 Nancy A Collins: Tempter - an infinity plus review
Nancy Collins made her name -- and added a phrase to dark fantasy's vocabulary -- with her first novel, Sunglasses After Dark (1989), a tale of chic, urbanized vampires.
Collins makes these extracts, which are vital to any understanding of the rest of the action, as interesting as she can -- and it is to her credit that she succeeds so well -- but even so they do stand out in stark contrast to the breakneck pace of the rest.
On occasion this causes Collins some difficulties in presenting her material; most of the time she copes very well with these, but there are scenes involving two separate entities, one called Alex and the other Rossiter, where one has to pay close attention to be absolutely certain of who is whom.

 Darkest Heart by Nancy Collins
Darkest Heart continues the adventures of horror writer Nancy Collins' most famous creation - and after this Sonja Blue will retire for a while (if the book's Afterword is to be believed).
Collins may tire of telling tales of the Blue Woman, her readers never cease to be excited by the mix of gothic eroticism, the snappy dialogue of an old detective flick, and ass-kicking post-punk attitude.
Although she is technically one of the Undead, she can tolerate sunlight, endure contact with silver, and has not yielded to the uninhibited passions that will enable her to see human beings as mere prey.
