      Second Line
    • A sexy new repackaging of the extremely popular anthology of vampire erotica, edited by acclaimed author Poppy Z. Brite. The classic horror tale is about fear. But in the last few years a new literature of the macabre has arisen, one that goes deeper than horror, beyond fear, to explore our darkest, most intimate hungers. The ones even lovers are forbidden to share. Acclaimed dark fantasy author Poppy Z. Brite has brought together this genre's most powerful and seductive authors in an original collection of vampiric erotica, a shameless celebration of unspeakable intimacies. It is not for everyone. But neither is the night.

      Courtney Love excites passions, pro and con, everywhere she appears, and the public hunger for details about her life is unrelenting. Now, Poppy Z. Brite, with inside connections no one else has had, tells the full, uncensored story, exposing a side of this pop-culture icon, leader of the alternative band Hole, that has never been revealed before.Love's own journal entries and letters, interviews with friends, and exclusive photos flesh out the whole truth about the girl born Love Michelle Harrison. Here are the true details surrounding the birth of her daughter and Cobain's death; new facts about Love's formative years and time in reform school; and anecdotes from her career as a stripper in Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Brite interviews Robin, Love's old friend from punk Portland with whom she traveled to new-wave England, who has never talked publicly before. Only Poppy Z. Brite, the acclaimed creator of fresh, exotic, literary punk horror fiction who Publishers Weekly called a singularly talented chronicler of her generation", could have written this book -- a celebrity biography that is as outrageous, brutally honest, and uncompromising as its subject.

      A terrifying novel of love and slaughter set in London and New Orleans. To serial killer Andrew Compton, murder is an art, the most intimate art. After feigning his own death to escape from a life sentence in prison, he makes his way to America with the intention of bringing his art to new heights. Tortured by his own perverse desires, he inadvertently joins forces with Jay, a dissolute playboy. They set their sights on a young Vietnamese-American runaway, who they deem to be the perfect victim. Moving from the grimy streets of London's Piccadilly Circus to the decadences of New Orleans' French Quarter, Poppy Z. Brite dissects the landscape of torture and invites us into the mind of a serial killer in this riveting, unforgettable masterpiece of horror.

      In the French Quarter of New Orleans the Mardi Gras revellers concealed a group of pleasure seekers who preferred to wear black. For Zillah, Molochai and Twig the party had been going on for centuries, fuelled by sexual frenzy, green Chartreuse and a cocktail of vodka and innocent blood. Nothing was born in horror and brought up in suburban Maryland. Even before he ran away to find his true home, he suspected he was different from other teenagers. And when he had his first taste of human blood, he knew he was right. Ghost was the visionary singer of the band Lost Souls?. When Nothing was drawn into Zillah's fatal circle, Ghost had to decide whether he should try to save the boy from himself - or abandon him to his bloody birthright.
