DESCRIPTION:
Although the greats such as Bram Stoker, Edgar Allan Poe, and Daphne du Maurier are long dead, these contemporary authors keep the Gothic spirit alive and well by interpreting it in new and exciting ways. Red Velvet and Absinthe explores love and lust with otherworldly partners who, by their sheer fantastical nature, evoke passion and desire far beyond that which any normal human being can inspire. Lie back and listen to the wind howling outside your window as you read these stories in the flickering light of a candle, the absinthe you’re sipping warming your body like the caressing touch of a lover’s fingers .. Red Velvet and Absinthe offers readers a collection of unique and original stories that conjure up the atmospheric and romantic spirit of the Gothic masters (and mistresses) but take things a bit further by adding to the brew a generous dosage of eroticism

Mitzi did a wonderful job of compiling well-written and engaging stories, that as a whole, create the perfect paranormal-package. I love dark and I love erotica, so the combination was a welcome and refreshing read. The erotica was not over-the-top, and I think that this would be a selection that lovers of dark/paranormal romance could easily sink
This was an awesome collection of paranormal erotica, probably the best collection I have ever read."—Rambles"The darkness and desires enveloping the characters within these stories makes for an altogether fascinating read. Vampires, ghosts, werewolves, things that go bump in the night, creatures that would be right at home in a story by Stoker or Poe, coagulate on these pages, raw and exposed as readers haven’t seen them before, draped in danger and romance, lit by flickering candles and red tapestries that conjur
