Blood, Sweat & Queers

CRACK OPEN THE COFFIN AND UNLEASH THE VAMPIRE. An ancient beast stirs in the shale beneath an oil rig. A dancer languishes in a lakeside cottage. A man swipes right, hunting flesh with a predator‘s patience. A woman reels from government-sanctioned body horrors. All queer. All ravenous. All vampires. Vampires have always been vessels of longing, craving not only blood, but sex, power, and the sanctity of the taboo. And what hunger is more righteously denied, more persistently policed, than queer love? Like the vampire, the queer spirit endures, unkillable and unashamed. With a foreword by vampire scholar Margaret Hall, Blood, Sweat & Queers presents decadent tales of queer love from eight LGBTQ+ authors, all intertwined with the eternal allure of the vampire- stories of desire unbound, of passion unending, and hunger that threatens to consume everything in its path. Crack open the coffin, if you dare.
