Be warned. If you found Love in Vein too disturbingly dark, too exquisitely explicit, too deliciously erotic in the secrets it revealed -- you're going to adore Love in Vein II . Poppy Z. Brite has done it again with a provocative new collection even more dangerously seductive, more boldly erotic than her first. It is not for everyone. But it may be what you need.
Just like the title reads...This is for Dragon and Fantasy Lovers alike...Great collection of authors...
Book by Warrick, Patricia; Greenberg, Martin Harry; Olander, Joseph

When it comes to a capacity for passion and evil, women are every bit the equal of men. This collection of nearly 30 stories features vampire villainesses whose taste for blood and lust propel them into the dark corners that define the world of the undead. Spanning the spectrum from dramatic to satiric, these stories give the predator/prey relationship that underlies all vampire literature sharp and original little Supernatural thrills meet sexual politics in inventive tales like Chet Williamson's "...To Feel Another's Woe," Fritz Leiber's "The Girl with the Hungry Eyes," Barb D'Amato's "I Vant to Be Alone," and Joanna Russ's "My Dear Emily."
