The first openly gay horror collection. This book set the stage for to Vampires Anonymous.

A collection of short stories, many involving vampires, all involving queers. Fun and often in a lighthearted sarcastic style. The stories cover many types of characters including ghouls, vampires, killers, ghosts and demons.

From the publisher 10/07/1997

The realms of nightmare and reality converge in eight tales of suspense and the supernatural in this Lambda Literary Award-winning collection. Featuring a gruesome Halloween party, a vampire whose conscience bothers him, and a suburbanite with a killer lawn, these stories contain just the right amount of horror, humor, and eroticism.
