'Nights in Pink Satin' Is A Sensual Read

"Nights in Pink Satin," by Sharon Maria Bidwell (Changeling Press) is an extremely sensual book. The title image, a bolt of fuschia-pink satin intended to line a coffin, draws the reader in with its bold color and luxurious feel.In the same way, the pink satin fascinates Vincent, a powerful (perhaps the most powerful ~ and famous ~ in the history of the undead) and attractive vampire who hasn't aged in centuries. In modern London, as he prepares for his annual vampire cotillion, Vincent becomes intrigued by the satin and obsessed with finding out who would want to line a coffin with such an extravagant fabric. He discovers the purchaser is another vampire, and tracks "her" to "her" home. Vincent assumes the owner of the pink satin-lined coffin will be a woman, and is turned on by the thought of sharing blood and sex with her. "She" turns out to be newly-turned vampire Martin, a rather lonely young gay man who wears pink glitter in his hair. When the sunlight traps Vincent ins
ide Martin's home and they're forced to share the close quarters of a cupboard (a closet, in American English), Vincent cannot deny his attraction to Martin is stronger than the urge for blood.Sensual details - sights, tastes, smells, and sounds - make the storytelling vivid and immediate. "Nights in Pink Satin" plays on the tension between the supposedly-straight Vincent and the lovely young Martin while immersing the reader in what the characters feel. There is fear, but most of all there is pleasure... Vincent always seems to get what he wants.
