DARK THIRST

A haunting anthology of vampire fiction — one that brings a colorful new dimension to one of the world's most erotic and enduring myths. Featuring stories from some of today’s most popular African American Writers, including Omar Tyree, Angela C. Allen, Monica Jackson,  Linda Addison, Donna Hill, & Kevin S. Brockenbrough

A dose of pure escapist fun…the stories share themes of beauty, power and the desire for love or approval — themes that Monica Jackson's 'The Ultimate Diet' riffs on wonderfully as the obese Keeshia, rather than beginning another diet, figures out how to turn into a vampire so she can be slender and irresistible, just like her beautiful serial-killing neighbor.
