Eternal hunger. Dangerous desire. Haunted roads, winter nights, doomed lovers-and vampires who have had centuries to discover just how complicated immortality can become.
Dreams of Decadence Presents brings together the dark fiction and poetry of Wendy Rathbone and Tippi N. Blevins, two of the magazine's most frequent and popular contributors.
Rathbone's stories move through a seductive Gothic world of lost souls, supernatural bargains, restless ghosts, and vampires caught between hunger and humanity. In tales such as Bitters, The Phantom on the Road, The Boy Without a Soul, The Saint, and the wickedly practical Pre-Transformative Agreement, immortality is by turns romantic, terrifying, lonely, and darkly funny.
Blevins brings the vampire into a sharper contemporary world, where ancient appetites collide with modern relationships, obsession, alienation, technology, and the everyday absurdities of eternal life. Stories including Inside, Sonata, Presumed Icarus, Gone, The Promise, and Subject: Re: The Modern Age are joined by poems ranging from haunting winter visions to sly observations on the rules of being undead.
Sensual, melancholy, macabre, and occasionally wickedly humorous, this collection follows the vampire far beyond the graveyard and into the heart of desire itself.
Step onto the crimson path. Eternity is waiting.
