Love in Vein: Twenty Original Tales of Vampiric Erotica - Softcover

A VAMPIRE WHO FEEDS ON SOMETHING FAR MORE INTIMATE THAN BLOOD
A LEGENDARY SEXUAL DISMEMBERMENT PERFORMED ON STAGE
A BOY INTRODUCED TO THE SWEETEST PLEASURES OF HELL

The classic horror tale is about fear. But now there is a controversial new literature of the macabre that goes deeper than horror, beyond fear, to explore our darkest, most intimate hungers. The ones even lovers are forbidden to share.

Acclaimed dark fantasy author Poppy Z. Brite has brought together this new genre’s most powerful and seductive authors in an original collection of vampiric erotica, a shameless celebration of unspeakable intimacies. It is not for everyone. But neither is the night.

“Impressive...maybe the fiction of the 90’s won’t be so dull and recycled after all”
