There are vampires seeking justice or vengeance, like THE LADY BRIGHT. And there are characters like CLARA CROFTON or ALINSKA, who are both predators and victims.  VAMPIRES: FIRST BLOOD VOLUME II - THE VAMPIRE LADIES collects the original adventures of the daughters of darkness who returned from the dead to pit their supernatural powers against the entrenched forces of patriarchy.   This anthology comes complete with introductory notes and detailed glossaries to make these surprisingly contemporary stories come alive for a new generationLilith, from "The Alphabet of Ben Sira"The Bride of Corinth, by GoetheOneiza, from Southey's "Thalaba the Destroyer"Brunhilda, from Raupach's "Wake Not the Dead"Alinska, from Lamothe-Langon's "The Vampire, or the Virgin of Hungary"The Vampire Bride, by LiddellClarimonde, from Gautier's "The Dead in Love"The Lady Bright, from Maxwell's "The Vampire"Clara Crofton, from Rymer's "Varney the Vampyre"Alice, from Turgenev's "Phantoms"Vespertilia, from Crawford's "A Mystery of the Campagna" and Watson's "Vespertilia"The Woman Who Did Not Care, from Kipling's "A Fool There Was"Countess Dolingen, from Stoker's "Dracula's Guest"
