Esther Friesner - Böcker

Having inflicted the smug homes of suburbia with witches and werewolves,Esther Friesner now unleashes the undead to tap a vein of blood and humor, anddrain the suburbs dry of both. Vampires and the suburbs are a match made inheaven, or maybe Levittown. Remember Dracula? He didn’t run into any realproblems until he took his act on the road and traveled to the Big City. But inthe suburbs, everyone is polite and respectful of their neighbors’ rightto privacy. Who says you have to stay in the city if you want good take-outmeals delivered right to your door? There’s no one quite like a vampirefor saying, “All of you kids get off of my lawn!” and putting someteeth into it.The stories in these pages — by Sarah A. Hoyt, K.D. Wentworth, DaveFreer, and more, including Esther Friesner herself — will convince thereader that vampires and suburbs go together like wine and cheese, gin andtonic, desperation and housewives, marriage and pre-nups. Enter freely and ofyour own will...
