Under the Fang (Horrow Writers of America 1): Under the Fang

This book is broken down into a number of short stories with the same premise. That is, a post apocalyptic explosion of vampires. They rule our world. They've enslaved mankind as their food source. I found the story of the freedom fighters in the antartic holding out against a military made up entirely of vampires to be engaging. The tired vampire colonel who wishes to have the bloodshed stop was a great character that I wish could have been explored more indepth. The stories are unique and show a mad world where humanity is 'under the fang'.

This book is by far one of the greatest anthologies of vampire stories I've ever read. Picture these blood-suckers taking over the world, and how you would re-act as one of the few mortal men left.

A very good idea: the vampires have taken over, mankind is on retreat or defeated. This is the setting. Most of the authors could cope with this given situation and their stories are really good. Some of them did not really write good stories. But they are readable. The best is the first story by Robert McCammon himself.
