Gimme Danger Based upon the perennial classic by Iggy and the Stooges, as well as a salute to a wild rock 'n roll icon that has since left us for worlds unknown. It's a story about a hot night, a fast car, a fallen hero, and a woman far beyond the mortal pale ... regrets can die with a man, but the stars are forever.

The
Dance So, just what happens when Raven's travels take her into Los Angeles and she catches the scent of a certain big, dark, imposing vampire that is short on words but long on might? If you answered with anything but "TROUBLE," you haven't been paying attention! Batten down the hatches and watch the fireworks from a safe distance, because this ain't gonna be no stately waltz, boys and girls.

My Koo Ka Choo
This ain't your standard romance tale, as well it shouldn't be where Stacey and Brandi's eventful first meeting is involved. Instead of empty sentiments, mushiness, and a lot of boring crap, you'll be treated to: swearing, fighting, vandalism, sneaking, a couple of instances of vomiting, drooling, swooning, and threats of extreme bodily harm. Now, wouldn't you much rather read that than some cutesy 'lil cookie-cutter romantic adventure? I know I would.
|
|
Why? Not all of the denizens of Los Angeles are supernatural or immortal, and Kimmie, Mary, and Lupi are about to get a sobering look at how the other half lives ... hopefully nobody gets killed before all is said and done.
|
|
Wave Of The Future A charming little tale that recounts Stacey's first encounter with a little 'ol thing known as the internet, and how he uses it in a way that its original designers never intended, or probably even imagined.
|
|
A Lesson Following a late-night showing of the cult-classic slasher epic, White Trash Massacre VI: Nathan Lives!, Lupi furthers her education in American culture with an impromptu lesson courtesy of none other than Stacey and Bushwhack Bill ... oy.

Faces Of Murder Murder comes in many different forms, just like people, and whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is totally up for debate. However, there are some souls and beings that have very definite ideas on the nature of murder and its place in the world, and they're not exactly the type you'd want to get into an argument with ...

Onwards A look back into the early days of a certain half-vampire gypsy, many long years before Hollywood had even been thought of. As one life ends, another one begins, and the first steps of a grand adventure are taken ...

No Fun You ever have one of those days where nothing seems to go right? It happens to the best of us, even Dorian ... and his choice of friends doesn't really help things, either.

I Walked With A Zombie On Halloween, one usually finds candy, mischief, and the occasional fire, but on one Halloween, Stacey finds something that a George Romero enthusiast would kill for . . . a real, dead zombie. Now, knowing Stacey like we do, do you think that he's simply going to neatly dispose of it and eliminate the threat it could pose? Yeah, right.

Shades of Grey If it's one thing that Screamin' Willie hates, it's getting screwed with by vampire hunters when he's minding his own business . . .

Explicit
Content Sometimes you have to stand up and fight for what you believe in, even if it's defending the virtues of a screwball Japanese monster movie against censorship and the Thought Police. Disclaimer: This story is extremely childish and full of filthy language and physical abuse, and cheap, offensive shots are taken at numerous sacred cows, so before reading, ask yourself if you really, really want to expose yourself to this kind of crap.
|
|
Love & Violence When a gentle young woman's life is shattered by senseless violence, she gets a chance to make things right and punish those who wronged her . . . but she can't do it without the help of the greatest killer the world has ever known.
|
|
Remnants The worst thing about unfinished business is that it has a way of cropping up and creating new problems, as Brandi is about to find out . . . the hard way. Warning: Contains Unholy War spoilers, so if you haven't read the book yet, you might ruin one of its surprises by reading this tale!

Who Made Who? Another legend revolving around the one and only Raven! With her centuries of notoriety, Raven's sure to attract more than a few admirers, but what happens when some of them take it a little too far?

Anachronism Meet Johnny Jacobs, a notorious vampire gangster who thrived during the Great Depression . . . but found himself in the middle of his own great depression whenever the 1930's ended. What's a guy to do?

Horrible Sebastian (no relation to the Sebastian found in "Interview With The Raven") is in quite a pickle. Actually, he's in a pretty big mess, and from the sounds of it, he's not the only one . . . there's a new menace running loose in the streets of Los Angeles, and unless Sebastian can do something about it, all of the city's vampires have a potentially terminal problem on their hands. What's a world-weary, downtrodden vampire to do? He'd better do something soon, because the situation is about to get terribly out of hand . . .

Dead By Dawn Walter Barr is a mortal journalist who's discovered something that could be tremendously unsettling to the city's vampires: he knows they exist. Not only does he know about L.A. vampire population, he's got proof of their existence on videotape and in pictures. And it gets better, because he's in the process of writing an article about them for a magazine. To top it all off, the vampires themselves don't know he knows. Or do they?

|
Arizona Indian Doll Another tale inspired by a Faster Pussycat song, though this one's not as closely-based on the song as "Bathroom Wall," and instead focuses on a half-vampire scoundrel starting her life over again out in Arizona after an explosive finale to her old life . . . and she's not exactly going to try to go about it in a legitimate way.
|
|
Bathroom Wall Inspired by the Faster Pussycat song of the same name, this little tale gives us a look at a different group of blood-drinkers that live in Los Angeles, ones who don't play rock 'n roll, drive fast cars, or keep cantankerous rats as constant companions. So what do these guys do for fun? Visceral, unpleasant things, that's what. They're not exactly your happy-go-lucky types, I suppose you could say. "Bathroom Wall" chronicles the adventure one of them has after calling a number he found on a bathroom wall . . .

Kimmie's Kooky Kreeper Kaper What happens when you put an ill-tempered young vampiress with an attitude problem with a gang of ghost-hunting college students and their lackbrained dog? Nothing terribly good, that's for sure. Throw a creepy old haunted mansion into the mix, and things start to get really ridiculous . . . but never fear, I kept good taste firmly in place, as there's absolutely no sign of that bastard Scrappy Doo anywhere to be found! I said awhile back that I was going to do a Kimmie/Scooby Doo crossover for the hell of it, and I went and did it, though the names have been changed to protect the incompetent . . . and this takes place in regular continuity, so as far as Hollywood Vampires canon is concerned, THIS REALLY HAPPENED! If the Pokemon crossover didn't completely kill my credibility as a serious vampire writer, this ought to nicely finish the job . . .

| Appearances
Sit back and let Screamin' Willie tell you a tale about an adventure he had a few decades back, and pay close attention to what this clever, slick vampire has to say, because as Willie can rightly attest to, appearances can be deceiving . . .

| She-Lion
"She-Lion" is a Brandi solo story, dealing with instincts within her that she's never had to confront before: the maternal instincts. However, that doesn't mean that there isn't any lack of action . . . this is a Hollywood Vampires story after all! This story takes place around ten years ago, outside of Hollywood, and it features the first appearance of the Sisters of Fury, the all-female, all-vampire biker group that Brandi and Clarisse used to ride with.

| Night
Run
Prototypical Hollywood Vampires -- this was the story that started it all.. This story doesn't happen within the framework of any of the others, and is basically a very early look at the character of Steele. This is also the most polished of my stories, as it's the one that's been through the most people thus far. "Night Run" deals with Steele racing for his very existence against the most dangerous opponent of them all . . .
