Description: Gothic literature has always possessed a dark attraction ripe with the promise of the forbidden and the sensual.  The editors of this book have brought together out-of-this-world romance and fantasy writers who let passion drive the heartbeat of their paranormal tales--from a woodland populated with howling coyotes, to a mysterious underworld filled with stem and fire, and a castle made from rose-colored glass.  Venturing even further into the world of supernatural romance, editor Mitzi Szereto conjures an atmosphere filled with the distinct Gothic flavors of thrilling danger and exquisite eroticism.
