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.About the Author
Suzy McKee Charnas (1939-2023) was the author of over a dozen works of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, including the Holdfast series from Tor Books and the Sorcery Hall series of books for young adults. She was the winner of the Hugo Award (for her short story "Boobs"), the Nebula (for her novella Unicorn Tapestry) and won the James Tiptree, Jr. Award twice, once retrospectively for the first two Holdfast books and then for The Conqueror's Child, final volume of the Holdfast series. She adapted her novel, The Vampire Tapestry, for the stage in the late 1990s.
She was born and brought up in New York City, and lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico.You May Also Like
