Where Atwood is more emotive, if still somewhat factual, is in the detailed extended description of sex that places this story deep in the erotic field. Atwood’s prose inclines more to the factual than the emotive, featuring a high level of descriptions in the form of “Character was strong so they could lift the weight easily” this might summon a sense of reading a witness statement rather than an immersive tale in some. The setting is hard to place: Guiles’ narrative opens in a France that seems to sit somewhere in the 1100–1300’s, yet Cygna’s opens with her in a supernatural bar with a feel of the mid-Twentieth Century onward the intersection of the two is therefore likely to jar with some readers. “At First Sight, I Just Might”, Ingrid Atwood: Pulled away from the warmth of hearth and marriage by war, Guiles stalks and is stalked by enemy soldiers through the forests however, both sides have in turn attracted the attention of Cygna who seeks both blood and companionship. This quirkiness also appears in the extravagence of Quicksilver’s narrative voice, which-depending on reader preference-might either evoke age or pretention.

From Blaxploitation to Twilight and back to Dracula, however, Frayling concludes that as long as we make real the things that scare us, vampires will forever be in our nightmares.This anthology collects eight novellas and one short story, spanning styles, time periods, and genres, each of which features some form of vampire romance. Vampire Cinema: The First Hundred Years functions as both a sweeping primer for the freshly bitten and illuminating biography of the creatures of the night for long-time fans.
