Summary: Lesbian vampire stories with a haunting eroticism.
Review: Dark Angels collects tales of lesbian vampires, the quintessential bad girls, archetypes of passion and terror. Like the bestselling Daughters of Darkness, Dark Angels will get under your skin, piercing with tales of desire so sharply erotic you'll swear you've been bitten! With Amelia G., Gary Bowen, Melanie Tem, Cora Linn Daniels, Carol Leonard, Lawrence Schimel, Cecilia Tan, Thomas S. Roche, Renee Charles, Alejandra Pizarnik, and Shawn Dell. "The lesbian may be the skeleton-in-the-closet of vampire lore." --Booklis

Summary: Fantastic lesbian vampire fiction!
Review: Each of the tales takes a different slant. My favourite is Medea, very difficult to read on an airliner. The prose is excellent the sex stalks you as does the tiger the deer. The pounce is just as fast.Highly recommended for the "higher mind"

Summary: Interesting collection of erotic vampire stories
Review: I'm always on the quest for a good vampire novel. I have read my fair share of good vampire books and atrocious vampire books. My favorite are Anne Rice's vampire chronicle series. I first stumbled upon Pam Keesey with her first collection "Daughters of Darkness". I was curious when I saw a picture of Kim Deal reading this book in a local magazine several years ago. When I came across the book, I thought I would check it out. Being a big vampire fan, I am extremely open-minded about this particular subject matter. In this case, I thought the idea of lesbian vampires was intriguing. I enjoyed "Daughters of Darkness" a lot. A few years later in 1999 when I was still living in another state, I had the opportunity to meet Pam at a book signing for her latest book (at the time) "Dark Angels". This time the stories in "Dark Angels" focused more on vampires while "Daughters of Darkness" focused more on lesbianism. I found myself enjoying "Dark Angels" slightly more. The stores aren't as lengthy as say "Carmilla" by J. Sheridan LeFanu or "Louisana: 1850" by Jewelle Gomez. I didn't care if the vampires in a lot of these stories weren't your atypical vampire ala Dracula. It gets pretty old reading vampires who just sucks blood and terrorize people. Throughout both books, there is a huge female empowerment theme that runs throughout the stories. For those who have a disdain for feminism or wants vampires to be one dimensional and cartoony Pam Keesy's books aren't for you. For vampire fans who considers themselves feminists, Pam Keesy's books are certainly worth looking into.

Summary: Fantastic lesbian vampire fiction!
Review: This book was awesome. The stories were diverse and exciting, all containing the common thread of lesbian vampires. Many were erotic (though that was not the point of the book), and all had good action in them. If you haven't read this book, and its companion Daughters of Darkness, you're missing out on the best lesbian vampire fiction around.

Summary: Not scary. Not erotic. Disappointing.
Review: This book was the sequel to Pam Keesey's other lesbian vampire anthology, "Daughters of Darkness", which was actually a better collection. Both books, however, suffer from too much lesbian politics and not enough raw eroticism. Maybe that's because Pam solicits her stories from the serious "women's issues" oriented writers who are fine in their way but can't write erotica worth a damn! VAMPIRES DON'T LOOK FOR CONSENTING PARTNERS TO SHARE THEIR FEELINGS WITH! They're rapacious and evil and prey on the young & beautiful. These stories could easily be creative & imaginative and incredibly hot... but they're NOT, at least not the majority of them. But if you're looking for an ideological study of feminist lesbian thought, then I heartily recommend you purchase this book!
