Fangs for the Mammaries


Book Description

Having inflicted the smug homes of suburbia with witches and werewolves. Esther Friesner now unleashes the undead to tap a vein of blood and humor, and drain the suburbs dry of both. Vampires and the suburbs are a match made in heaven, or maybe Levittown. Remember Dracula? He didn't run into any real problems until he took his act on the road and traveled to the Big City. But in the suburbs, everyone is polite and respectful of their neighbors' right to privacy. And if your neighbors happen to have kids selling gift-wrap, magazine subscriptions, cookies, or other school fundraising ploys, and little Emily or Jason happen to come peddling their wares after sundown . . . Who says you have to stay in the city if you want good take-out meals delivered right to your door? There's no one quite like a vampire for saying, _All of you kids get off of my lawn!Ó and putting some teeth into it. The stories in these pages¾by Sarah A. Hoyt, K.D. Wentworth, Dave Freer and more, including Esther Friesner herself¾will convince the reader that vampires and suburbs go together like wine and cheese, gin and tonic, desperation and housewives, marriage and pre-nups. Enter freely and of your own will... At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).




Strip Mauled


Book Description

Werewolves and the suburbs are a natural go-together. Okay, so theyre not the Obligatory/Iconic Suburban Golden Retriever or Chocolate Labrador, but theyve got a much better chance of taking home the Best in Show ribbon than their Undead rivals, the vampires. In some suburban households, if it brings home a trophy, who cares if it also brings home bloody chunks of the neighbors every time the full moon shines? And lets not forget one more advantage to the suburban werewolf: If his lupine side does something nasty on your lawn, his human side can come by later with the Pooper Scooper. In your face, Dracula! Therefore, welcome to the fur-sprouting, mall-browsing, moon-howling, latt_-sipping world of Strip Mauled. Youll like what you find. Sit. Stay. Good reader. Stories of suburban lycanthropy by Sarah A. Hoyt, Dave Freer, K. D. Wentworth, and more¾including Esther Friesner herself.

According to legend, he was sentenced to hang—though his crimes still have not been specified. When he was strung up to die, his spirit stuck around waiting for people to hang themselves...so he could steal their bodies.

Battle for the Blood


Book Description

This Greek-mythology-inspired urban fantasy romance series continues as a part-gorgon PI rushes to stop an apocalypse in New York City. Tori Karacis knows it’s going to be a bad day when she wakes to two surprises. One, she’s in bed with a very naked Apollo, having lost her struggle to resist her attraction to him. Two, she still has her wings. Not dinky little fairy wings, but full-scale, cover-’em-with-a-trench-coat bat wings. Apollo suggests consulting the Gray Sisters about the wing problem. Those cannibalistic, psychopathic oracles who—even with only one tooth and one eye among them—manage to see too much. For one thing, they’ve foreseen a Rapture, zombie-apocalypse, biblical-plague, hellgates-busted-open end of the world. While the Sisters are perfectly cool with death and destruction, the thinning of the human herd doesn’t sit well with them at all. They’ll help Tori. All she has to do is save the world. Tori and her team trace the origin of the plagues to New York City, which is under quarantine and martial law (as if that would enough to stop the influx of gods and gorgons, dragons and demons). But as death threatens from the outside, betrayal lurks within Tori’s circle of friends. And nobody is safe. Nobody.
