Most of these stories were good, but not really my style. One was outstanding. These are written on the more classic tale style of the late 1800s.

I liked this a lot. Not a weak story in the bunch. Many of the stories are about what you might call unconventional vampires. Part 1 of a larger volume [b:The Vampire Archives|6340422|The Vampire Archives|Otto Penzler|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1389141627s/6340422.jpg|6526429]

As usual, out of an entire book about Vampires, Stephen King's story stood out. Loved the whole thing.

The vampire stories contained in this collection were very hit and miss for me. There were a few that were interesting and a few that were at least entertaining, but for the most part they were formulaic and dull. And what is it with Stephen King and needing to write about child molesters and children that turn out to be monsters? He manages to be creepy, but not in a good way.
There were a few that were at least more interesting, like, "The Sea was as Wet as Wet Could Be," but the mediocre stories outweighed the good ones.
