Vampire’s Ventures is a wonderful compilation of dark enchantments. LindaAnn LoSchiavo’s poetry is a rich tapestry of both new and original vampire lore. While discovering these pages, I found myself reading quickly, fueled by the excitement of her content, while at the same time, lingering on the beauty of her words.

Vampire Ventures, LindaAnn’s new collection, is a rich cocktail of Vampire Lore. Her eclectic style, bold and imaginative choice of language and sophisticated word play, adds gravitas to a beloved genre. “The Tale of the Vintner’s Daughter” is a particular favorite, highly evocative, nuanced and as deftly constructed as a spider web.

I was hooked on “The Tale of the Vintner’s Daughter” from the first stanza. Here is a collection of formal verse, a buffet of various forms and lush language, with Fibonacci and haiku in between as clever palate-cleansers.

★★★★★ 5/5
Vampire Ventures showcases LoSchiavo’s formal versatility: Fibonacci, haiku, golden shovel, villanelle, sonnet, prose poem, and the decasyllabic lines of poems that seem otherwise unconstrained. She’s equally adept at shifting among tones, from the eerie to the ironic. Her work is encrusted with images and phrases that will sparkle in the dark behind your eyelids long after you’ve finished reading.

Vampire Ventures manages to thread the needle between the achingly beautiful tales of the Gothic vampire and the more urbane, tech-savvy vampires of today. Dripping with details, LindaAnn LoSchiavo’s poetry conjures scene after scene of vampiric desire, but with such a depth and variety of tone that the reader could never get bored, no matter how many times they reread this collection.

There’s romance, humor & blood in Vampire Ventures — like the old times.
