Reviews"The best vampire novel I've ever read." -- Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn "Among the genre's few modern classics." -- The New York Times Book Review "Devastatingly powerful.... Savage and intense and brilliantly satisfying.... rich and impressive.... a serious, startling, and revolutionary work." -- The Washington Post "Probably the best vampire novel ever written." -- Oxford Times "A consensus classic, so recognized when first published in 1980....

And, as a pure piece of writing, Charnas' deeply intelligent, disturbing novel may actually be the superior book." -- USA Today

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 ., Now in Orb, the vampire book Stephen King called "Scary, entertaining, suspenseful.... unputdownable"
