Here they come, Chicks in Chainmail, and they're going to get you.New Fears - New horror stories by masters of the genre

Parker crisscrosses the continent as a sales rep for DynaFlex Sporting Goods, while his wife Trixie serves as the managing editor of Record of Truth, an unsuccessful genocide studies journal. Their son Owen has just returned from juvenile prison to the vast horrors of high school. Heath, Parker's brother, has vowed to cut down on weed and fried chicken for a regimen of self-improvement. All appears normal. Yet in this summer's swelter and the rise of Y2K anxiety, grim truths will be revealed.

Par Mitzi Szereto. 2014
Love, passion and sex...it's all here in Darker Edge of Desire. Gothic literature has always possessed a dark attraction ripe…
with the promise of the forbidden and the sensual. In Darker Edge of Desire, Mitzi Szereto takes the sexualized Gothic and ratchets it up a few notches into the danger zone, opening the door into the darker side of lust and love that only the courageous dare to venture through. Venturing even further into the world of mystery and romance than she did in the critically acclaimed Red Velvet and Absinthe, Szereto creates an atmosphere with a distinct Gothic flavor where we explore our more forbidden desires. In these tales, love and lust (and kink!) know no boundaries, and all nature of beings--from vampires, werewolves, shape shifters, ghosts, succubae--abound. Tread carefully, danger and desire lie ahead!Tales of the Lovecraft Mythos
