Red Velvet and Absinthe

More about the book

<p><i>Red Velvet and Absinthe</i> explores love and lust with otherworldly partners who, by their sheer fantastical nature, evoke passion and desire far beyond that which any normal human being can inspire. Although the greats such as Bram Stoker, Edgar Allan Poe, and Daphne du Maurier are long dead, these contemporary authors keep the Gothic spirit alive and well by interpreting it in new and exciting ways. <i>Red Velvet and Absinthe</i> offers readers a collection of unique and original stories that conjure up the atmospheric and romantic spirit of the Gothic masters (and mistresses) but take things a bit further by adding to the brew a generous dosage of eroticism. Lie back and listen to the wind howling outside your window as you read these stories in the flickering light of a candle, the absinthe you’re sipping warming your body like the caressing touch of a lover’s fingers . . .</p><p> Includes: Snowlight Moonlight by Rose de Fer Cover Him with Darkness by Janine Ashbless A Rose in the Willow Garden by Elizabeth Daniels The Blood Moon by Mitzi Szereto Painted by Anna Meadows Dolly by Charlotte Stein La Belle Mort by Zander Vyne The Persistence of Memory by Even Mora Scratched by Ashley Lister Bitter and Intoxicating by Sharon Bidwell Tea for Two by Claire Buckingham Milady's Bath by Giselle Renarde The Way Home by Cary Williams The Queen by Tahira Iqbal Benediction by Bonnie Dee</p>
