Synopsis

Like its prequel Daughters of Darkness, Dark Angels reclaims the vampire as a sensual, homoerotic being, whose female essence has been overwritten by Hollywood images of heterosexual seduction.

About this title

Review:

Sexual and seductive, violently jealous, the lesbian vampire enthralls every lesbian she meets -- and anyone else who happens to catch a glimpse of folklore's quintessential bad girl. In fact, the lesbian vampire is so terrifying and seductively wicked, so powerfully ancient and alluring, that even vampire buffs have tried to keep her under wraps -- enter Dark Angels: Lesbian Vampire Stories. This unique anthology includes classics such as "The Vampire" from Sardia: A Love Story (1891) by Cora Linn Daniels; "The Bloody Countess" by Alejandra Pizarnik, and many more. Dark Angels features a bit of gender twist as well, with both male and female authors writing from a lesbian point of view. Keesey's introduction and bibliography also make Dark Angels appropriate for scholars in women's studies, gay and lesbian studies, popular cultural studies, or comparative literature. -- Midwest Book Review
