Cecilia Tan: Blood Kiss, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Vampires have always been creatures of the margins between life and death, terror and desire, the forbidden and the irresistible. In Blood Kiss, seven masterful storytellers plunge deep into the erotic heart of the vampire mythos, embracing its sensuality with fearless delight.

For centuries, the vampire has been cast as the ultimate seducer: a being for whom hunger is intimate, the chase a dance of flesh and instinct. Once condemned as sinful, the vampire's sensual nature now reveals itself as a celebration of the body-its power, its surrender, its exquisite vulnerability. These stories revel in that primal allure, exploring the magic that flickers where blood meets desire.

Unbound by mortal rules or narrow proprieties, the vampires in these pages cross boundaries of gender, orientation, and appetite. They seduce men and women alike; they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, kinky, and gloriously transgressive. Their desires run as deep as their thirst.

Here, fear and lust intertwine-just as they always have. The "little death" of orgasm, the immortal spark of erotic power, the dangerous ecstasy of the bite: a vampire's embrace may mean death, eternal life, or both in a single, shuddering moment. These tales delve beyond gore and fear to illuminate the lush, seductive undercurrent that has always pulsed beneath the vampire legend.

In Blood Kiss, fear becomes excitement. Predation becomes seduction. Death becomes eros. Step into the night. Let yourself be bitten.
