Vampires Suck

When the Twilight books first came out, my sisters were in their early teens. I remember they were so excited, they made t-shirts for the book release party at our local Barnes and Noble. One of them said something like “Bite me, Edward.”

Vampire stories have come a long way since 2005, as evidenced by the anthology Vampires Never Get Old by Natalie C. Parker and Zoraida Córdova. The stories in this collection feature a diverse cast of characters, united in their desperation to seek the possibility of escape through eternal death. At turns creepy and funny, this is one to enjoy not only in October, but anytime you need something to make your heart beat a little faster.
