Darker Edge of Desire

Darker Edge of Desire
Gothic Tales of Romance

Edited by Mitzi Szereto

If the Candle Goes Out... Surrender to the Dark 

Gothic literature has always possessed a dark attraction ripe with the promise of the forbidden and the sensual. In Darker Edge of Desire, Mitzi Szereto has brought together out-of-this-world romance and fantasy writers who let passion drive the heartbeat of their paranormal tales—from a woodland populated with howling coyotes, to a mysterious underworld filled with steam and fire, and a castle made from rose-colored glass. Venturing even further into the world of supernatural romance than she did in the critically acclaimed Red Velvet and Absinthe, Szereto conjures an atmosphere filled with the distinct Gothic flavors of thrilling danger and exquisite eroticism. In these tales, love and longing know no boundaries, while all nature of beings—vampires, werewolves, shape shifters, ghosts and creatures with no name—abound after the sun goes down. Wildly creative and exhilaratingly romantic, the stories in Szereto’s expertly crafted collection will satisfy every midnight craving.
