Girls Who Bite - book by Cleis Press Inc. - review by RosesThorns

This is another gem from Cleis Press. I have yet to hate anything that they have put out, and this is no exception. I am a total sucker for vampires, lesbian erotica, and a good fast read. This book has all three of those!

Girls who Bite is a collection of Lesbian Vampire erotica that is sure to whet your appetite. With 15 stories from a number of different authors (including Vivi Anna, Delilah Devlin and Karis Walsh) there is bound to be something in here for everyone.

Girls who Bite was published this year by Cleis Press (who I have raved about in past reviews) and has received a number of good reviews (not just by myself but by others as well).

Bloody Wicked by Vivi Anna
Al Dente by Delphine Dryden

I really enjoyed Bloody Wicked. Here is a short excerpt from that story.


"A soft, warm breeze tickled the leaves of the grand oak trees as I stepped out of the woods. The sultry night air pressed down. The weather had been unnaturally hot for the end of October, and the dying sun had brought no relief to the day's humidity. Sweat trickled down my back and over the firm swell of my buttocks. My red silk robe clung sinuously to my clammy skin, and my long hair stuck to the back of my neck. The walk from my home to this sacred place was short, but in this heat even that produced enough sweat to slick my skin."
