註釋
This “toothy follow-up to Datlow’s first-rate
Blood Is Not Enough
” offers “admirably inventive variations on vampirism” (
Kirkus Reviews
).
Featuring stories by Jonathan Carroll, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, and Robert Silverberg,
A Whisper of Blood
is a “consistently engrossing anthology” from award-winning editor Ellen Datlow (
Publishers Weekly
). Continuing to expand the boundaries of the concept of vampirism—as she did in her first collection,
Blood Is Not Enough
—Datlow has assembled eighteen fascinating stories that range from tales of literal vampires to what she calls “metaphorical bloodsuckers,” who can drain another’s life force without ever sinking their teeth into necks.
In “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep” by Suzy McKee Charnas, an elderly Jewish woman who’s taken her own life has second thoughts and makes a deal to become a vampire to stay immortal, the only condition being she has to drink blood by request only. An amnesiac operative tries to sort out if a secret government agency is trying to help him regain his memory or is wiping it clean in Chelsea Quinn Yarbro’s Kafkaesque “Do I Dare to Eat a Peach?” And in Jonathan Carroll’s “The Moose Church,” a tourist in Sardinia is literally scarred by asking questions of death in his dreams . . .
