Dead Red Heart is an anthology of Australian vampire short stories edited by Russell B. Farr, published by Ticonderoga Publications in 2011. [1]
Publishers Weekly noted: "there are still many solid tales to satisfy vampire fans". [2]
Writing on SFSite, Mario Guslandi noted: "The hefty volume... assembles thirty-three stories where diversity is the main feature. Some tales have a distinct Aussie taste in terms of location and local sub-culture, which contributes to shed a new light on vampires, their habits and their personalities." [3]
Nalini Haynes writing for Dark Matter Zine noted: "an interesting, mostly engaging, assortment of short stories seeking to portray varying interpretations of vampire mythology. The sense of place, this is Australia, is the one consistent flavour of this anthology." [4]
The anthology won the Australasian Shadows Award for Edited Publication in 2011. [5]
