The autobiographical essays in Edge offer insight into the passions of acclaimed author Jeff Mann. These memories, insightful as they are endearing, range from his boyhood obsession with the gothic allure of Dark Shadows to the doubt and pain of being a Southerner, and so at the edge of the gay community, and the appeal of leather bars and bear culture. Mann also visits gay meccas in these essays - the resorts of Key West, Provincetown, and Rehoboth Beach.

During the Civil War, two young soldiers on opposite sides find themselves drawn together. One is a war-weary scholarly Southerner who has seen too much bloodshed, especially the tortures inflicted upon the enemy by his vicious commanding officer. The other is a Herculean Yankee captured by the rag-tag Confederate band. When these two find themselves admiring more than each other's spirit and demeanor, when passions erupt between captor and captive, will this new romance survive the arduous trek to Purgatory Mountain?

This is an audiobook of men and monsters who find themselves captivated by one another in the night. With the taste of skin and sweat and, yes, blood, on their lips, kisses that are pained and painful, and bodies left to cool on the sheets like spent seed. Twelve stories that feature vampires and their victims indulging in libidos and mortidos. In New Orleans, an old flame becomes a vampire's new meal. A new student at a boarding school discovers that the local urban legend is hovering outside his window and eager to come inside.

In Jeff Mann's collection, the sweaty essence of masculinity imbues each verse - whether the poet is offering his take on Grendel, a sumptuous meal in a New Orleans fine restaurant, or evoking his childhood in Appalachia. Folklore and food and fraught coupling are his inspiration, with which he spins desires into words for the ear.
