Vampires Have Lives Too Box Set

Edward Kendrick

Synopsis

Five stories about vampires who, just like their human counterparts, live life to its fullest. They can be happy lives, sad or lonely ones, or ones full of anger. Vampires can have families, and most importantly, they can and do fall in love. Contains the stories:

Lonely Vampire: Vampire Armand knows what it means to be lonely. Then he catches Tino, a new vampire in town, playing Robin Hood and points out that he's not giving to the poor. So the pair band together to create shelters for the homeless. Has Armand finally found the one man who will make his life complete? Or will a rogue vampire who preys on the homeless destroy any hope of happiness for the lonely vampire?

I Hunt by Night: My name is Lucas. I was human, once. Now, I'm a vampire and I detest humans. I will do all I can to eliminate them. I'll be declared rogue if I'm not careful. I thought I was until Axel appeared. He's a vampire, sexy as hell, and he's been watching me. Luckily he detests humans too. The attraction is there, and our shared desire to destroy humans. Can we, without being caught? Only time will tell.

The Family Martell: Vampires Dorian and Cecily adopt three human children, who agree to be turned when they come of age. They join the family business and Griff falls in lust with Nolan, his parents' human partner. Margie, their daughter, loves Wayne, a human doctor. Brad is bi, so when he meets vampire Ewan, and his Sire, Alexia, it causes problems that will take the entire Martell family to solve if they can.

The Midnight Detective: When Wyn's young daughter and her mother, Marianne, disappear, he hires Christoph, a private detective, to find them even though he knows Christoph is a vampire. They are drawn to each other once Christoph leans that Wyn is unrepentantly bi. Can Christoph find Wyn's daughter? And how will the two men handle the fact they've become lovers when one is human and the other definitely is not?

Burke and the Vampire: What would you do if you discovered you could sense vampires? Burke didn't believe they existed until it happened to him. Horrified, he vows to eliminate them. Vampire Reynaud must find the slayer dubbed The Hunter. It turns out to be easier than anticipated when events transpire to reveal it's his new friend, Burke. Can opposites attract, or will their differences destroy the possibility of love?

Political Animal - The Life and...

Frank Perez, Robert W. Fieseler

During Mardi Gras 1973, Stewart Butler (1930–2020) fell in love with Alfred Doolittle—a wealthy socialite and schizophrenic from San Francisco. Their relationship was an improbable love story that changed the course of LGBTQ+ history. With Doolittle's money, Butler was able to retire and devote his life to political activism in the cause of queer liberation. A survivor of the horrific Up Stairs Lounge arson, Butler was a founding member of the first statewide lesbian and gay rights organization in Louisiana and an early champion for transgender rights, playing a key role in the eight-year struggle to persuade PFLAG to become the first national LGBTQ+ organization to include trans people in its mission statement.

In Political Animal: The Life and Times of Stewart Butler, author Frank Perez traces Butler's amazing life from his early childhood in Depression-era New Orleans, his adolescence at Carville where his father worked, his first unsuccessful attempt at college, his time in the army as a closeted gay man, his adventures in Alaska, his transformation into a hippie in the 1960s, his love affair with Doolittle, his decades as a gay rights advocate, and ultimately, his twilight years as an elder statesman.

Based on Butler's own personal papers, including hundreds of letters, and dozens of interviews, Political Animal paints an intimate portrait of a legendary figure in gay politics and the times in which he lived.

Brown Neon

Raquel Gutierrez

A meditation on southwestern terrains, intergenerational queer dynamics, and surveilled brown artists that crosses physical and conceptual borders. 
 
Part butch memoir, part ekphrastic travel diary, part queer family tree, Raquel Gutiérrez’s debut essay collection, Brown Neon, gleans insight from the sediment of land and relationships. For Gutiérrez, terrain is essential to understanding that no story, no matter how personal, is separate from the space where it unfolds.  
 
Whether contemplating the value of adobe as both vernacular architecture and commodified art object, highlighting the feminist wounding and transphobic apparitions haunting the multigenerational lesbian social fabric, or recalling a failed romance, Gutiérrez traverses complex questions of gender, class, identity,  
and citizenship with curiosity and nuance.
