Five books for readers who crave more vampires

Linden A. Lewis is a queer writer and world wanderer currently living in Madrid with a couple of American cats who have little kitty passports. Tall and tattooed, and the author of The First Sister and The Second Rebel, Linden exists only because society has stopped burning witches.

Vampires Never Get Old: Tales with Fresh Bite edited by Natalie C. Parker and Zoraida Córdova

This is one of those books that gives you a lot of bang for your buck. Natalie C. Parker and Zoraida Córdova have put together a brilliant anthology of vampire stories, including such authors as Rebecca Roanhorse, Mark Oshiro, Tessa Gratton, and V.E. Schwab, among others. With a list like that, how can you go wrong? And Schwab’s sapphic story “First Kill” is currently slated to appear as an eight-episode series on Netflix soon.
