There is no end to the mediocrity in this book. The stories are half-baked, the plots badly executed. A couple stories are okay, except that they ought to have been longer. Perhaps they were forced into short stories rather than taking on their natural form. Do not waste your money on this. If you are a fan of one of the authors in this book, go read something better written by them somewhere else.

Courage comes in many forms, and the women in these wonderful short stories display every possible manifestation. This is a brilliant collection of warrior-woman/fantasy tales. Do yourself a favor women, read this book and not only be entertained, but be inspired.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this anthology. Best bet is for all Xena and Buffy fans out there(and the wonderful Annie Scarborough is one too!) to buy it.. read it..GIRL POWER!! yeah!

Vampire Slayers is one of two things, depending on the reader: an absolute, must-have for the fan of vampires and particularly vampire-hunters; or, for the less-than-pleased with Van Helsing, a curious and eclectic selection of occult stories. Those who don't like horror at all will probably be bored (many of the stories involve similar settings: vampires take over the world), but fans will be entertained, as the stories stretch over many writers and styles.
