Vampires have become the ultimate erotic figure in paranormal literature, but in “Blood Embrace”, we’re looking for more than pretty immortals who suck the blood from their victims or companions. What we really want in this anthology is to showcase M/M short stories that have unique takes on vampires. Take them beyond the traditional settings and extravagance and show us some solid and unique world building to support their existence. You know what that means: no sparklepires or caped Transylvanians who vant to suk your blud.
Did a genetic mutation over time create a vampiric syndrome that allows some humans to feed ? Are vampires the dominant race after the apocalypse? How about a realistic vampire virus? Or the frequently ignored energy and psychic vampires? We want to see what new and wonderful things can be done with this tried and true erotic theme.
