Summary

In the time of COVID-19, life has changed. Going slowly insane under strict lockdown conditions, Clay is thrilled to meet Vincent. It doesn't matter the man has somehow gained access to his home and woken him in the middle of the night; Vincent is mysterious. Not to mention a lover like no other Clay has ever had, or suspects he ever will again.
In the days after Vincent leaves, Clay is desperate to make contact with the vampire again. For reasons that remain elusive, Clay thinks he may have fallen in love with Vincent at first sight. The vampire is all he can think about, but dare he enter the vampire's abode? Only able to leave his home under cover of darkness, there are too many risks involved in entering the abandoned building down by the railway line. 
He has a choice to make. Does he push himself to do what his common-sense tells him not to? Or should he wait at home, hoping for another visit? The tension he feels may just drive him insane.

I'm just an ordinary guy . . . who feeds on sexual energy. 
 
 
 
I never knew my dad. Mom said he was a nice enough guy, fun for a night, but she never did get his name. I didn't miss him, and my life is good. 
 
 
 
Then a government agent shows up at my door and announces that I'm not really human. Dear old Dad was actually an incubus, a being that needs sexual energy to survive, and apparently that means I am too. Gotta be a scam, right? 
 
 
 
Or so I think . . . until Agent Cutie changes into a canine (not a werewolf) in my living room and then eats half a dozen Christmas cookies while making orgasm sounds. Turns out, other species do exist. 
 
 
 
On the plus side, being a stripper means that all my incubus needs are being met without me even trying. And now that I know the situation in my pants is normal for an incubus, I don't feel self-conscious . . . so a fling with Agent Mark is definitely on the table. 
 
 
 
Between being sexy Santa at work, supplying a team of hellhounds with Christmas cookies, and learning what stamina in the bedroom really is, I'm discovering that my old life was kind of empty. Maybe I'm not such an ordinary guy after all.

From Allyson McOuat, author of the popular 2020 New York Times Modern Love essay "The Ghost Was the Least of Our Problems," comes her debut essay collection 
 
 
 
In a series of intimate and humorous dispatches, McOuat examines her identity as a queer woman, and as a mother, through the lens of the pop culture moments in the '80s and '90s that molded her identity. McOuat stirs the ingredients required to conjure an unsettled spirit: the horrors of pregnancy and motherhood, love and loss, the supernatural, kaleidoscopic sexuality, near-miss experiences, and the unexplained moments in life that leave you haunted. 
 
 
 
Through her own life experiences, various tall tales, urban legends, analysis of horror and thriller films, and spine-chilling true crime incidents, McOuat uncovers how cultural gatekeeping has forced her, as a mother and queer femme woman, to persistently question her own reality. Through this charming and humorous exploration of what moments have made her who she is, McOuat demonstrates for listeners a way through by forgiving herself and exorcising her stubborn attachment to a phantom, heteronormative, nuclear family structure.

A straight-laced realtor from the big city runs face-first into a graffiti artist werewolf and sparks fly. Then their ambitions and secrets threaten to tear them apart. 
Kent 
I'm the new boy in this tiny town, but only until I find my clients the lake house they're searching for. Not that I can understand why anyone would want to live here. It seems like a place where nothing ever happens. So imagine my surprise when I stumble across a masked man spray painting a public building under the light of the full moon. Even in a mask, I'm struck by his beauty. Then, without warning, he approaches and does the last thing I ever expected. He kisses me. The moment our lips part, he's gone, vanished into the night and I'm left with a feeling of excitement unlike any I've ever experienced before. 
But how do I find him again? 
Eoin 
The moment I kissed him I knew he was my mate. Even though I don't know his name, I know we were fated to be together, but I ran away before I could act on it. Then, by some strange twist of fate, he walks into my office the next day to hire me. He has no idea that I'm the masked graffiti artist or, more importantly, that I'm a werewolf. But now that he's my client, I have to pretend to be just some boring realtor. 
However, when I find him waiting near the half-finished mural again, I can't keep my hands off of him. For now, though, the mask stays on. He's too straight-laced to turn a blind eye to my after-dark activities. 
How long can I keep up this charade?
