Free (Kindle DRM-free) The Letter That Doomed Nosferatu [LGBT 1920s Germany Horror]

ATDrake · 07-04-2016, 03:57 AM

The Letter That Doomed Nosferatu by Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author and editor Steve Berman (ISFDB, Wikipedia) is his short historical horror story with m/m romantic elements, set during Germany's Weimar Republic era and the golden age of German Impressionist film as two young men become embroiled with an odd stranger as the titular classic Murnau film is about to be released, free courtesy of LGBT specialty publisher Lethe Press.

NB: this story is only filed under the LGBT and Horror categories and none of the romantic ones, and considering what classic German Impressionist film tended to be like, an HEA may not be in the cards if you were hoping for one of those. YMMV.

Currently free (and DRM-free) @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else worldwide that Amazon sells, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive-or-else program)

Description
Germany 1922: Tabner and Emrick are young ne'er do wells hiding from Paragraph 175, legislation over a half-century old that forbids homosexual activity. Emrick sleeps through the days so he can enjoy the cabaret culture. Tabner is his semi-willing partner-in-crime, though of late he has become obsessed with his pen pal, Florence Balcombe, the widow of Bram Stoker. When F.W. Murnau’s infamous film “Nosferatu” is about to premier, both Tabner and Emrick find themselves beguiled yet distressed by a strange older man met at the cabaret.
