Ilustration Conducive To Books The Vampire Tapestry

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.

Comment On Of Books The Vampire Tapestry

Interesting take on vampire lore. This was actually 5 novellas strung together by one vampire being the main character. Each novella is told from a different perspective. My favorite was the 3rd story in which our vampire sees a psychiatrist about his "illusion" of being a vampire. The story really gets interesting once she figures out his illusion is no illusion at all. I enjoyed the idea of vampire not being a supernatural being, nor a being with super hero abilities, but a creature who just

I've read a lot of vampire fiction, and out of the pack, this strange and vicious book holds a distinguished place. It is certainly very compelling - the prose flowed easily, the dialog has an intelligence to it that's neither forced nor facile, and the author can paint scenes vividly.I do have a problem with the Dr. Weyland character. I know that with each generational hibernation he forgets all the previous lives he's led, and maybe that's an evolutionary advantage, since as he surmised such

A shockingly well-written novel, especially for the paperback horror boom era, The Vampire Tapestry has unfortunately fallen into obscurity and I think thats a shame. What one should probably know upfront is this isnt a novel in the conventional sense; its five longish stories told in chronological order that portray the reawakening and strange life of our main character, the Vampire. These tales do connect in small and important ways, but the end result is not so much a complete novel but . .

No capes. No bats. No fangs. Charnas takes an almost anthropological look at what a predator whose main prey is man might realy be like, and the picture is amazing and haunting and sad.

Charnas is a capable writer but this book really, really SUCKED. I read about 3/4 of it and I just couldn't bear to read anymore. I can't imagine how anyone could take a vampire and make him so completely and unbearably dull. This vampire didn't even have fangs-he had a probiscus under his tongue and used his tongue to suck blood from arms. The vampire was older and ran a sleep-study program at a university which was profoundly fitting since he put me to sleep every time I tried to read about

Id never heard of this vampire novel before I was given a copy for my birthday. The blurb describes a vampire academic which, frankly, is enough to interest me. The Vampire Tapestry is certainly a original and distinctive take on the vampire genre. The narrative is episodic in structure and each extended chapter focuses on a human being who has a significant impact on Weyland, the vampire. There are five chapters and I found that their appeal was concentrated in the centre. The first and last

Ugh. Got to the part where the main character starts to blame the victim for being raped on campus by saying "no real woman" would let that happen to her and got so disgusted I couldn't finish. This followed by her saying another character was all but a bleeding hippy for wanting to save the ozone layer and then she slips into some weird fantasy right after where she's remembering hunting endangered big cats in Africa during her youth. I think I'll take my vampire novels without Ilsa, She Wolf
