1993
MONAHAN, Brent -- The Book of Common Dread **
Not actually scary but an interesting wee plot and some weird characters
1990
RUDDY, Jon --The Bargain ***
Vamps and Nazi's cross… well not swords, obviously. Worth it for the concept, although the plot is little more than adequate.
1981
McCAMMON, Robert R. --They Thirst ***
The undead attack LA, great but not deep.
undated
STOKER, Bram -- Dracula, Dracula's Guest****
The original!
MATHESON, Richard -- I am Legend *****
Absolutely riveting post apocalypse SF style story, circa 1954. Not to be missed; one man, alone against a world full of vampires.
DANIELS, Les -- Yellow Fog *
Classic damsel/monster horror.
REAVES, Michael -- Night Hunter *
"Death stalks the Hollywood night…." Mundane cop story.
RUSCH, Kristine Kathryn -- Sins of the Blood ***
Genuinely creepy--a slayer dealing with vampire who are normal until puberty… and therefore hard to demonize.
SCOTT, Michael -- Reflection *
Countess Bathory and a mystical vampiric mirror.
WRIGHT, Tim -- The Last Vampire *
Standard horror fair--boy meets vamp etc…
