Vampyric Variations Winner of the 2013 Book of the Year Award (Horror) A dark and fascinating collection... Award-winning author Nancy Kilpatrick unlocks the crypt's door to reveal the Undead as you've never experienced them--merciless, sensuous, intelligent, loving and cruel. The short stories and novellas in Vampyric Variations shine light on a myriad of hidden agendas, deliciously exposing humanity's favorite predator--the Vampire. Table of Contents Introduction by Tanith Lee Author Foreword Old School/New School Undead The Vechi Bărbat Berserker Bitches of the Night Vampire Anonymous Necromimicos La Diente Traditions in Future Perfect Sex and the Mourning After Lover of Horses Time Wild Hunt About Nancy Kilpatrick: Award-winning author Nancy Kilpatrick has published eighteen novels, over one hundred and ninety short stories, five collections of stories, and has edited nine other anthologies. Much of her body of work involves vampires. Nancy writes dark fantasy, horror, mysteries and erotic horror, under her own name, her nom de plume Amarantha Knight, and her newest pen name Desirée Knight (Amarantha’s younger sister!) Besides writing novels and short stories, and editing anthologies, she has scripted four issues of VampErotic comics. As well, she’s penned radio scripts, a stage-play, and the non-fiction book The Goth Bible: A Compendium for the Darkly Inclined (St. Martin’s Press — October 2004). Nancy won the Arthur Ellis Award for best mystery story, is a three times Bram Stoker finalist and a five times finalist for the Aurora Award. (MORE) Praise: "...I really enjoyed these stories. They show other aspects of the vampire world, and the 'horror' part is not overwhelming. Vampire readers will love this book (if you have not read anything by Nancy Kilpatrick, what are you waiting for?), and everyone else will also like it." - Paul Lappen, reviewer "Nancy Kilpatrick infuses her vampires with the hot blood of life and erotic passion. Vampires have never had it so good." — F. Paul Wilson "Kilpatrick is the pony express of horror. She’s fast and furious and she always delivers." — Brian Lumley "Nancy Kilpatrick’s writing is both eloquent and erotic--her stories seduce the reader through the mutual attraction of dread and desire." — Stephen Jones "Kilpatrick’s vampires have a distinctive bite all their own." — Nancy A. Collins "Nancy cuts straight to the heart of the story. She is never afraid to take risks, and her risks pay off." — Poppy Z. Brite "Nancy Kilpatrick’s command of the language is precise, sensual, and addictive, drawing you sinuously from one page to the next. Do yourself a favor and let her lure you down the less trodden paths of desire and danger!" — P. N.
