Summary:
New Englanders have a sense of lineage unmatched in any other region
of America. To this day those whose ancestors were the first
Europeans to settle here tend to regard families whose first
ancestors arrived as early as 200 years ago as newcomers. This New
England fondness for lineage is akin to the longevity of the vampire,
whose life (or unlife) is extended by draining the lives and blood of
others. The stories in Blood Lines explore the ancient mysteries of
vampirism, along with the rich literary tradition begun with Lord
Byron and with Bram Stoker's Dracula, first published in 1897 long
after the aristocratic blood lines were established. The stories
include: "One for the Road," Stephen King; "Investigating Jericho,"
Chelsea Quinn Yarbro; "The Brotherhood of Blood," Hugh B. Cave;
"Chastel," Manly Wade Wellman; "The Doom of the House of Duryea,"
Earl Peirce, Jr.; "Moonlight in Vermont," Esther Friesner; "Secret
Societies," Lawrence Schimel; "When the Red Storm Comes," Sarah
Smith; "The Beautiful, the Damned," Kristine Kathryn Rusch; "The
Shunned House," H. P. Lovecraft
