Dead And Almost Forgotten (A Pair Of Classic Sci-Fi Vampire Tales)

By Susan Hart

Letting Go Of My Vampire Lover, is all about two of the last vampires on earth. The only thing they have to contend with is roving bands of renegade humans. One of them develops wanderlust and discovers a group of humans and vampires cohabiting in the woods. Will this be the last nail in their coffins?

Last Of A Dying Earth is about what would happen if there were almost no humans left on earth and immortal vampires began to die. What would the last vampire do? What would he have on the top of his bucket list? Probably not something you would imagine.
