Streets of Blood: Vampire Stories from New York City (The American Vampire Series)
Frightening, heart-stopping, and often shocking...
The City. Suggestive and sophistication and naïveté, success and failure, culture and brutality, victim and predator. Does this city ever truly rest? And those who watch from dark places, each night hoping and thirsting? For what? Life? Revenge? Another day? Only the vampires, returned from the dead to drain life from the living, know for sure, and the Streets of Blood are their domain. The stories—all set in the greater New York City area—are written by master storytellers.
Authors include Mercedes Lackey, Norma Collins, Laura Ann Gilman, Edward Bryant, Evelyn E. Smith, Esther F. Friesner, Chet Williamson, Lawrence Schimel, Alan Ryan, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Ellen Kushner, Suzy McKee Charnas, and Julian Hawthorne.
