Happy Friday Night Worms! Do you know what doesn’t get enough love in the horror community? Some good old fashioned Horror smut. We spend so much time talking about slashers and splatter punks and psychological that the steamy side of Horror gets overlooked pretty consistently. One of my favorites in the hotter side of Horror is Love in Vein edited by Billy Martin, professionally known as Poppy Z. Brite. (He also wrote Exquisite Corpse, which we all know is one of my favorites.) Love in Vein is an anthology of vampiric erotica that still remembers its Horror roots. What’s funny is, when I was preparing to write this, I went on Goodreads and read some of the reviews to see what people had to say about this book. It was surprising to me to see so many negative reviews saying that they didn’t realize that this book was still Horror. Don’t let the scary and unsettling stuff surprise you. Yes, the book gets steamy, but it is still Horror. It’s absolutely worth a read and it could help you expand your Horror TBR to include LGBTQ+ authors and editors. With 20 stories, you could easily read one story every night for the next few weeks! Have a great weekend, Night Worms and I hope you’re staying safe out there! ~Kallie @pageandparlor
