Very little has not been done with the subject of vampires. Yet, we are always enamored by them, transfixed at the edge of our seats, watching the latest movie or television show on them. Kevin Eads, however does what few modern novelists and screenwriters like him do. He adds a bit of sharp humor to the mix, giving us our chills and laughs all at once, without sacrificing the classic feel of horror once found in films of a bygone era. As always, I look forward to see what new inspirations come forward from his keyboard, his imagination is as timeless as if he began in the days of the inkwell and feather pen yet injected with moderninity, as in The Vampire Club and other stories that could be in your own hometown. I hope you enjoy this collection as much as I did. From the introduction by Corvis Nocturnum
