This is a book of men and monsters who find themselves captivated by one another in the night. With the taste of skin and sweat and, yes, blood, on their lips, kisses that are pained and painful, and bodies left to cool on the sheets like spent seed. Stories that feature vampires and their victims indulging in libidos and mortidos. A new student at a boarding school discovers that the local urban legend is hovering outside his window and eager to come inside. A man welcomes into his home his undead lover, but on this, their anniversary, will the vampire remember their shared past? A pair of hunters find their feelings for one another more problematic than stalking the undead. These and other stories await you.

Exploring the theme of appetite and desire, this collection features thirteen short stories that delve into the strange physicality and cravings of men. From a young athlete at a wrestling camp grappling with inner demons to a fix-it man impersonating a pulp hero, the narratives blend elements of horror and humor. A cursed flask in a New Orleans fraternity amplifies desires in unexpected ways. Drawing inspiration from literary giants like Poe and Lovecraft, these tales navigate the weird, the humorous, and the monstrous without needing a conclusion.

Set against the backdrop of a haunted New Jersey highway, a teenager's chance encounter with a ghostly boy in vintage attire sparks a captivating adventure. As he returns with his best friend, they delve into the eerie world of Ouija boards and graveyard explorations, blending scares with dark humor. This thirteenth-anniversary edition includes an introduction by best-selling author Holly Black, adding depth to this unique tale of love and the supernatural.
