Product Description
Never-before-published vampire stories by Charlaine Harris, Jim Butcher, Kelley Armstrong, and many others. Suspenseful, surprising, sometimes dark, sometimes humorous-these all-new stories will ensure that readers never think of vampires (or birthdays) in quite the same way again. In New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris's "Dracula Night," Sookie Stackhouse is the only human at the annual commemoration of Dracula's birth. But this year, the Prince of Darkness actually shows up-and finds Sookie to be a tasty-looking present. New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher's crime-solving wizard Harry Dresden, of the Dresden Files novels, heads to a role-playing party to give his vampire brother a birthday present in "It's My Birthday Too," only to discover there are some bloodthirsty party crashers who don't share their brotherly love. In "Twilight," Cassandra DuCharme, who appeared in New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong's Dime Store Magic, knows she has to kill to live as a vampire another year-but finds herself disturbingly disinterested in the hunt. Plus ten more bloody good birthday stories that take the cake.

It's been a few years since I read this book, but I remember loving some of the short stories. I remember wishing one or two would be turned into full length novels.
For all you whiners out there, crying about how this isn't a Sookie Stackhouse novel, why didn't you read the description ahead of time? Besides, if I remember correctly, the book is much thinner than the average Sookie novel. It's your own fault for not looking into the matter first, and you shouldn't blame the book for not being a novel. Especially since it says, in big red letters "Charlaine harris, Jim Butcher, Kelley Armstrong and others" on the cover. That headline is even larger than the anthology's name.
 A rather "lifeless" collection of stories February 14, 2010

As a high school English teacher I don't have much free time to read for pleasure. I love the Sookie Stackhouse series and, mistakenly as it turns out, thought these would be as entertaining. I found the stories mostly dull, the plots unimaginative and the writing repetitive and formulaic. In short, this book contained most of the mistakes I caution my beginning writers against making. I lost count of the number of times I realized my freshmmen could (and have) created more engaging stories.
