The first bite is only the beginning.

Twenty of today's favorite writers explore the intersections between the living, dead, and undead. Their vampire tales range from romantic to chilling to gleeful — and touch on nearly every emotion in between.

Neil Gaiman's vampire-poet in "Bloody Sunrise" is brooding, remorseful, and lonely. Melissa Marr's vampires make a high-stakes game of possession and seduction in "Transition." And in "Why Light?" Tanith Lee's lovelorn vampires yearn most of all for the one thing they cannot have — daylight. Drawn from folk traditions around the world, popular culture, and original interpretations, the vampires in this collection are enticingly diverse.

But reader beware: The one thing they have in common is their desire for blood.

A collection of stories and poems relating to shapeshifting — animal transfiguration — legends from around the world — from werewolves to vampires and the little mermaid, retold and reimagined by such authors as Peter Beagle, Tanith Lee, Lucius Shepard, Jeffrey Ford, Ellen Kushner and many others. Illustrated with decorations by Charles Vess. Includes brief biographies, authors' notes, and suggestions for further reading.

Лисы-демоны, летучие мыши-вампиры, анимаги из книг о Гарри Поттере… Что общего у всех этих персонажей? Они – оборотни, полулюди-полузвери, и их появление рождает в сердцах страх и волшебство.

Лауреаты множественных премий Эллен Датлоу и Терри Уиндлинг собрали в этой книге лучшие образцы легенд о людях-зверях в пересказе и доработке известнейших писателей-фантастов современности, таких как Питер С. Бигл, Йоханна Синисало и многих других.

Вместе с ними мы отправляемся по следам оленя на снегу, набросив на плечи отороченную мехом накидку. В небе светит полная луна, и опушка леса неясно маячит в сумерках… Вперед, читатель!
