Description:
A collection of cutting-edge gay male vampire stories. The tales are darkly sensual and engaging, yet complicated in their relationship to eroticism and the myths of blood, devourment, isolation, freedom and ecstasy.

Qvamp says:

A series of short stories focusing entirely on gay vampires, followed by Brothers of the Night.' The stories covered a lot of territory, and some within this collection are absolutely fantastic. Within these stories are love, sex, desire, S&M, obsession and religion. A must for those who want to fully explore the gay vampire.

Overall Rating: A Queer horror Rating: A+

Overall, this is a good collection of short stories. I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend it to like-minded vamps. The last four stories in particular were fantastic. I re-read each of them immidiately.
