Pangs

"Cinematic and seductive from start to finish! A wholly unique addition to vampire mythology--one dripping with darkness and gay majick."-Tom Cardamone, author of the Lambda-award winning speculative novella Green Thumb and Night Sweats: Tales of Homosexual Wonder and WoeUnlike their blood brethren, Warner and Seth are vampires who subsist on talent. They have been enemies for centuries, competing to feed on artists with the most prodigious musical gifts, and country blues singer Wade Dixon is no exception. But the pursuit and capture of Dixon unleashes unexpected forces that carry these combatants from the earthly realm to a dangerous land of eternal night where they must work together or die alone."There's magic in the pages of Jerry L. Wheeler's Pangs, and it's not just the paranormal goings on that taunt, tease, and push his characters deeper into adventure. The prose enchants, exposing the reader to bleak wonders and radiant dread, while sparks of humor crackle through the narrative. With a charming and fresh voice, Pangs lures the reader from the intoxicating streets of New Orleans across a shimmering threshold into another, fantastical realm. The story offers the erotic and the horrific, the vicious and the sublime. It is entertaining in every way." - Lee Thomas, Lambda Literary Award and Bram Stoker Award winning author
