teeth - vampire stories review
Teeth: Vampire Tales by Ellen Datlow
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
some of these stories fail to make you think or engage, but most of them are well worth the read!
unless you are partial to neil gaiman's poetry, don't pick it up for his name alone.
a few of the stories really tapped in to unpleasant aspects of vampirism, making them a) compelling enough to give me delicious creepy dreams and b) gratifyingly not centered around teen sex fantasies.
my favorites were sit the dead - by jeff ford, late bloomer - by suzy mckee charnas, transition - by melissa marr and why light by tanith lee....although truthfully most of the stories at the end of the book were great.
disappointments from neil gaiman (i just don't like his poetry), emma bull (same problem), and catherynne m. valente (who i usually love, but this story just didn't grab me).
