I am trying to remember the name of a fiction trilogy I read about sucubbi and poets/authors. Any ideas?


I think one of the poets was John Keats and another was Percy Bysshe Shelley, but I’m not sure. The genre would most likely be classified as Fantasy. I could be mistaken, but I also believe that one of, if not the, main character had traveled back in time from the present. I know this sound wierd, but does it ring any bells?

Looking for Good Mystery Novels?


Alright, so I’ve never really been an avid fan of the mystery genre. I have only ever read two mysteries: And Then There Were None and Death Comes as the End, both by Agatha Christie.

Suddenly, however, I feel compelled to read some sort of mystery fiction sometime soon.

SEX IS OKAY.

VIOLENCE AND GORY DESCRIPTIONS ARE OKAY (both when explaining the murder and examining the body)!

BOOKS THAT BASICALLY CENTER ENTIRELY AROUND BOTH THESE THINGS ARE NOT OKAY. I am looking for something in the mystery genre, because I am interested in reading a mystery. I don’t want to pick something up that is basically about the sex life of a detective who happens to be solving a crime during the time of the plot.

I would especially like books that allow you to guess what happened before the end of the story, but this is not a requirement. Consider this while suggesting novels or authors, but don’t let it be your only concern. I’d like some variety, anyway.

Other than that, anything goes, really. :] Like I said, though, variety is good, so try not to recommend a bunch of the same thing.
A side note: Technical, legal stuff is okay up to a certain point. I don’t mind having to look a definition up now and then. However, I also do not wish to be forced to have entire pages translated online, if you understand what I’m saying.

Do you have any titles of books on Gothic Romance/Gothic Fiction?


I would like to know any titles of books in the Gothic romance or Gothic fiction genre. They are both the same, if I am not mistaken. (Correct me if I’m wrong.)

If you know any authors and specific titles of books or stories please post them here.

Thank you. ^ ^

fiction editor wanted to edit short stories?


I am looking for a very reasonable fiction editor who can help me edit a compilation of short stories (south asian genre) that I have completed. I would like to send them to magazines and agents but before doing that I want to make sure they are in mint condition. Is paying for editing pretty common these days and I wonder if most of the first time published authors pay someone to edit their work? What is the going rate?
