They’re beautiful and dangerous. Mysterious and merciless and one kiss can awaken a hunger that will leave you craving for all eternity, so a bit like Marmite then, but with fangs and added sex.

This book has three separate stories in it, from Todd Gregory, Chase Masters and ‘Lambda award winner’ Sean Wolfe, and all centre around fit, hung gay men and their meetings with the undead, who also luckily happen to be charismatic, handsome and lustful strangers, who all give and get more than they bargained for.

In the style of modern vampires, like ‘Buffy’,  ‘Twilight’ and ‘True Blood’ these vampires are glam and sassy, sexually available and insatiable and funny on occasion.

Each of the stories centers around a different type of man, two human, one vampire. They each eagerly discover their own destinies and have a lot of convincing and erotic sex along the way. This is like a bastard cross between Anne Rice and Mills & Boon.

If you’re currently caught up in the vampire craze and have a limited imagination of your own, then this book might be just the thing in the middle of the night, to let yourself succumb to your dark longings, explore every undead illicit temptation and let the bloodlust wash over you.  The use of the vampire metaphor to explore forbidden and transformative experience is an interesting undertow to these three stories, but perhaps that’s not best explored here.

Just don’t wonder about the groaning and moaning coming from that coffin! It’s Bran Stoker spinning in his grave.
