title: Love in Vein: Twenty Original Tales of Vampiric Erotica
author:  Poppy Z. Brite 
description: Like scotch or very dry martinis, these 20 servings of "vampiric erotica" may be for many a resistible acquired taste. Those who do wind up enjoying this controversial new literature that goes "deeper than horror, beyond fear, to explore our darkest, most intimate hungers" may, however, find this anthology intoxicating. In it, the beast is beautiful, a situation probed by Charles de Lint, Gene Wolfe, and less-known others. Celebrating "unspeakable intimacies," the stories explore the subversive appeal of vampirism in all its manifestations as readers meet a color-blind veterinarian mysteriously--and, without regular refills, only temporarily--restored to a world of color by a strange elixir from a prostitute's third nipple; a vampire whose dying, mortal wife has nourished him for years by allowing him to hurt her, then draw her sensations of fear and pain from her for his own sustenance; and a pair of lesbians who literally copulate the father of one to death. Not as mainstream as Ann Rice, this anthology might be most comfortable in extensive and specialized horror collections. <i>Whitney Scott</i>

  Messier Than Ever

  His plan was to find a mate to give him offspring, not to bear the children himself! Can a
  centuries-old city vampire and a honky-tonk country honey accept each other’s unusual sexual needs?
  The perfect dream lover is definitely too good to be true, especially when you’ve been drinking in an
  Irish pub. What’s a male erotic dancer actually thinking during that lap dance?
  If you’re looking for the perfect romance with the perfect hero and heroine, this isn’t it! This is a
  series of spoofs, parodies, just-for-fun lighthearted take-offs. It’s for all us longtime, hard-core
  romance readers who can laugh at the clichés, purple prose and “suspend your disbelief” plot devices
  that haunt our beloved favorite genre.
