Five books for people who crave more vampires

Linden A. Lewis is a queer writer and world wanderer currently living in Madrid with a couple of American cats who have little kitty passports.

Tall and tattooed, and the author of The First Sister and The Second Rebel, Linden exists only because society has stopped burning witches.

At Tor.com they tagged five "new vampire books that absolutely deserve to be added to the Bram Stoker canon," including:

Walk Among Us by Cassandra Khaw, Genevieve Gornichec, and Caitlin Starling

Walk Among Us is another anthology, this time with a tie-in to the Vampire: the Masquerade series of roleplay games. But don’t worry if you’re not well-versed in the World of Darkness; each story is perfectly approachable as a beginner. In Genevieve Gornichec’s “A Sheep Among Wolves”, a young woman tries to fight her depression with a support group that turns out to be more than she bargained for. In Cassandra Khaw’s “Fine Print”, alpha male tech bro learns what it means to be prey instead of predator. And in Caitlin Starling’s “The Land of Milk and Honey”, ethical farming is taken to an entirely new level of unsettling.
