the undead, the dispossesed, the demonic and the just plain weird through eleven tales of vampirism, lycanthropy, and darkness. There's a bit of dark humor, a touch of the erotic, and a little something for everyone who loves creatures of the night. Also...these vampires are guaranteed not to sparkle... Contents:
