Love in Vein II: Eighteen More Original Tales of Vampiric Erotica » (Reissue)

Poppy Z. Brite is the author of seven novels, three collections of short stories, and much miscellanea. Known for her horror fiction, at present she is working on a series of novels and short stories set in the New Orleans restaurant world. Her novel Liquor was recently published to general critical acclaim, and her followup novel, Prime, will be released in 2005. She lives in New Orleans with her husband Chris, a chef.

Love in Vein II, the follow-up edition to the wildly popular Love in Vein, compiles eighteen original stories by some of today's most acclaimed dark fantasy authors. From the New Orleans goth scene to the deathpunk bars of gay Amsterdam, from the Dark behind the lights of Las Vegas to the secret lovers who live in Bela Lugosi's tomb—these platinum popstars, lascivious lap dancers, naughty necrophiles all have one thing in common. For them, desire and hunger are one.
