This collection of clever, short, accessible stories, though humorous, is not for the faint of heart. Each Twilight Zone–type tale comes with an unexpected twist, and most of the characters meet a violent and grisly end. The writing is catchy and contemporary--vampires make frequent cameos--and will appease genre fans.
