I'm sorry. I thought I'd really enjoy this; I've enjoyed a lot of different vampire stories and a lot of short story collections, so this is a great match, right? And look at the author line up! This should be amazing!

Sadly, it's not. Most of the stories read like they were sections of longer stories, with no resolution or proper ending. Several of the stories were set in the southern states and they all started sounding a bit samey after a while.

I liked all the different rep, and my favourite story was the Desi one; I thought it was really clever and had a great tone. But overall, I'm afraid, this book isn't for me. I hope it does well.
