Epiphanies of Blood by Bill Congreve

"These are stories of madness, the love of children, and terror that breaks through the calm of everyday life to reveal the shifting uncertainties that lie below. Reading Congreve's mutant vampire fiction you won't know whether to be terrified or delighted: A father pursues his errant son into the wilds of far north Queensland, chasing more than mere revenge; a vampire child murders her father in a small country town, and Father Luigi Calvino must discover why; a millionaire socialite kidnaps a girl child from the basement of a vampire's suburban home; a father hires a private investigator to find the body of his daughter, Cindy, on Sydney's mean streets, but Cindy is alive and much more than she seems; hack journalist Tony Masters is doublecrossed by his editor and consigned to Hell to interview Satan, endlessly, and there he meets a creature out of the worst nightmares of a Japanese B-grade monster movie producer; and a mother vampire struggles to feed and protect her children in Sydney's western suburbs."
