Reading
DRACULA at the age of twelve ignited Margaret
L. Carter's interest in a wide range of horror, fantasy, and
science fiction. Vampires, however, have always remained close to
her heart, beginning with her first book, CURSE OF THE UNDEAD, an
anthology of vampire fiction.
Her
dissertation for the University of California (Irvine) contained a
chapter on DRACULA, and its publication in book form was shortly followed
by DRACULA: THE VAMPIRE AND THE CRITICS and THE VAMPIRE IN LITERATURE:
A CRITICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY. Her fiction includes stories in small press
magazines and in anthologies such as Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover
and "Sword and Sorceress" volumes; a werewolf novel, SHADOW
OF THE BEAST; a vampire novel, DARK CHANGELING, which won an Eppie
Award (presented by EPIC, an e-published authors' organization) in
2000 in the horror category; CHILD OF TWILIGHT, its sequel, an Eppie
finalist in horror in 2004; and other horror and paranormal romance
novels.
