description: 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.
