"Three highly erotic futuristic vampire male/male stories!"

This book comprises three short stories, which all have three things in common. They have a vampire as one of the main characters, they deal with male-male relationships and all take place on different worlds in a different time.

Our first story in this anthology is BLACK LEATHER NIGHT. Robhain is a vampire and is treated like a second class citizen on this world. Vampires are not allowed to feed off humans, nor are they allowed to mate with them. Violating either of these crimes is punishable by death, and Robhain is very aware of this. Owning a small store, Robhain employs a wizard and a man he suspects of being half fey. Of course, Robhain has the hots for his wizard employee and the black leather pants the wizard is wearing aren't helping matters any.

Will Robhain make a move on his wizard? Will he risk certain death for the pleasure?

In our second story, INTO THE SHADOWS, we have a money changer as our main character. Donal has been on this planet for a bit working as a 'changer. Some of his fellow 'changers engage in his idea of fun. Unfortunately, Donal is afraid of the shadows, for Donal knows "he" lurks in the shadows and is just waiting for his chance to get Donal.

Exactly who or what is the "he" Donal is afraid of? Will Donal ever be accepted by his fellow 'changers?

Our third and final story, THE HUNTER, takes place on a different planet again. Working as a medic at a clinic, Ronan puts in a lot of hours. Finally tired of his attitude, one of his co-workers tells him to "go get laid". Now Ronan has never really been turned on by women, Ronan decides to take her advice and go out on the prowl.

Will he find what he's looking for? Or will he be doomed to disappointment once again?

BLACK LEATHER NIGHT AND OTHER TALES is a highly original work. Willa Okati has done a wonderful job of describing other worlds and times in this collection of short stories. The characters are all realistic and stay true to themselves. Some of these planets are not places I ever want to go. And even though male-male relationships may not be my "thing", I was squirming on my seat through parts of these stories. If you're in the mood for something different, I highly suggest trying BLACK LEATHER NIGHT AND OTHER TALES!

Summary

On a colony world where joy and pleasure must be bought at a high price, man and vampire live side by uneasy side. To feed from a human means death -- or worse. Merchants and moneychangers, medics and whores, wizards and everyday men walk this delicate balance. But sometimes the line is crossed, and vampires fall in love with mortal men -- or men lose their hearts to the nightwalkers. "Black Leather Night" The vampire Robhain is indecently tempted by the wizard he employs. Is Byrne deliberately teasing him with his skin- tight leather pants, or does he truly want Robhain? "Into the Shadows" Donal fears what hides in the shadows -- both his greatest love, and his worst nightmare. When the vampire he longs for emerges from the dark, will he give in, or deny himself the passion that burns inside? "The Hunter" Ronan's a tough bastard who can take care of himself, but despite it all, he's looking for someone to love. A tip sends him looking for a very special whore. But when he finds him, they both get more than they bargained for.
