Shade

by Ron Dee

Phillip Ottoman and Connie Sawyer both sell books and jewelry at the frequent sci-fi/fantasy conventions, and the books and baubles by and of Scarlett Shade are the biggest sellers! Scarlett has millions of fans eager to buy her stories of erotic horror and romantic fantasy and will do anything to look like her and her vampire characters... and Scarlett has a wonderfully rare insight into the unholy world of the undead.

All the while, Phil must battle the horror of his young past when his family was slaughtered in the real life horror of the Czeckoslavokian revolt against the Soviet USSR... must cling to life against a past of death as he falls in love with Connie and tries to keep her from the deaths of Scarlett's suicidal fans and the mesmerizing seduction of the writer, Scarlett Shade herself, who seems to have more to do with her fan's suicides each appearance she makes...

As the world of writers, fandom and commercialism become part of the supernatural lair of vampirism and blood, Phillip and Connie struggle to remain free, to struggle against and stop the damnation that hovers nearer and nearer like a rabid, bloodthirsty vampire bat...
