Enchanted Tales of the Forbidden and the SensualThe lure of darkness is palpable. Swathed in sexual desire and soul-searing need, it tugs at our attention and compels us to follow. In Darker Edge of Desire: Gothic Tales of Romance, Mitzi Szereto pursues this call, plunging us into the risqué world of the gothic, where horror and delight intertwine. Opening with the words of Kate Douglas (author of the Wolf Tales series), Szereto creates an environment where even the most forbidden desires step forth from the shadows. This electrifying, blood-curdling collection, which deepens and expands on the dark eroticism of her critically acclaimed Red Velvet and Absinthe, will elicit dread and sexual thrills from enthusiasts of the dark, erotic and forbidden. Closing with an afterword from Rachel Caine (author of the Morganville Vampire series), this selection of erotic tales begs one question: Will you surrender to the dark?

Advance reviews:

"When your midnight cravings come calling, Darker Edge of Desire is the book you want on your nightstand. Wedged between these covers are fourteen tales of seduction and submission, from lust most carnal to virginal awakenings—even (despite the title) moments of achingly tender sweetness. Darker Edge of Desire is a chocolate box assortment of stories that depict passion in all its varieties, most—but not all—of them with a supernatural twist, no two of them the same. Bon appetit."—Alma Katsu, author of The Taker Trilogy

"Diverse, edgy, and infused with fantasy and horror, this chilling anthology of incendiary short stories is certainly not your typical Halloween romance anthology, but it will appeal to fans of the dark, erotic, and forbidden who don't expect traditional love stories or "happily ever afters.""—Library Journal"In this collection's great dark tales of sex and murder, fear and love, pain and pleasure, we see not only ourselves, but we also shine a candle on our collective past, and that is a powerful and exciting journey."—Rachel Caine, author of Glass Houses"Desire can be so intricately, beautifully twisted, so perfect in its dark and dangerous attraction that no other choice exists but to follow that compelling lure without regard to safety or personal danger, often down paths better not traveled. Yet following that twisted, dark and dangerous way is rife with promise even when tainted with despair. Is the lure truly the darkness, or is it hope? Hope for something more, for something sublime. There's only one way to find out—all you need do is put fear aside and step into the dark, cross into the Darker Edge of Desire."—Kate Douglas, author of Wolf Tales
