Night Shade: Gothic Tales by Women

From the editors of 'Night Bites' Victoria A. Brownworth and Judith M. Redding

From Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' to Anne Rice's 'The Vampire Lestat', tales of transformation have proved of lasting fascination. Continuing in this tradition, Night Shade is a chilling collection of gothic fiction depicting a world where the abnormal is the norm, and shapeshifting is an everyday phenomenon.

Featuring stories by seventeen talented writers, this book offers extraordinary twists on common themes in women's lives: A young woman with AIDS, living on the streets of New Orleans, fights the pull of the spirit world as she struggles to survive the Day of the Dead; a bored, dissatisfied housewife watches with horror, then glee, as her hands morph into bizarre forms that do her bidding; a middle-aged woman at a crossroads in her life finds a heady new freedom in her encounter with the mythological Selkie, a creature half seal, half woman. Contributors include Barbara Wilson, Terri de la Peña, Ruthann Robson, Jean Stewart, Susanna Sturgis and many others.

At once erotic and entrancing, the stories in Night Shade are tied together by a taut thread of suspense that will keep every reader's mind engaged and senses on edge.
