The tag line says 17 stories of vampirism, which is a bit cheesy as it is actually 15 stories and 2 poems.
This anthology is a hybrid, some reprint and some original. It comes out as right on 3.33, the standard average for an original anthology.
Leading with Simmons is smart, that is the best story. Susan Casper's was the next niftiest.
