Night to Dawn 25 offers vintage tales - mostly vampire, but you won't find any mundane themes. A Good Samaritan deed turns bloody when the person being rescued gets hungry. Another vampire who gets deathly ill on the blood he desperately needs. The Grim Reaper comes back as a beautiful woman. An Alzheimer's patient seeks relief but chooses the wrong "doctor," and his methods are more brutal than she expected. A vampire heads for Alaska during the winter because of the short days. Ken Goldman entertains us with "The Devil You Say."

McQuiston's "Night's Embrace" portrays love between two zombies, but woe betide the humans that get in their way. Ken Goldman's "Snow Angel" features an elderly man reciting a story to his grandchild, whom we learn isn't human-quite. All of these tales and poetry...
