Short Stories
Midnight Bites

by Rachel Caine
NAL, March 2016, $9.99

If you read YA vampire fiction, then you know about Rachel Caine’s Morganville Vampires series. A small Texas town with vampires? What’s not to like? That series appears to have gone on hiatus for a while, but Midnight Bites collects 22 short stories about various characters from the books, sometimes presenting their backstories, sometimes giving a glimpse into events not covered in the novels, and sometimes enlarging on her characters’ relationships. Six of the stories are new, and many of the others have been hard to find up until now. Caine knows her vampires and provides each story with an interesting and entertaining introduction. If you’ve ever wondered about the series, this would be a good place to find out more, and if you’re already a fan, you’ll want this book for sure.
