Vampires. The very mention of the word thrills us, bringing to life our hidden fantasies and desires. In this wonderful anthology, we meet some of the most beautiful and unique female vampires. Ms. Stine has gathered the best of classical vampire novellas, treating us to a wonderful glimpse of a dark, fascinating world. All of the heroines are different, each unique in their own way. Some break the traditional vampire molds, others remain true to form; yet all are truly unforgettable.

I heartily enjoyed this novel. The stories were well chosen, each highlighting a different writing style and type of vampire. Be sure to add Dracula's Daughters to your Halloween or everyday reading list.
