Tor Essentials presents new editions of science fiction and fantasy titles of proven merit and lasting value, each volume introduced by an appropriate literary figure.The Nebula Award-finalist reinvention of the vampire novel, described as a "masterpiece" by Guillermo del Toro.Edward Weyland is far from your average vampire: not only is he a respected anthropology professor but his condition is biological rather than supernatural. He lives discrete lifetimes bounded by decades of hibernation and steals blood from labs rather than committing murder. Weyland is a monster who must form an uneasy empathy with his prey in order to survive, and The Vampire Tapestry is a story wholly unlike any you've heard before.With a new introduction by Nicola Griffith, author of Spear.

This "toothy follow-up to Datlow''s first-rate Blood Is Not Enough" offers "admirably inventive variations on vampirism" (Kirkus Reviews).Featuring stories by Jonathan Carroll, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, and Robert Silverberg, A Whisper of Blood is a "consistently engrossing anthology" from award-winning editor Ellen Datlow (Publishers Weekly). Continuing to expand the boundaries of the concept of vampirism—as she did in her first collection, Blood Is Not Enough—Datlow has assembled eighteen fascinating stories that range from tales of literal vampires to what she calls "metaphorical bloodsuckers," who can drain another''s life force without ever sinking their teeth into necks.In "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" by Suzy McKee Charnas, an elderly Jewish woman who''s taken her own life has second thoughts and makes a deal to become a vampire to stay immortal, the only condition being she has to drink blood by request only. An amnesiac operative tries to sort out if a secret government agency is trying to help him regain his memory or is wiping it clean in Chelsea Quinn Yarbro''s Kafkaesque "Do I Dare to Eat a Peach?" And in Jonathan Carroll''s "The Moose Church," a tourist in Sardinia is literally scarred by asking questions of death in his dreams . . .Ellen Datlow is the recipient of numerous honors, including multiple Shirley Jackson, Bram Stoker, Hugo, Locus, and World Fantasy Awards, and Life Achievement Awards from the Horror Writers Association and the World Fantasy Association, to name just a few.
