Book Description
From the pen of Margaret L. Carter..."When I first read Dracula at the age of twelve, my spontaneous reaction was to wonder how the vampire saw the events in which he was portrayed as the villain. One of my first stories, at age thirteen, was a 33-page, single-spaced saga from the viewpoint of a man in the process of transforming into a vampire. I've always found the non-human perspective, as well as relationships between human and non-human persons, fascinating. "The tales in this collection span the past ten years of my writing career. Most can be described as romances, and all involve love and passion in some form. Here you will encounter vampires, elves, ghosts, and at least one human-monster hybrid. The vampire stories in the first half of the book belong to an ongoing series based on 'Vanishing Breed,' a story by my husband in my first anthology, Curse of the Undead (1970). 'Vanishing Breed' (which also appears in Tomorrow Sucks, edited by Greg Cox, still in print) postulates that the creatures we know as vampires belong to an alien species secretly living among us. You can get better acquainted with them in my novels, Dark Changeling, Sealed in Blood, and Crimson Dreams, and two novellas, 'Night Flight' and 'Tall, Dark, and Deadly' (which stars Claude from 'Voice from the Void'). "In the words of Count Dracula, 'Welcome. . .Enter freely and of your own will!'"

Book Description
When Margaret L. Carter first read Dracula at the age of twelve, her spontaneous reaction was to wonder how the undead Count saw the events in which he was portrayed as the villain. She's always been fascinated with the "monster's" viewpoint and relationships between human and nonhuman beings. Most of the stories in this collection can be described as romances, and all involve love and passion in some form. Here you'll encounter vampires, elves, ghosts, and at least one human-monster hybrid. The vampire stories in the first half of the book are part of an ongoing series in which the creatures we know as vampires belong to a naturally evolved, nonhuman species secretly living among us. Readers can get better acquainted with them in Crimson Dreams, Sealed in Blood, and Passion in the Blood.

Book Description
Different blood flows in their veins--but our blood quenches their thirst. From Bram Stoker's 1897 creation of Count Dracula, portrayed as a foreign invader bent on the conquest of England, the literary vampire has symbolized the Other, whether his or her otherness arises from racial, ethnic, sexual, or species difference. Even before the bloodsucking Martians of H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds, however, popular fiction contained a few vampires who were members of alien species rather than supernatural undead. Even more intriguing than interplanetary invaders are humanoid and quasi-humanoid beings who have evolved to live on Earth among us, often camouflaged as our own kind. The boom in vampire fiction that began in the 1970s engendered a variety of "alien" vampires, many of them portrayed as sympathetic characters. The science fiction vampire is especially suited to the presentation of vampirism as morally neutral rather than inherently evil. Different Blood surveys the literary vampire as alien, whether extra-terrestrial or a different species evolved on Earth, from the mid-1800s to the 1990s, and analyzes the many uses to which science fiction and fantasy authors have put this theme. Their works explore issues of species, race, ecological responsibility, gender, eroticism, xenophobia, parasitism, symbiosis, intimacy, and the bridging of differences. An extensive bibliography lists dozens of novels and short stories on the "vampire as alien" theme, many of which are still in print.
