	Three Vampire Tales: Dracula, Carmilla, and The Vampyre (New Riverside Editions) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		"Three Vampire Tales" is a collection of 19th century vampire literature that follows the increasing popularity of vampires in English literature, from Lord Byron's 1812 poem, "The Giaour", to the culmination of that century's vampire tales in Bram Stoker's 1897 gothic horror novel "Dracula".
		The three featured stories are: John Polidori's "The Vampyre", the first vampire short story in English, published in 1819; "Carmilla" by Irish writer Sheridan Le Fanu, published in 1872 as part of Le Fanu's "In a Glass Darkly" collection; and Bram Stoker's mythic 1897 novel "Dracula".
		The first vampire tale in English emerges from the ghost-story-writing contest in 1816 that also produced "Frankenstein." Sheridan LeFanu's novella, "Carmilla" describes the dangers of a female vampire, a story which in turned influenced Bram Stoker, whose "Dracula" provided the archetype of the monster that has influenced countless movies and novels.

		To this end several of the students were disguised in the habits of common labourers, and spread in groups of two or three at convenient distances from each other along the road by which the professor was expected.

		Helmer's retelling differs from other versions of the tale by how the Wolf tries to trick the Pig on three different occasions, and by how the Pig rids the world of the Bad Wolf.
		An interesting feature of the book is the placement of three appropriate items at the top of each page: the first story has three spoons of varying sizes, the second story has three bells of varying sizes, and the third story has a piece of straw, a stick, and three bricks.

		It's a dense novel, a sprawling, complex monster of a book populated with a prolific number of characters caught up in a narrative structure that, frankly, does not lend itself to conventional storytelling.
		Setting aside for a moment the challenge of distinguishing Saruman from Sauron (both of whom reside in eerily similar tall, dark towers), you are faced with the larger problem of how to be faithful to the world of the story and somehow not send an unitiated audience into information overload.
		Not to mention that we were embarking on something never before attempted: making three films at once on a 274-day shooting schedule that required filming 6 days a week in more than 100 locations with more than 20 major speaking roles.

	Black History Review: Books : Publish and Perish: Three Tales of Tenure and Terror
		This collection of three novellas gets points for creativity and occasional moments of disconcerting humor, but the stories aren't really that scary and tend toward the predictable.
		Hynes' unusual milieu is the strangely stressful world of academia, in which aspiring professors think in fatuous postmodern gibberish about the deconstruction of texts or gender as performance, and your career is over if you can't get your dry paper published in a crusty journal that is only read by other professors.
		All three are beatifully and humorously written, with plenty of dark humor thrown in the brew!

	California Newsreel - THREE TALES FROM SENEGAL
		The three Senegalese shorts in this brief film anthology adapt the ancient African storytelling tradition to a modern medium and setting.
		If the novel and its close relative, the feature film, reflect the complex, overlapping narratives of urban life, then these cinematic fables encapsulate the basic beliefs which support ordinary Africans as they try to navigate through a rapidly changing world.
		The hero of this tale (and perhaps Mambety's alter ego) is Marigo, a penniless musician living in a shanty town, relentlessly harassed by his formidable landlady.

		Combining the wit of David Lodge with Poe's delicious sense of the macabre, these are three witty, spooky novellas of satire set in academia—a world where Derrida rules, love is a "complicated ideological position," and poetic justice is served with an ideological twist.

		Cabrera Infante’s punning, digressive style demands space, so this trio of tales is an antithesis to the novel the author has been writing for years, “Cuerpos divinos” (Divine bodies), and still hasn’t finished.
		In the second tale, the man tells his lover about a woman, an American tourist who was swept down a storm sewer after a rainstorm and washed out to sea.
		The three tales are variations on one another, so the author’s English version consists of variations on variations.

		The influence of HP Lovecraft on the author is obvious, even before he drops a reference to Miskatonic University.

		Among the central players in this triptych of novellas are a feminist historian having a love affair with an executive, an Irish beauty who becomes a saintly nurse in New York and John James Audubon, the American naturalist who slaughtered birds for art and science.
		The title -- which means both "a loose gown" and "a loose woman" -- sums up this seamy, fact-based tale of an 18th-century London prostitute who is driven from the age of 14 to commit terrible deeds by her desire for fine clothes and the glittery trappings of a better life.
		The result is a "heady, colorful romp of a novel" that is "almost impossible to resist," Laura Jamison wrote in 2001.
