Poppy Z. Brite

    25 mai 1967

    Cet auteur s'est fait connaître par ses récits d'horreur glaçants et ses histoires sombres et immersives. Son œuvre explore souvent les limites de la psyché humaine et les recoins obscurs de l'identité, se plongeant dans des thèmes de désir, de douleur et du surnaturel. Avec une précision sans faille, il capture une atmosphère brute et tangible qui entraîne les lecteurs au plus profond de ses mondes troublants. Son style distinctif, rempli d'images provocatrices et d'un réalisme dérangeant, laisse une impression durable.

Brite, Tananarive Due, Michael Koryta und viele mehr, die mit ihren einzigartigen Perspektiven zur Vielfalt und Tiefe dieser Sammlung beitragen.

    • A sexy new repackaging of the extremely popular anthology of vampire erotica, edited by acclaimed author Poppy Z. Brite. The classic horror tale is about fear. But in the last few years a new literature of the macabre has arisen, one that goes deeper than horror, beyond fear, to explore our darkest, most intimate hungers. The ones even lovers are forbidden to share. Acclaimed dark fantasy author Poppy Z. Brite has brought together this genre's most powerful and seductive authors in an original collection of vampiric erotica, a shameless celebration of unspeakable intimacies. It is not for everyone. But neither is the night.
