Be warned. If you found Love in Vein too disturbingly dark, too exquisitely explicit, too deliciously erotic in the secrets it revealed -- you're going to adore Love in Vein II. Poppy Z. Brite has done it again with a provocative new collection even more dangerously seductive, more boldly erotic than her first. It is not for everyone. But it may be what you need.
Ah, compilations. This started off with brilliance. Neil Gaimon's contribution. Incredible. So while I would give that one 4 stars, the rest of the book left me largely unimpressed. ( )
Several of the stories in this anthology was just okay for me, but there were a few that I found outstanding. My favorite, of course, is Neil Gaiman's "Snow, Glass, Apples," which is one of my favorites of his short stories, a brilliant retelling of Snow White. I also liked "Bela's Plot" by Caitlín R. Kiernan, "The Dripping of Sundried Wineskins" by Brian Hodge, "The I of the Eye of the Worm" by Janet Berliner and George Guthridge, and "Dusting the Flowers" by David J. Schow. ( )
