Vampires at Sea

By: Lindsay Merbaum

"Vampires at Sea is creepy, sexy fun; a book that's small but mighty, pages bursting with electricity and raw heat. What a treat! I really loved it." -Kristen Arnett, author of Mostly Dead Things and White Teeth

"'The ocean! Europe! Horny lonely people!' Vampires at Sea is smart, sexy, and wickedly fun. Merbaum delivers a story of insatiable appetites and fierce desires--a velvet-clad romp through queer love and longing." --Elizabeth Gonzalez James, author of The Bullet Swallower

"Imagine the seductive vampires of Only Lovers Left Alive taking a decadent pleasure cruise worthy of The White Lotus, and you'll have some idea of the voluptuous literary delights awaiting you in Vampires at Sea. Merbaum's glamorous creatures may drain people's energy, but this book gave me life."--Layne Fargo, author of The Favorites and They Never Learn

"Lindsay Merbaum's funny horror novella Vampires at Sea follows the challenges a vampire couple's relationship faces on a queer, sex-filled vacation cruise...At various points throughout the novel, Rebekah repeats the mantra 'We're on vacation!' At times an affirmation, at times ironic, sarcastic, and biting, it's a way she convinces herself she's having fun. The pervasiveness of the phrase creates a feeling of being trapped, compounding the growing physical isolation on the ship. Vampires at Sea is a carnal horror novella that parodies queer culture and tackles a failing relationship's impact on a vampire's sense of self." -
