Book Review: Michael Rowe and Thomas Roche, editors, Sons of Darkness
60) Sons of Darkness, edited by Michael Rowe and Thomas S. Roche, 174 pages
A Cleis Books anthology of twelve homoerotic vampire stories. Not terrible, but not mind-shatteringly cool, either. The best story in the group is a reprint of Poppy Brite's "His Mouth Will Taste of Wormwood," which is a tight little kicker of a story, and one I didn't mind rereading for the second time in about a year.
The rest were competent, with offerings from such writers as C. Dean Andersson, Pat Califia, M. Christian, and Carol Queen, all of whom offer stories that are a cut above.
Recommended for fans of the genre.
