Review: "Grave Passions" could have been better -- much better. Though the collected short stories of horror and suspense all do have a decidedly LBG cast to them, they all seem to have been wearily written by the contributing authors, some of whom are personal favorites of mine. Writers who can captivate with the imagery of their description, like porn star/writer/publisher Scott O'Hara and author Felice Picano, are really only just going through the motions of trying to scare the reader.For those looking for something scary to read in bed, you'd do better to cross over to the "straight" side and read all of the "Hot Blood" erotic horror anthologies that continue to be published -- and continue to be successful. "Grave Passions" is lacking that spark of magic that "Hot Blood" appears to have -- so much so, it can't even claw its way out of a dull and dreary grave if its (un)life depended on it
