Summary: 3 Stars
Vampires Wine and Roses is another anthology of similar content to some past efforts - a lot of early public domain pieces, along with some celebrity bits, Woody Allen, Lennie Bruce, Rod Serling, etc. There are some stretches that would beat Mister Fantastic included here too, as part of the theme. Romeo and Juliet? King Arthur? Perhaps the editor had indulged in a bit too much of the middle bit of the title when making the decisions, or just liked them too much.
Also, a lot of poetry and even a song from Sting's Dream of the Blue Turtles - no argument with that, given I have that one.

Dracula's guest employs some of the creep local folk tales and legends. The significance of a blue flame from the ground, the howling of wolves, that sort of thing.
Here, a coachman in a coach drawn by midnight black horses, picks up a traveller. He is growing increasingly freaked out all the time.
