Publisher's Synopsis

All things supernatural and vampiric appear in these 5 stories on the theme of blood and horror. Richard Pasco reads with spine-chilling brilliance. This chiling selection of 'vampyre' short stories makes no apology for its broad interpretation of the genre.The stories range from the traditional blooksuckers - the uindead who sustain a deadly existence by preying on the life-blood of the living - like Bram Stoker's seminal Dracula's Guest and E.F. Benson's Mrs. Amworth - to others rich in vampire imagery, as in Poe's gothic tale, Ligeia, in which a dead woman take spossession of a living soul, the story of the dreadful appetites of Hoffman's Aurelia and Rudyard Kipling's The Mark of the Beast in which a deadly bite revenges a desecrated Indian God with fearful consequences. A ghoulish pot-pourri of vampirism and horror from classic story-tellers of the genre.
