Dead Red Heart is an anthology of Australian vampire short stories edited by Russell B. Farr, published by Ticonderoga Publications in 2011.
Publishers Weekly noted: "there are still many solid tales to satisfy vampire fans".
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."
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."
The anthology won the Australasian Shadows Award for Edited Publication in 2011.
