Product Description:
Twenty-two masters of horror and fantasy give Van Helsing, the vampire hunter from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, his due as they reimagine the adventures of the greatest foe of the most evil vampire in literary history.
Average Rating: 
Rating:  -
A reasonable anthology of stories, mostly about or featuring the titular figure. Coming in at 3.43 is above average for an original anthology. The best stories - 'Venus and Mars' by Christopher Golden, 'So Far From Them In All Ways' by Chris Roberson (which you can find online), Hero Dust' by Kristine Kathryn Rusch, and 'Origin Of Species' by A. M. Dellamonica.
Possibly a book you are not going to want to read all at once.

While more traditional than some of the others, the Monteleone story very much captured the turn of the century sense of wonder and other-worldly aspect of Van Helsing's mission--and had a GREAT twist at the end.
This is a fun book. Get it.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the stories in this intriguing book. What a pleasant surprise it should be to many readers to find an anthology like this these days, one that is NOT a shared world series based on a game or TV/Movie media tie-in. As such, this more "traditional" anthology might at first glance confuse some readers who are not used to having stories in an anthology sometimes contradict one another. But this is just the kind of anthology a great many readers should relish, presenting stories ... Read More
