SET FOR RELEASE OCTOBER 7, 2025
Blood, Sweat & Queers is an anthology dedicated to queer vampiric love stories, co-edited by Margaret and Contrarian Publishing’s Jamie Ryu.
Vampires in literature have always been an allegory for socially divergent identity. The ache at the core of every vampire, which can only be momentarily sated by the total consumption of another’s essence, spits directly in the face of conservative conceptions of love and lust. There is nothing well-behaved or polite about a vampire’s appetites, and throughout history, vampire fiction has been used as an outlet for the underserved and the repressed to access the gnawing need within them to connect.
