The Vampire Tapestry

Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

The Vampire Tapestry is a 1980 horror novel by American author Suzy McKee Charnas. The story follows a vampire by the name of Dr. Edward Lewis Weyland as he preys upon humanity while simultaneously trying to uncover who and what he truly is. Weyland is unlike many traditional vampires, such as Bram Stoker's Dracula, in that his condition stems from biologic rather than supernatural causes. This fact, coupled with Weyland's social behaviors, has led some critics to consider The Vampire Tapestry as a work of feminist science fiction. Initially, Suzy McKee Charnas did not intend to publish The Vampire Tapestry as a full-length novel. Instead, Charnas claims that the first chapter, "The Ancient Mind at Work", spun another story out of itself, and eventually a book with five stories all connected through Dr. Weyland. The third of these stories, "Unicorn Tapestry", was adapted into a play called Vampire Dreams after being published as a separate novella which won the 1981 Nebula Award for Best Novella.
