Loading... Love in Vein II : Eighteen More Tales of Vampiric Erotica (1997)by Poppy Z. Brite (Editor)
None. Several of the stories in this anthology was just okay for me, but there were a few that I found outstanding. My favorite, of course, is Neil Gaiman's "Snow, Glass, Apples," which is one of my favorites of his short stories, a brilliant retelling of Snow White. I also liked "Bela's Plot" by Caitlín R. Kiernan, "The Dripping of Sundried Wineskins" by Brian Hodge, "The I of the Eye of the Worm" by Janet Berliner and George Guthridge, and "Dusting the Flowers" by David J. Schow. ( )This is not the best of the series. The first was more entertaining. I think these stories want to be both scary and erotic. Unfortunately, most are neither. I'd recommend the Hot Blood series as a better alternative. A fine second helping of vampiric fiction, edited by Poppy Z. Brite and containing these stories: "Snow, Glass, Apples" by Neil Gaiman "Bela's Plot" by Caitlin R. Kiernan "Armies of the Heart" by Christopher Fowler "Whispers in Walled Tombs" by O'Neil de Noux "Ceilings and Sky" by Lucy Taylor "The Fly Room" by Th. Metzger "The Subtle Ties That Bind" by David Niall Wilson "When Memory Fails" by Roberta Lannes "The I of the Eye of the Worm" by Janet Berliner and George Guthridge "Stigmata" by Jean-Daniel Breque "The Dripping of Sundered Wineskins" by Brian Hodge "I'm Not Well but I'm Better" by Pat Califia "Kingyo no fun" by Nicholas Royle "First Date" by Richard Laymon "To Have You with Me" by Randy Fox "Dusting the Flowers" by David J. Schow "Bloodlight" by Stephen Mark Rainey "The Privilege of the Dead" by Thomas S. Roche no reviews | add a review
