Everytime I wanted to get this from the library, someone else already had it. I sometimes forget I'm not the only avid user of libraries :P Anyway, it was well worth the agonising wait. An eclectic collection of short stories with a dash of articles and non-fiction here and there, also including a fascinating "historical evidence" -section. I'm personally more interested in 19th century vampires, so I was pleasantly surprised that the emphasis is on pre-1950s. Someone else may however consider it a bit disappointing. I also liked the idea of commentary, which expanded the topics and helped in putting the stories into context.
