This is three short stories. Susan Squires "Sacrilege" is an approach to vampirism that I have never read before. Magda is a "made" vamp as opposed to being a "born" vamp. Her maker no longer cares for her and has replaced her by making another (Sarah) that he loves.

Heart-broken, Magda feeds her despair by using her beauty to entrap men and leaves bodies all over the place because she can't stop feeding and drains her victims to the last drop. Julien, her maker, sends her to a monastery to be cured of her addiction for blood.

Very interesting story about vamps.
