Reader's Review (source unknown) :
Nancy Collins' second novel mixes voodoo and the vampire myth in a tale that connects these modern characters with a shocking tale of the fall of an aristocratic family of 1830's New Orleans. Collins gets lots of credit for having researched the reality of the voodou tradition far more deeply than most horror writers.

Description (from Booklist):
Former con-artists-turned-vampire-slayers Magiere (a half-vampire, half-human called a dhampir) and her half-elf partner, Leesil, return in this sequel to "Dhampir". After she had taken care of the vampire problem in Miiska, her and Leesil's adopted village, Magiere assumed her vampire-hunting days were over. Now a successful tavern owner, she wants nothing more than to forget about vampires. But when a vampire kills a councilman's daughter in the city of Bela, Miiska officials pressure her to go hunt down and kill the vampire. At Leesil's urging, she reluctantly agrees. The trip gets off to a bad start when three hired thugs try to kill Magiere aboard the ship to Bela, and when she and Leesil begin investigating, Magiere is puzzled by the deliberate nature of the crime. Clearly, someone was trying to send a message. But was the sender a vampire or some other sinister, dark force?
Fourth novel to feature vampire hunter Magiere, who's half-vampire herself, and her half-elf partner, Leesil. Raised in the Warlands, Leesil must return there to investigate the fate of the parents he betrayed and to seek redemption for his sins as an enslaved assassin for the evil Lord Darmouth. Accompanying Magiere and Leesil are two appealing supporting characters: Wynn, an idealistic elf, and the dog Chap, who's actually a fay in canine clothing. In Venjètz, Darmouth's city, Leesil goes to his father's only confidant, the feline-loving innkeeper Byrd, but wonders if he can trust the man, as Byrd is also an informant for Darmouth. Meanwhile, none other than Lord Darmouth himself calls upon Magiere's vampire-killing skills.

Description (from Amazon.co.uk) :
16-year-old Dwight and his two pals, male Rusty and female Slim, decide to add some excitement to an otherwise boring summer day in 1963 by sneaking into "The Traveling Vampire Show." This adults-only act, featuring "Valeria, the only known vampire in captivity," is visiting their rural town of Grandville for just one night.
What's a vampire queen to do? Betsy Taylor has a lot on her plate-operating a nightclub for vampires and searching for essential fashion items consume her and allow little time for socializing. When she learns that she has a long-lost half sister, alleged to have been fathered by Satan, she remembers a prophecy predicting that the Spawn of Satan and the Queen of Vampires will rule the world. Her satanic sibling turns out to be a sweet, unaware college girl with a clergyman father. How is Betsy going to tell the warmhearted, churchgoing, innocent Laura that her birth mother was the devil, and that Laura may be on the path to world domination?
With only a few weeks to go before the vampire royal wedding, Betsy has still not found a dress. Then, when her father and her stepmother are immolated in a garbage-truck disaster, nobody is there to hold Betsy's hand at the funeral. Her inner circle seems to have disappeared. Sinclair appears to have taken off in a snit. Jessica is in the hospital. Tina is in France meeting with the European vamps. Besty's sister, the Spawn of Satan, is being totally unsympathetic, and the bitchy werewolf Antonia and her boyfriend, Garrett, the onetime feral vampire fiend, have disappeared. On top of all this, Betsy has to care for her baby brother. So what's a girl to do when a pack of Wyndham werewolves shows up at her door and she realizes something is really wrong?
Queen Elizabeth I, aka Betsy Taylor, is adjusting to life after death as a vampire, but she still needs a job. To satisfy her lust for sexy shoes, she lands one in Macy's, but one night she is attacked by zit-remedy-scented slayers who are targeting female vampires. While trying to find out who is behind the plot, she befriends an adolescent gang called the Blade Warriors and the kindly priest who leads them. Betsy's unwanted consort, sexy Eric Sinclair, king of the vampires, doesn't know how to deal with a vampire queen who sneezes at holy water and wears a cross around her neck.
With both her first anniversary as a vampire and her thirty-first birthday rapidly approaching, Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor still does not have everything lined up for her impending wedding. Her best friend is being testy; her pal, a veterinarian vamp, wants permission to bite her mortal lover; and a delegation of European vampires shows up to pay respect to the vampire royal couple and seek out any exploitable weaknesses. Betsy became the queen because a lot of the pesky vampire rules just don't apply to her. She doesn't even need to suck blood on a daily basis, so in the midst of all this turmoil, she decides to go on a blood-free diet, which leaves her in a perpetual state of annoyance as she eagerly anticipates the surprise party she has said is forbidden.
Betsy Taylor, Queen of the Vampires, is busy planning her wedding, babysitting for her new little brother, and feeding the feral vampire who crochets in the basement of the mansion where she writes a "Dear Betsy" column for a new vampire newsletter. Hunky Nick, a cop from her past, is heading up the task force to find the Driveway Killer, who targets women who look like Betsy. Betsy's best friend, Jessica, starts going out with Nick, and Betsy, who can get into enough trouble on her own, may wind up in over her head with the help of her crazy sister, the ghost of a Driveway Killer victim, and a cute college boy.
Betsy Taylor--former model, newly unemployed secretary, 30, and still single--wakes up after being flattened by a small SUV in a tacky coffin wearing cheap knock-off shoes. Her mother is glad she is back, albeit as a vampire, but her stepmother is enraged that Betsy has reclaimed her designer-shoe collection. With a wealthy best friend and a newly acquired doctor pal who is not susceptible to her formidable allure, she sets out to right wrongs but is abducted by Nostro, a tacky 500-year-old vampire who rules the undead roost. It seems that Betsy is an anomaly: a vampire who doesn't burn in sunlight, can fight the urge to feed, and is not repulsed by religious articles, all of which may make her the prophesied Queen of the Vampires. Teaming up with gorgeous vampire Eric Sinclair, who is in her opinion a major pervert, she takes on Nostro and his minions.
Betsy Taylor, back to rule the nights as Vampire Queen--and survive the days as a new suburban bride. But it's not all marital bliss. Betsy's husband, Sinclair, has been perusing The Book of the Dead, Betsy's being hounded by a ghost who's even more insufferable in death than in life, and a pack of formerly feral vampires has decided to pay an unwelcome visit...

Description (from Amazon) :
Suspended between life and death for over six hundred years, Genevieve Dieudonné is beautiful, powerful, resourceful and courageous. In the crowded cities and dark forests of the Warhammer world, Genevieve and her companions battle the forces of evil and insanity. But the vampire blood running through her veins means she must constantly fight the urge to surrender to the evil within her. The Vampire Genevieve collects all the tales of Genevieve and her unusual allies in one thrilling volume. Genevieve joins a young prince on a quest to find Drachenfels, the Great Enchanter, and put an end to his reign of terror --an adventure that both ends and begins at the Enchanter's fortress, where a playwright intends to stage a recreation of Drachenfels' death. But the castle hides secrets that may close the curtains on Genevieve and her friends forever. In Genevieve Undead, three linked novellas offer up the dark secrets of the Old World, as Genevieve's adventures take her from the daemon-haunted passages of an old theatre to the spell-ridden maze of an accursed mansion to a unicorn hunt in an enchanted forest. In Beasts in Velvet, a disgraced watchman comes out of retirement to hunt down "The Beast", a serial killer who dispatches women on the streets of Altdorf --and who seems to be two creatures in one body. Also included is Silver Nails, a collection of five tales, plus a new introduction by the author.

Reader's Review (from Amazon) :
It's a story of a girl, Mara, born in the year 362 who is raised by her father asto be a brutal warrior, just as he was. She knew nothing of being a lady and has a hard time adjusting to other people,especially to a young man, Gaar, who tries to win her affection. Her early life is little more than adjusting from being a mercenary to a woman of the times. As her life appears to be changing, she is transformed into a Vampire against her will and her life after that is never the same.

Description (from Amazon) :
An ancient evil. An unholy alliance. An eternal love. William Dark is a monster-a vampire who feeds on blood and fear. He is exactly what Savannah Daniels needs. A year ago, Savannah's twin brother and his wife were brutally murdered. Savannah swore a vow of vengeance against the man, the beast, that killed him. A beast that is now after her. Savannah needs William's help in order to keep her vow. She must convince him to transform her, to give her the kiss of the vampire, so that she will be strong enough to defeat the killer that is on her trail. Savannah and William enter into an unholy alliance: He will transform her and see that she receives her justice. In return, she must be his companion, his mate, for eternity. But Savannah soon realizes that there is more at stake than just her life. Because once she tastes William's kiss, she knows that she may be in jeopardy of losing her heart as well. And she will have to put all of her trust, all of her faith, into the hands of a man who lost his soul centuries ago.
Once a mortal with a beloved family, William Cuyler Thorne is now a vampire on the prowl for blood and beautiful women. He has the perfect cover as an admired citizen of Savannah society. Though Reedrek, the ruthless old-world vampire who tried to destroy William has been defeated, he still has his followers-and they will settle for nothing less than all-out war.
To counter this vicious band of European bloodsuckers, organizes a vampire empire, which includes the handsomely slick Jack; William's newly made eternity mate, the luscious seductress Eleanor; and a wannabe-badass named Werm. But as William and his team prepare for the ultimate showdown, the only hope for victory may lie with one woman, a vampire with unusual powers who holds the vampires' fates in her hot little hands.

Reader's Review (from Amazon) :
A unique blend of action, drama, romance, and dark humor that'll leave you turning the pages and slobbering for more. Brooklyn has been leveled by earthquakes and hurricanes. Armondo Moreno finds himself drawn to the city by the first dream he's ever had--he's an Immortal, and therefore prone to nights of dreamless sleep. In the dream his old nemisis, Glynis shows him the Twin Towers. It is an unmistakable sign: the evil Vampiress has taken over eight million people...and made them her Blood Slaves! Thrown into the age-old battle is a young human girl (Christine), and her unborn baby (Charity). Glynis wants the child so she can create a race of super Vampires...beings that can not only reproduce sexually, but walk in the daytime as well. These are two traits Glynis's kind lacks. But she also needs Armondo. And the Vampiress, who has harnessed the power of Mother Nature Herself, will find seducing the Immortal no difficult feat. Armondo is now torn between his good friend and his centuries of teachings, and the one woman who promises to make more of his kind, so the loneliness in his heart will be washed away.

Editorial Review (from Booklist) :
Although best known for her work with Greta Schiller on the Emmy-winning documentary Before Stonewall and Tiny & Ruby: Hell Divin' Women, Weiss has, since the 1970s, also shared her research through filmographies, slide shows, and reviews of lesbian films. Her book is the first to deal exclusively with and comprehensively consider lesbians in the movies. The films she covers range from early silents to recent lesbian independent projects. Throughout, she draws on the de facto expertise of other scholars and critics, such as Bonnie Zimmerman on lesbian vampire films and B. Ruby Rich and Vito Russo when discussing the early sound classic Madchen in Uniform (1930) and its censorship. More daringly, she explores the images conjured up by the mind's eye of lesbian spectators during the long period when Hollywood forbade open portrayal of lesbians. The notes, index, and a too-brief selected filmography augment the value of this must for women's studies, lesbian and gay studies, and extensive film collections.

Reader's Review (from Amazon) :
Los Angeles police detective Jace Levy resigns from the force after 20 years of service, when he decides to take a different bite out of crime. Jace agrees to allow his lover, a 50-year-old vampiress who looks 30 (named Risha), to turn him into one of the undead so they can spend much of eternal night making love with one another. She sleeps all day, has extensible fangs, does not show up in mirrors, has eternal life, and so on. However, the transition that was supposed to provide Joe with his soul's desire has a Twilight Zone twist to it. Instead of great passionate lovemaking, his sex life begins to fail as a by-product of male vampirism. Joe blames Risha for hiding the truth while she accuses him of using her to abort the effect of a mortal disease.
'The Final Battle' - At last, Miyu is resurrected and has reclaimed Larva's devotion! And just in time, because Cait-Sith's evil Quarl mother has also come back to life, wielding an unholy and destructive power.. One that will destroy the entire Shinma world unless she is stopped!
'The Wrath of Miyu' - Now Miyu must gather the remaining Japanese Shinma and their allies for a final battle, one that will determine the fate of the spirit world.
For Lil Marchette, the owner of Manhattan's premier dating service for vampires (and a dazzling denizen of the dark herself), death is all in a night's work. Unfortunately, it's going to take more than matching up vamps to pay the bills and fund Lil's cosmetics addiction. Dare she add actual humans to the mix? Eager to diversify, she signs up for a popular dating show, Manhattan's Most Wanted (MMW), to pitch her expertise to the perfect target audience-eligible women looking for eligible men.
Of course Lil is trying to forget the one man she'd love to sink her own teeth into: Ty Bonner, the ultraseductive vamp who broke her heart after she gave him the hottest night of his afterlife. Problem is, she and Ty have an intense mental connection and she's sensing he's in deep trouble. Even worse, she soon finds herself heading for MMW's grand finale (cameras are so not a vamp's best friend). The race is on as Lil struggles to save Ty (and herself) before all hell breaks loose.
