Sinopsis

In these exsanguinating stories, Ronald Chetwynd-Hayes masterfully reinvents the vampire genre as he introduces the reader to a cleaning woman who discovers she is working for Dracula?s son, a couple trapped in a house created by the mind of a centuries-old vampire, a young boy whose ancestor is depressed by his undead existence, a creature of darkness that sucks the life-force from its victims, and the unusual offspring of a werewolf and a vampire who is threatened by an obsessed clergyman.Looking for Something to Suck: The Vampire Stories of R. Chetwynd-Hayes collects sixteen tales by the author known as ?Britain?s Prince of Chill?, including such classics as ?My Mother Married a Vampire?, ?The Labyrinth?, ?Birth?, ?Looking for Something to Suck? and ?The Werewolf and the Vampire?. This first-ever paperback edition features an additional story not contained in the original limited hardcover edition and also includes a foreword by award-winning editor Stephen Jones, new illustrations by Jim Pitts, and an original cover painting by Les Edwards.?R. Chetwynd-Hayes ranks as one of England?s finest practitioners of the art of horror fiction . . . his prose displays a crisp sophistication and, often, a macabre sense of humour to prove that the author is a major stylist in his own right.? - Karl Edward Wagner
