Ruby Red Lips
A downloadable book
New Hampshire, 1995
For Cally, it was a fairly typical night. Leave her college dorm, trek off campus to a nearby bar, go endure some local band who’s opening for a West Coast one that may actually not suck, and end up low-key crushing from across the room on the cute goth girl dancing alone.
Her expectations that the band would be good were high; her expectations of being assaulted by a vampire and having her entire life turned upside down were zero.
Oh well. At least she was right about the band.

Ruby Red Lips is a novella set in the same universe as "So, About Last Night..." and Can't Play Dead.
Length: 30k words

Finally got around to reading this one and liked it quite a lot! Ash and Cally are really interesting characters, and I loved seeing how their dynamic evolves. I will say, I do think the story hits a notable hit in pacing and tone sometime after Ash's vampirism is fully revealed. The whole novella shifts from an intimate dissection of sapphic queerness through vampirism into a stringed together sequence of brutal events that ends rather suddenly. I still enjoyed my time with it, don't get me wrong, but I feel as though the last section of the novella could have used a serious slowing of pacing, and a lot more focus on the conflict between Ash and Cally. Overall though, I very much enjoyed my time with this Novella, and I'm very excited to read Cant Play Dead.
