Blood Muse is a timeless collection of tales to put with such as Polidori's The Vampyre and Bram Stoker's Dracula, all set in the world of the arts - in painting, sculpture, music, the cinema, the theater and the dance, among others. It is for those lovers of the arts who like their entertainment dripping with high culture, and who enjoy scarifying tales of the artist's dark obsession with immortal fame, featuring contributions from outstanding authors, selected and edited by master anthologists Esther M. Friesner and Martin H. Greenberg.
