4 | Vamps Galore! | “Teeth” is a decent anthology of vampire (i.e., paranormal) stories and poems. They were all short but sweet. Some were gritty and dark, not the usual Twilightish tales of roses and merriment. The vampires ranged from brooding to nostalgic. Each story provided a different view of being an immortal/vampire.<br /><br />T... | [] | 006193514X | 006193514X | AEGYU6OM2X66SMZN6AF3TSQ3N5PQ | 1,498,839,229,253 | 0 | false |

4 | #serialkillerwithanagenda | I enjoyed “Just try to Stop Me”, especially when I compare it to “Now that She’s Gone”. This story was more cohesive and easier to follow.
