Renowned editor Ellen Datlow has gathered seventeen variations on vampirism ranging from classically Gothic to postmodern satire, from horrific to erotic. These stories reflect the evolution of vampire literature from Bram Stoker to Anne Rice and beyond, resulting in a deeper exploration of their inner lives. Expanding the concept of vampirism to include the draining of a person’s will or life force, Datlow’s collection transcends the traditional “black capes and teeth marks on the neck” to reinvent an eternally fascinating subgenre of horror.

What if you had one hundred years of wisdom and experience-on the day you were born?
Your attitude about life is different now than it was years ago. And it will be different years from now. Have you ever remembered a choice you made and wondered what your life would look like today had you chosen differently? Bob Carson has been given the gift, or perhaps the curse, of living his long life two ways-both from birth to death and from death to birth. “Forward Bob”-who’s aging chronologically-goes through life figuring things out through the usual ages and stages, with the successes, failures, and mistakes we all make while experiencing life. “Backward Bob,” who has the presumed advantage of approaching each day with the wisdom of a long and well-lived life, takes a different path.
