Stagestruck Vampires and Other Phantasms (Paperback)

Hugo, Nebula, and Tiptree award?winning author Suzy McKee Charnas offers up her lush stories in this compelling retrospective story collection. In Stagestruck Vampires, the supernatural and the real intertwine seamlessly. A villainous maestro is redeemed by his lovely, apt pupil in ?Beauty and the Opera or The Phantom Beast." Inside the ?Unicorn Tapestry," a psychotherapist stalks a vampire. A dazzling performance of Tosca is marred by a shocking murder during ?A Musical Interlude."

This collection features original work by Charnas?the mystical novelette, ?Peregrines," and two original essays. Also included is a collaborative story on vampire themes, ?Advocates," written with Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, author of the Saint-Germain Chronicles.
