To be able to fill an anthology with original horror tales by some of the greatest names in terror fiction is a dream come true. Bram Stoker Award-winning editors Jeff Gelb and Del Howison are living that dream... or is it nightmare?

Following the first award-winning book of the series, the editors have gathered the finest horror authors from around the country, including bestselling authors James Sallis, Joe R. Lansdale, Max Brooks, Steve Niles, and Caitlin R. Kiernan.

18 original tales of carefully crafted macabre will keep you up at night. Plus there is an introduction by the late great Ray Harryhausen who, when speaking of editors Gelb and Howison, claims, “Horror is their thing and it is what they do best.”

Get ready to settle in with Dark Delicacies II: Fear. It’s time for the second course!

In an age of increasing specialization, horror anthologies have picked up on the trend. Zombie anthologies, vampire anthologies, and post-apocalyptic anthologies are among the many that have sprung up, creating an entire book filled with only one kind of story. But what are the roots of horror and what really frightens us? Bram Stoker Award-winning editors Del Howison and Jeff Gelb have gone back to the roots of our fears with a collection of horror of all types, new tales by the current masters of horror. Each story is a different disturbing dark narrative so that you never know what is coming for you next. After all, we really don’t know what is hiding in the dark, do we?

Includes stories by Clive Barker, Ray Bradbury, Ramsey Campbell, Nancy Holder, Richard Laymon, Brian Lumley, Joe Lansdale, Whitley Streiber, F. Paul Wilson, Chelsea Quinn Yarboro, and many more!

The secret to a successful relationship is openness. You have to know each other, where you came from, what interests you have in common and if you share the same... tastes. Can you live with each others quirks and tics? Do you love him for who he is or what he knows? Does he love you as one might love a banquet?

Dating a vampire can be a slippery slope, but it can also be an interesting and fulfilling period in your life. There are challenges to overcome for sure, like the possible age difference of hundreds or even thousands of years. But what’s a few years between lovers? So what if he wants to feed from your circle of friends? What difference does it make that he has had more sexual partners during his existence than the number of people you’ll meet in your lifetime?

You’re going to need help, and this book has the answers. Knowledge is power. Give him a taste of you but maintain control. Remember, not even vampires sleep alone.

The history of lycanthrope stretches back to man’s beginnings. From cave drawings and tribal folklore, from the Inquisition to the 20th Century, man’s fascination with werewolves has never wavered. New information is uncovered daily and the field of study has been ripped wide open with new information.

Now there is finally a book that covers all the diverse elements of these cursed but greatly misunderstood creatures. From the bloodstained history from Europe and into the New World, especially the United States, these creatures have been documented like no other.

But there is also a need for practical information as well. “When Werewolves Attack” supplies just that type of insight. How do you detect a werewolf when they are in human form? What if a family member is a werewolf? How do you defend yourself from an attack, in terms of weaponry and fortification whether you are inside or out in the woods? How do you escape from an attack of savage lycanthropes?

Don’t be caught flat-footed again. This is the field guide everybody needs to protect themselves and their family.

With some of the biggest authors and best stories, Crimes of Passion is erotic horror at its sinful, wonderful best.
