About The Book
A haunting anthology of vampire fiction—one that brings a colorful new dimension to one of the world's most erotic and enduring myths.

Featuring stories from some of the most popular African American writers:

Omar Tyree writes about The Old South, which falls prey to a handsome young vampire with a taste for beautiful women—love at first bite never hurt so good.

In Angela C. Allen’s story, the mafia is no match for the wicked charms of a beautiful young vampire once she's let loose on the New York City streets.

Can a pair of fangs help a sister burn more calories? A full-figured woman goes on a thirst-quenching search for the perfect low-carb diet in Monica Jackson’s story.

In Linda Addison’s story, it's a matter of life and the living dead for a half-vampire whose greatest wish is to save lives...and become human again.

Donna Hill writes about a sensuous vampire thirsts for something more...but can she find it without getting a dagger in her own heart?

Kevin S. Brockenbrough’s tale features a vengeful vampire pushes one woman to the edge, though she’s unaware that her family secret gives her the power to fight back.
