Rating:  - Great Read - Timothy Ridge is an author to watch
I really enjoyed this book and was tempted to read some of it again."The Vampire Stone" by Timothy Ridge is by far the best written. It's filled with great details about the locations and characters.

Rating: - Creative, erotic "gay vampire" collection
I'll admit I first added this book to my Amazon "wish list" shortly after its announcement, thinking it was the latest in Herren's mystery tales. Since I am not usually a fan of the "vampire" fiction genre, I usually would not have chosen this book, a 321-page compilation of four erotic short stories about gay vampires. In retrospect, I'm glad I did.
Of the four stories, my least favorite was Timothy Ridge's "The Vampire Stone," simply because it had a rather convoluted plot, bouncing back ... Read More
