    About this ebook

    Sheena is a vampire from Leeds who works in a call center, and has a dark secret that even she doesn't know about. Her boyfriend has to discover it the hard way, alas. Like the other two vampire stories included in the book, both of which feature vampire babies, "Sheena" is a love story, which shares the life-enhancing attributes common to all love stories. Here are ten tales of the fantastic, the horrific, and the gothic, including: "Rose, Crowned with Thorns," "Rent," "Tenebrio," "Behind the Wheel," "Innocent Blood," "Emptiness," "The Woman in the Mirror," "Regression," "Heartbreaker," and "Sheena." Great reading by a great writer!

      The Grueling, Painful, Beautiful Fiction of László Krasznahorkai

      Aug 8, 2017

      To misread Krasznahorkai as merely, or primarily, a political writer is to risk squandering the profoundly personal nature of his stories. More tragically, it is to foist a kind of sloppy activist, and determinately secular métier onto one of contemp

      The Stuff Of Legend

      Feb 4, 2021

      Fantasy fiction, as a genre, has largely focused on the grand, the sweeping, the truly epic in scale. And in that way it’s not hard to argue that the field has taken much inspiration from the myths and tales of old – and rightly so. Using these class

      We talk plenty about genre in these pages, and there are of course many accepted genre terms we use a lot – horror, scifi and fantasy are pretty well defined on the whole. After that we come to our subgenres, our steampunk, cyberpunks, body horror, f
