Like I did last year during the dark and cold season, I lined up a few individual vampire short stories that I didn't feel like reading as part of any collections. The Transfer is my first introduction to Blackwood, and although it's kind of interesting and bizarre (psychic vampires are nothing new, but the other concept felt fresh for the time period), overall it just felt more like an OK middle of the road story. I was aware beforehand that Blackwood is a master of describing dread, though, and my expectations were definitely met here. Consider me intrigued.
