"Blood Gothic" and "Beyond the Pale" are two short stories by Nancy Holder, presented by GothicScapes. "Blood Gothic" is about a woman who wants a vampire lover--and will do anything to seal her pact with him. "Beyond the Pale" is what happens when the Erl King of Goethe's fantastical poem invites a young woman to "ride so late, through night and wind" with a Changeling in her arms.
