An interesting collection of short stories featuring vampires that, generally, feed on something other than blood, or if they do need blood, the methods are somewhat unusual. There are some good authors in here, including Harlan Ellison and Tanith Lee, Joe Haldeman, Steve Rasnick Tem, Fritz Lieber, and the stories definitely go beyond the typical gothic paranormal into the realm of sci-fi horror, though not generally to the level of Lovecraft in terms of the ick factor (with one possible exception of a story about "Varicose Worms," definite ick on that one).
