About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Jane Yolen is the award-winning author of more than two hundred books, including fantasy, science fiction, and poetry, which earned her the moniker the American Hans Christian Andersen. Her titles include Odysseus in the Serpent Maze, The Dragon's Boy, and The Girl Who Loved the Wind. Jane Yolen divides her time between a farmhouse in Massachusetts and a house in Scotland.
Grade 5-7-- For those who are ready to be immersed in the world of vampires, this collection is a must. Yolen and Greenberg have compiled 12 original tales from various authors and combined them into a highly readable, entertaining, delightfully creepy, and sometimes funny accumulation. "There's No Such Thing" involves two sisters, one of whom is severely asthmatic, the other a vampire. So well told, it draws readers in and sends shivers up the spine. "The Blood-Ghoul of Scarsdale," written in the vernacular, will appeal to teen mall goers. "A Cold Stake" is set in the future. The depth and breadth of these selections will make Vampires enormously appealing to all types of readers. The arrangement of the stories flows; the selections get better and better. A popular buy for youngsters who keep asking for more "scary stories." --Molly Kinney, formerly at Miami Dade Public Library System, Miami, FL
