Suspense/horror with a slight gay bent. We have a couple of stories with a gay vampire. One with a man who goes out with his friend to a Halloween party only to find that everything is not as it appears. Another with an apartment that is haunted/possessed by a former tenant. A man who is killed by the locals of his hometown only to come back as a zombie to seek revenge. A young boy who lives in a fantasy realm that overlaps his real life. And a man who just wants his own little patch of suburbia only to have that small patch take over the rest of the world. ( )

Jeffrey N. McMahan weaves frightfully realistic stories that contain just the right mix of horror, humor, and eroticism: tales of gruesome Halloween party; a Vampire whose conscience bothers him, and a suburbanite with a killer lawn.
