A terrible beauty is abroad. In the guise of a woman it walks by night in search of sustenance, beguiling victims with its mysterious allure and otherworldly charms. It is sensual, seductive---and deadly. Beware the vamp: it preys upon the living and hungers for your blood.

Vamps is a connoisseur's collection of classic vampire tales devoted to the female of the species. Spanning more than a century and several continents, its sixteen selections present lady vampires in a variety of personas, ranging from sympathetic victim of circumstance to bloodthirsty predator. In pursuit of unholy nourishment, these voracious vamps cut a crimson swath through stories guaranteed to chill the blood and quicken the pulse.
