Even Bryn's fluffs are memorable. I think of this as a vampire companion piece to the werewolf in _The Howling_ (_Southern Comfort 6.5). Excellent humour and dialogue. One of my two favourite stories in this 'zine.

This one is squirrelled away at the back of the zine, behind letters of comments, adverts etc. Fortunately I found it - as it's quite good. Avon's a vampire, like all the old families, and can't resist Blake once Blake is also (I think) bitten by a vampire bat (though primarily he doesn't partake). It has this line, which I particularly like: "After all, if rare, exquisite food and handsome, husky men are two of your favourite hobbies - why not take the logical step and combine the two?" Erin says, I should remark on how vampirism is here used as an awkward metaphor for homosexuality (though she generally liked the fic significantly more than I did), although I feel that this is more what vampirism is in general used for, and that it's only lightly hinted at here. That said, I'm a very bad reader for Bryn Lantry in general because I'd have to spend a lot more time reading the prose than I am willing to and this means I miss a lot.
