Is it homophobia if the lesbians that scare you really are murderers, cannibals, demons, and monsters? Welcome to an anthology of horror in which all the terrors share a similar trait: they come in the form of gay women. Or females at any rate. They are also other more dreadful things. Psychopaths whose frightful cravings for human flesh go beyond the sexual and perverse into other more dreadful hungers that consume them as well as their victims. Classic monsters like vampires, werewolves, and some more esoteric creatures plucked from myths and legends around the world whose very natures demand blood and untold suffering from human hearts. Nightmares from the depths of the mind made real, some seeking to share desires denied them by their inhuman nature and most delivering doomed love and lust that leads to tragedy, damnation, and betrayal of the innocent and trusting. Demons freed to walk the earth tempting mortals to claim their souls and mutilated defiled bodies. Fiends that hide inside the faces of smiling friends using them as cover to seduce and kill, devour and corrupt the people around them going so far as to steal children from their beds in the dead of night. Ordinary people trapped in situations that are clearly terrifying, the stuff of Hell itself, but at the same time can be strangely attractive, often with easy exits that the victims nevertheless seem reluctant to take even in death. Beware the Queer Creatures you find in these pages. They may want you as a lover or a meal or have no use for you at all, but every time they leave seemingly endless bloody trails of pain and death and fear behind them. There are no heroes or heroines here. No happy endings and great victories for the good guys. Only monsters and victims and the rare survivor who will spend the rest of their lives jumping at every unexpected sound and staring into the shadows for something hiding and waiting to pounce. Until inevitably the thing they escaped finds them again. These are not the women your mother warned you about. They are the ones she never told you about for fear that you might never sleep again. Or worse they might plant the seeds of temptation in your own dark heart.
