Since 1989, the Hot Blood anthology series has been giving the masters of literary horror a place in which they can uninhibitedly tell tales in which sex and fear chillingly intertwine.

There are now 12 books in the Hot Blood series, and the creatures who seduce and shock include changelings, vampyres, dreamers, zombies, hillbillies, schoolteachers, P,I.s and every conceivable villian and victim.

Some of the tales in Hot Blood focus on eroticism, many revel in death and dismemberment, others are laugh-out-loud funny and some are creepy in ways to raise goosebumps.

The many brilliant authors who have contributed to the series include Robert Bloch, Joyce Carol Oates, Greg Kihn, Krista Faust, Brian Lumley and Ramsey Campbell.
