“Water”
Water. That’s what does it for me. Ocean waves, relentlessly rocking. A pounding, pulsing waterfall. Bodies tangled together in a bubbling Jacuzzi cauldron. A steam room, dripping like a tropical jungle. Snow pressed against goose-pimpled skin, hardening my nipples to painful, begging peaks….

“Devouring Heart” by Andrea Dale

“Singling out individual stories in this collection is hard because each of them is effective in its own way. However, one especially memorable story for me is the one lesbian story in this collection: ‘Devouring Heart’ by Andrea Dale. In this heartbreaking tale, the good intentions of both vampire and mortal can’t make up for the communication gap between them. This relationship makes a valid-enough metaphor for real-life relationships in an incestuous lesbian community, and the story seems true to its literary roots.” Jean Roberta, EroticaRevealed.com
“‘Devouring Heart’ is the only lesbian tale in the book and Andrea Dale presents a heartbreaking tale of love and how far a lover will go to keep a partner. There is a good use of metaphor between the title and the relationship and this is one of the few tales that ends sadly, yet I have a tender place for this as one of my favorites for evoking that aching sense of love and love lost.” Colleen Anderson
