The Gilda Stories
A very unusual vampire story. A young Black woman escapes being enslaved and ends up becoming a vampire. Takes place between the 1850s and 2020 or so.
Blood Sisters
"A tantalizing selection of stories from some of the best female authors who've helped define the modern vampire. Bram Stoker was hardly the first author-- male or female-- to fictionalize the folkloric vampire, but he defined the modern iconic vampire when Dracula appeared in 1897. Blood Sisters collects a wide range of fantastical stories from New York Times bestsellers Charlaine Harris, Holly Black, Nancy Holder, Catherynne M. Valente, and Carrie Vaughn, and critically acclaimed writers Chelsea Quinn Yarbro and Tanith Lee, all of whom have left their indelible and unique stamps on the vampire genre. Whether they are undeniably heroes and heroines or bloodthirsty monsters (or something in between), the undead are a lively lot." --
