Jacqueline Lichtenberg - House Of Zeor (Playboy, 1981) Cover: Paul Alexander Thanks to Dr. Terror for suggesting this one and providing cover scan. I've never come across a copy, nor read any of the Sime-Gen novels, but Margaret L. Carter lists House Of Zeor with an 'En' (denoting 'energy draining predator') in The Vampire In Literature, so it possibly warrants a mention.

Great covers, James, very sympathetic to 'forties pulp. The tentacled monstrosity was painted by Rowena Morrill and the crab attack is one of Jim Steranko's. We've a thread for Unknown HERE

Harold S. DeLay Everil Worrell - The Hollow Moon: ( Weird Tales, May 1939). A fascinating tale of a lunar vampire and strange icebergs in the Pacific OceanHarold S. DeLay There really is a man in the moon. And he hates you. When a yacht is wrecked on rocks in the Pacific, the survivors are washed ashore on a desert island. They've a little food, plenty of booze, but face slowly dying of thirst. It doesn't help matters that they loathe one another. The married couple, Arthur and Lisa Gibbs, mess up their drunken attempt at carrying through their suicide pact. The mysterious, anti-social Valerie takes to living in her own cave until attacked by a giant "snake" which sinks its fangs into her neck. Galen is killed outright in a similar attack. Scientific explorer Michael Sydney records all with a view to stuffing the MS into a corked gin bottle and tossing it into the sea. Ultimately, it reaches "civilisation" by a very different route. The desperate party are saved - so they think - by Le Noir, a supercilious, multi-lingual deaths head of a man they first mistake for a monstrous caped python. Le Noir invites them aboard his vessel which resembles a submarine. Better they'd remained to die where they were as he is an evil space vampire and his rocket ship is headed for home, a ghastly kingdom within the unlit caverns of the Moon, where he and his fellow ghouls and bloodsuckers will feast upon them body and soul .... Is there no escape? Concludes with three pages of convincing supportive testimony. It really happened. And it could happen again. Harold S. DeLay

Is there a thread for regular vampire short stories...? I don't think so, though they probably infest every section of the board, and there are several threads devoted to specific vampire anthologies.

Space vampires, what a great concept. Who among us would have come up with that?
