Product Description
Book Description
In His Hunger by William J. Mann, Jeremy is held prisoner and has erotic dreams while his captor grows younger and more irresistible with each drop of blood. In Sting by Michael Thomas Ford, Ben encounters soft-spoken Titus Durham, a man with a hidden and irresistible obsession. In Brandon's Bite by Sean Wolfe, Brandon Lugo can have any man he wants - but what he wants in return is more than any lover could give. In Devoured by Jeff Mann, Derek Maclaine is still recovering from his lover's ancient murder, but when his new lover is threatened, he promises to have his revenge.

Format:Kindle Edition
this book came in to my possession in a box load of books. I am a perfectly straight female but the concept of the anthology intrigued me and I decided to read it. I am so glad I did! The sheer power of the writing carried me through this hefty paperback, with its very long intricate stories (allowing space and time for the characters to develop and evolve) and its exciting vampire overtones. The theme of the anthology demands much of the writers it features and it works.
The world of gay men and vampires collide with astonishing sexuality and in some places blood guts and heartbreak but it is good, good reading.

chilling from the first bite
27 Aug 2003
Format:Paperback
A thrilling, erotically charged page-turner with literary merit. Kudos especially to poet/essayist Jeff Mann. Mann delivers a tasty meal on every page, mixing erotic content with a rich, descriptive, poetic voice. His surroundings, ranging from the moors of Scotland to the city streets of NYC to the mountains of West Virginia, are nearly as "human" as his living (and dead) characters. Not simply slam-bam-bite-me-man erotica, and not for the faint of heart. Let's hear more from Mann's devilish Derek.

Believe the "buzz"
29 May 2003
Format:Paperback
Unlike a previous reviewer, I AM a fan of gay vampire fiction, and of gay horror in general. I picked this book up because I'd read some of the authors' previous work in books like QUEER FEAR I and II, SONS OF DARKNESS, and BROTHERS OF THE NIGHT (all edited by Michael Rowe, in case you want to look them up). So how does this collection stack up? William J. Mann's contribution is an obvious ode to the glorious old cult supernatural soap opera, DARK SHADOWS, and if you read it that way it's a lot of fun. Sean Wolfe and Jeff Mann are new names to me, and although Wolfe's story didn't grab me, I really liked the second Mr. Mann's ability to bring out the most in his setting. But I have to say, it was Michael Thomas Ford's "Sting" that kept me up way past midnight. I saved it for last, because it sounded the most interesting, and was it ever. This novella is totally unique, not just in gay horror but in ALL horror. His writing is gorgeous, and the imagery he creates is both beautiful and terrifying. I defy anyone to read his descriptions of the Death Puppet and be able to sleep with the lights on. I, too, would love to see this story made into a film, especially if George Clooney plays Ben!

A smorgasbord for the senses
19 Aug 2003
Format:Paperback
Four different authors means a potpourri of styles and stories to choose from. From the archetypical "Barnabus" from the old "Dark Shadows" series to a new Lestat-like hero that hails from West Virginia via Scotland, this book offers variety, interesting twists, and...well, more than a smattering of sex.
William J. Mann pays homage to the 60's cult classic with an update for the new millennium. If gym bunnies are your fare, then Sean Wolfe offers an interesting twist that seems to coincide best with popular WB television fare. Two stories really stand out in this collection, however.
Michael Thomas Ford really shines in his unique twist on an old tale. Who knew those Razorback Mountains were fodder for such a captivating addition to vampire lore? Mr. Ford really shows great creativity and style for a truly intriguing variation on what can sometimes be a stagnant genre. Hats off to Mr. Ford and all his names! Between panting hard you'll want to keep turning the pages to find out how this one, uhm, climaxes.
Jeff Mann's "Devoured" out-Rice's the honored diva in just 100+ pages. An epic novel captured in the space of a few chapters, Mr. Mann's lyrical prose follows a new vampire hero, Derek, from his inception in Scotland to the hills of West Virginia. Derek romps in what might be called, "a bit of the rough," which adds some great spice and thrill to what otherwise might have been a rather "twinkified" collection. Can't wait to find out what Derek gets up to next.
Buy it. Read it. Thank me later.
