She was the winner of the Hugo Award (for her short story ""Boobs""), the Nebula (for her novella Unicorn Tapestry) and won the James Tiptree, Jr. Award twice, once retrospectively for the first two Holdfast books and then for The Conqueror's Child, final volume of the Holdfast series.

"""The best vampire novel I've ever read."" --Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn ""Among the genre's few modern classics."" --The New York Times Book Review ""Devastatingly powerful.... Savage and intense and brilliantly satisfying.... rich and impressive.... a serious, startling, and revolutionary work."" --The Washington Post ""Probably the best vampire novel ever written."" --Oxford Times ""A consensus classic, so recognized when first published in 1980.... It's a fascinating conception, handled with masterly skill. Nothing better has been done in this, er, vein since Bram Stoker's legendary Dracula in 1897. And, as a pure piece of writing, Charnas' deeply intelligent, disturbing novel may actually be the superior book."" --USA Today"
