Question
Hi there, quite a while ago I read a story from an anthology of short stories from various authors and I have a feeling that the title is simply 'Vampire' but I am unsure if this is correct. The story was about a woman who fell in love and married a vampire and their life together. I believe that within the story they encountered many difficulties with his conditions, perhaps anger problems (if I'm remembering correctly). But in particular I remember that their daughter was taken ill and had to go to hospital but they were worried because they thought their secret would be uncovered. I'm sorry if I haven't provided enough information but if you have any ideas as to what this story might be I would grateful!

Thank you!

Answer
Hello Justine,

Due to some family matters, I have not been able to research the question thoroughly, and can't find or think of any book such as the one you describe, although this is probably due to my lack of research. I will be going away for the next two weeks due to the same family matters, but once I get back I will try my hardest to find your book. I'm really sorry for having to delay your answer that long. So I don't leave you with nothing, I did find a website with a list of vampire short stories. I havn't gone through it much, but hopefully the book you are thinking of is in it. I will put it below.

Once again i'm really sorry for this.
Andrew.
