Edited by New York Times bestselling author Christopher Golden and featuring all-new stories from such contributors as Charlaine Harris, John Ajvide Lindqvist, Scott Smith, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Michael Kortya, Kelley Armstrong, Brian Keene, David Wellington, Seanan McGuire, and Tim Lebbon, Seize the Night is old-school vampire fiction at its finest.
I was so hesitant about ordering this book. I thought it would be one stereotypical story after the other about Goth vampires. To my complete surprise, these were some of the best stories I've read in a while. Vampire is the wrong word to use for the theme of these stories. They are all over the map...yet I felt that every one of them was perfect for this anthology. It is rare to get an anthology with all these different authors and yet enjoy ever one of them! This editor knows what they are doing. If you like your horror varied and enticing, this book is for you.
