Review:
“Collins’ debut novel [Sunglasses After Dark] infuses the ancient myth of the vampire with a modern beat, embedding elements of the horror genre in a compelling psychological thriller.” —Publishers Weekly
“Horror fans will immediately recognize the name of Nancy Collins, possibly the most original voice in the world of vampire fiction since Anne Rice published Interview With the Vampire.” —Film Threat
“Sunglasses After Dark is a wild ride.” —Fangoria
“Nancy Collins . . . has crafted a vision of the undead, fanged bloodsuckers that is steeped both in the rage, alienation and aggression of punk, and the rich, homespun vernacular of the rural Southern storytelling tradition.” —Paper
“If there is such a things as a splatterpunk masterpiece, Nancy A. Collins has written it.” —Asimov’s Science Fiction
“Collins . . . chronicles excess with an almost elegant stylistic restraint . . . Sunglasses After Dark is replete with eroticism and violence, movement and color.” —Locus
“Nancy Collins’ bone-colored, blood-smeared star—for she is certainly a star—stands bright and hot at the pinnacle of the horror heap.” —Joe R. Lansdale, author of Bubba Ho-Tep
“A street poetess of pain and rage, Nancy A. Collins has cast an undeniable shadow across the tradition of dark and fantastic fiction.” —Cemetery Dance Magazine
“[Collins’] prose sings—now moody, now graphic, now scattershot, now lyric; her characters are ready to step off the page.” —Mystery Scene
“Collins has created a unique vampire in a very strange world that looks a lot like our own.” —Science Fiction Chronicle
“Sunglasses [After Dark] was great.” —Joe Bob Briggs
