Today in reading books I found randomly in the library, it’s been ages since I picked up an anthology! This is a collection of vampire short stories, each taking place in their own contained universe and different perspectives on being a vampire or living around them in general.
There were a lot more hits than misses in this one, though I admit that I did skip a couple of them. I found myself particularly drawn to the very voice-y ones. There is a variety in here, though, and something that is likely to resonate. There were two specific ones in there that I am still smiling about.
One of them is framed as a guide for a newly turned vampire kid who has just woken up alone and might be trying to figure out what the hell is going on and why what happened to them was illegal. And also that they should absolutely go after British tourists for sustenance, which is so great in context.
The other is essentially a Tumblr blog of a kid who is in theory impossible, having been born to vampire parents, and his journey to try and figure out just what he is, what he looks like, and if he really is alone or if his parents are keeping something from him.
Overall, it was a really fun read. There’s something in there that will likely resonate with you and I’d definitely recommend giving it a look!
