This is the second two-novel collection from 120 Days Books, which has unearthed virtually undiscovered gay literature from a time when any writer who didn't want to do "problem novels" about gay life but, rather, a gay Western or a gay horror or science-fiction story, could find no mainstream publisher willing to publish that.

Two vampire novels from the golden age of gay adult fiction offer danger, romance and more than a little super(natural) sex: Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose! In Vampire's Kiss, young, ambitious and ostensibly straight attorney Damon Sanger goes on an epic bar crawl and winds up in the swinging '70s bachelor pad-in-a-house-trailer of Alan Drake, red-lipped, white-haired, demonically seductive drinker of… male essence.
