Book Description
“An excellent collection” of vampire stories, from authors such as Harlan Ellison, Dan Simmons, Gahan Wilson, Tanith Lee, and Fritz Leiber (Publishers Weekly). Renowned editor Ellen Datlow has gathered seventeen variations on vampirism ranging from classically Gothic to postmodern satire, from horrific to erotic. These stories reflect the evolution of vampire literature from Bram Stoker to Anne Rice and beyond, resulting in a deeper exploration of their inner lives. Expanding the concept of vampirism to include the draining of a person’s will or life force, Datlow’s collection transcends the traditional “black capes and teeth marks on the neck” to reinvent an eternally fascinating subgenre of horror. In Harlan Ellison’s “Try a Dull Knife,” an empath stumbles bleeding into a nightclub, on the run from emotional vampires. A Broadway actress steals the emotions of her fellow performers in “. . . To Feel Another’s Woe” by Chet Williamson. And in “The Sea Was Wet as Wet Could Be,” Gahan Wilson offers his own surreal twist on Lewis Carroll’s “The Walrus and the Carpenter,” as two strangers on a beach lure intoxicated picnickers to a different kind of picnic . . . Blood Is Not Enough includes contributions by Dan Simmons, Gahan Wilson, Garry Kilworth, Harlan Ellison, Scott Baker, Leonid Andreyev, Harvey Jacobs, S. N. Dyer, Edward Bryant, Fritz Leiber, Tanith Lee, Susan Casper, Steve Rasnic Tem, Gardner Dozois and Jack Dann, Chet Williamson, Joe Haldeman, and Pat Cadigan.

Was Jesus's Blood Not Enough?
Author: A. Virginia Smith-Davis
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1098034465
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
When Jesus walked the earth, He was "the Word" in human form. His presence represented the magnificence of God's love, voluntarily sacrificing Jesus's sinless blood as payment for our sins. This book, Was Jesus's Blood Not Enough?, is a collection of letters, which served to provide encouragement, love, strength, and forgiveness, showing that God's word is as real as it was when Jesus walked the earth. In a society where communication remains restricted by constantly shortening character limits, our expressions are often quick and short and frequently miss the point. While writing letters appears to be a dying art, some gifts never get old. Letters are far more physical than the paper on which they rest, with expressions of personal information and details, which have had life breath blown into them from the heart of the writer. A letter's heartbeat can be felt over again with each reading. In times when the comfort of hugs is impossible, the encouragement of sincere words can serve as the type of relief that can only touch the heart. This collection of real letters shows how expressions of love based on the Word of God can help others during the spectrum of life's experiences. Whether in times of celebration or appreciation or those marked by fear, depression, grief, or hopelessness, many recipients found these letters to be encouraging and supporting. Indeed, some people carry these letters to serve as armor during times of weakness. What began as a request to write one letter to a man dying of cancer mushroomed into many. Some letters were requested and others sent unsolicited yet all letters were infused with love. It is certain that as you read these letters, you will find some that will touch your heart or could help someone you know. Keishan J. Davis, Esq. Son of the author, A. Virginia Smith-Davis
