Erotic horror so good it's criminal!

Hot Blood: Stranger By Night is Gelb and Garrett's 9th book in the Hot Blood series, but it is by no means stale, or stories you've read before. Where most of the other Hot Blood books sample a variety of erotic horror, this volume leans more towards crime mixed with sex and violence, and probably served as a model for the current Flesh and Blood series. This volume sports stories from such noted authors as Brian Lumley (Necros), Mike W. Barr (A Real Woman), Jeff Gelb (Tricks or Treat), and Ramsey Campbell (The Limits of Fantasy). So if you feel like an demonic roller coaster ride into the nights and lows of human depravity, if you want a sexual charge on the way, then get in line to ride the Hot Blood: Crimes of Passion express.

I couldn't wait for this one!

I have read all of the books in this series. However, I was "dying" to read this one, specifically because of Greg Kihn's and Brian Lumley's stories. Kihn mixes horror, erotica and the Summer of Love in the Haight perfectly for his freaky concoction. Brian Lumley did not disappoint either. I can always see what he has written, and he never fails to give me the chills. Of the others: the longer stories will entice you along with a lump in your throat and the shorter ones will surprise you with their twisted endings. A must read for fans of the series (no arm twisting here), and a good one for "beginners". Enjoy.
