I’m thrilled to share the cover reveal for Strange Blood. I’ve watched so many vampire movies. Have a fondness for those old black and white ones. But I also love the new ones with all the special effects. Strange Blood is a collection of essays about vampire movies. Some you may have seen. Some you might never have heard of. And some contain vampires in guises you probably never imagined. I’ll be reading this and sharing my review and am excited to share the fabulous cover art for this collection!

STRANGE BLOOD: 70 ESSAYS ON OFFBEAT AND UNDERRATED VAMPIRE MOVIES
EDITED BY VANESSA MORGAN
Genre: horror, vampires, movies, non-fiction
Cover design: Gilles Vranckx
Release date: April 2019
Blurb
This is an overview of the most offbeat and underrated vampire movies spanning nine decades and 23 countries.
Strange Blood encompasses well-known hits as well as obscurities that differ from your standard fang fare by turning genre conventions on their head. Here, vampires come in the form of cars, pets, aliens, mechanical objects, gorillas, or floating heads. And when they do look like a demonic monster or an aristocratic Count or Countess, they break the mold in terms of imagery, style, or setting.
Leading horror writers, filmmakers, actors, distributors, academics, and programmers present their favorite vampire films through in-depth essays, providing background information, analysis, and trivia regarding the various films. Some of these stories are hilarious, some are terrifying, some are touching, and some are just plain weird. Not all of these movies line up with the critical consensus, yet they have one thing in common: they are unlike anything you’ve ever seen in the world of vampires.
Just when you thought that the children of the night had become a tired trope, it turns out they have quite a diverse inventory after all.
