{"product_id":"9780991082346","title":"Amaranthine Rain: (a Short-Story Collection)","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom the editor:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZander Vyne often writes about people who tempt the edges of sexuality. Seemingly mild plots can sink into deep horror or build with slow intensity. From commuter trains to vampire lairs, dragon caves to hotel bars, Victorian bookstores to fortune teller's tents; each setting is as distinct and richly imagined as these twenty stories. Presented as a collection for the first time are many of Zander's early stories, several previously-published works, award winners, and new short stories written for this very special collection of erotic short fiction.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn the Name of the Father\u003c\/i\u003e A young priest, an abused Mafia wife, and bittersweet love, equal a powder keg of emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTricked\u003c\/i\u003e A detective and a hooker are inconveniently hot for each other in this noir-fiction prize winner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow Jackson Crumb Remembered how to Live\u003c\/i\u003e Inspired by old romance movies.
