Book Review: Bites: A Fate Worse Than Death

Bites: A Fate Worse Than Death by Allen B. Ury

This book was one of my favorites as a child, and recently I couldn't help myself from picking it up again. It's a collection of "spooky" stories centering around the same type of malevolent being: vampires. The stories themselves don't have too much "meat" on their bones, if you could call it such. Each short story only ranging a little over 10 pages a piece, but it holds a lot of scenarios. Tales about classic vampires, and ones that are man made. It ranges greatly, yet still has the same center point of blood sucking Nosferatu. Not something everyone would enjoy, and I've long since passed reading literature of this rather basic level, but it holds a special place in my heart.
