Overview: Embraces: Dark Erotica is a literate and provocative approach to the type of fiction that came to be called erotic horror in the last decade or so. Mainstream publishers tried to capitalize on it with best-selling anthologies like I Shudder At Your Touch, Dark Love, Love In Vein, and the Hot Blood series. Even established erotica publishers like Masquerade came out with hot versions of horror classics in their Darker Passions series. Embraces: Dark Erotica, however, is something different: twenty stories of modern, highly sexual dark fiction from writers who, in most cases, are not considered "erotica writers" — fresh blood, so to speak.Contents ix • Introduction (Embraces: Dark Erotica) • (2000) • essay by Paula Guran1 • You Give Me Fever • (2000) • shortstory by Nancy Holder11 • Saturnalia • (1999) • shortstory by David J.
