From a Victorian point of view, sexual lust and evil are almost synonymous, and that is nowhere more evident than in the potent mythical figure of the vampire. The vampires in these erotic, spellbinding stories play many roles: some are feared more than the most trusted partners in S - M play, some are adored as even the most fleeting of one-night lovers are fondly remembered, and some are desired because they represent the wildest sexual ecstasy, seemingly out of reach — forever. Still, others are worshipped as dark redeemers whose mercy is as compelling as heaven's in a seemingly godless age. Vampires remind readers of their darkest sexual desires, the sexual experiences they've had (perhaps only in their own minds), and the sex that satiates their deepest primal urges.

For a long time there were two kinds of vampire books. The angst-ridden romantic kind where the sex was either sublimated or took place "off-camera," and the bloody, gory horrific kind, where if there was any sex it was there to shock or horrify the reader. In the mid-1990s I began editing a series of erotic vampire anthologies where I tried to actually get at what we erotic about the vampire. I gave my authors a few rules, one of which was "no murder." Okay, maybe a tad of murder here and there--these aRE vampires after all--but not the murder of a sex partner, and not as the point of the story. "Erotica Vampirica" was the second volume of the erotic vampire series (preceded by Blood Kiss, and followed by Cherished Blood, and A Taste of Midnight). The book sold out fairly quickly and the small press that had done it did not have the dough to put it back in print, so now Blue Moon Books has done it. This is the original book pages replicated between a new (if dull) cover. If you like this book, you will also like "BLood Surrender," which is not a reprint, but is all new stories. And a reprint of "A Taste of Midnight" with several new stories added to it will also be out from Blue Moon Books in 2006.
