Blood in the Rain

In this collection of erotic vampire tales from mostly Northwestern authors, vampires range from classic to alien, from dom to sub, from blood-drinking to soul-sucking. In Jeff Mann's "Summer Solstice Sacrifice", a burly, kilted vampire faces losing a lover or turning him before it's too late. Colleen Anderson's "Hold Back the Night" explores how cultural norms divide two very different women in Mumbai. A male vampire watches his wife solve his murder in Jocelyn Gray's "The Longest Death of the Year". Sara Dobie Bauer's "Forever Dead" brings us a sarcastic, vamp-hunting detective with an uncomfortable hankering for a hot young vampire. Stories range from mildly titillating to super-hot, with a variety of couplings and ménages. One caveat - not all vampires ask for clear consent, but mostly everyone is enjoying themselves by the end. These stories are erotic horror in nature and should only be consumed by those over 18.
