Product Description
From Amazon
This 10th annual edition of the Hot Blood series amply proves that erotic horror is no passing fad: the physical and psychological connections between bodies in lust and bodies in extremis appear to stimulate the imaginations of horror writers as few other themes can. And the behavior of people in sexual situations is always open to new turns of the screw. As Lawrence Block writes in the effective opening tale, "Three in the Side Pocket," "People always got more interesting when you handed them something they didn't expect. Especially if it wasn't what they wanted. Especially if it was painful, or frightening, or both."
The 17 original tales in Hot Blood X include a brilliant, shocking story about radical body-sculpting by the underrecognized Brian Hodge, an atmospheric Civil War piece by Stephen Gresham, a wry suspended-time tale by Graham Masterton (inspired by Peter Weir's film Picnic at Hanging Rock), and a fine tale about fire fetishism by Bentley Little. The other well-crafted stories are by Ramsey Campbell, Max Allan Collins (with Barbara Collins), O'Neil De Noux, Dawn Dunn, Nancy Holder, Greg Kihn, Marthayn Pelegrimas (with Robert J. Randisi), Melanie Tem, Judy Tracy, Graham Watkins, and each of the editors (Jeff Gelb and Michael Garrett).
If you aren't yet collecting the Hot Blood series, start now, before the previous volumes go out of print. Nearly every year, a tale in this series is a finalist or winner of a Bram Stoker Award. --Fiona Webster --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Review
Edward Bryant "Locus magazine "Hot Blood"'s come a long way since its humble beginnings a few years ago. Clearly the editors are not only stretching their wings, they're pumping arcane substances to develop new and powerful wing muscles.

Still sizzling hot -- not cold yet!, Dec 15 1999
By Matthew D. Hydeman "voyage" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hot Blood X (Paperback)
One would think by the tenth novel in a series, the author would be struggling for ideas. That's the advantage of an anthology; the more authors you have, the better the chance that the ideas remain fresh and new. Hot Blood X doesn't let down, though there are a couple of stories that strain to fit into the Hot Blood mold in terms of eroticism. As the series editors wrote in a previous Hot Blood novel, keeping that balance between eroticism and out-and-out porn is difficult. It becomes even more difficult when you're adding horror to the mix. However, most of the stories in Hot Blood X stand true to the balance being achieved and beyond. This tenth novel to the anthology didn't disappoint me. I was repulsed, aroused, shocked, excited and even scared. :) Worth a read, I promise!

Almost a let-down from the previous hot blood books, Dec 24 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hot Blood X (Paperback)
Although I am a great fan of the entire hot blood series, I was rather disappointed at reading their latest addition. For the most part the writers seemed to be trying to desperatly stretch their imaginations to come up with something new. It failed, in my opinion. Although the book had one great redeeming value. The last story in the book had a chilling electrifying quality, especially for all those "curious" web surfers...overall, I would have expected more from the editors, but a select few stories saved a bit of face. Worth it only if you're a die hard erotic horror fan.

Titillating Terrifying Tales, Jun 30 2003
By Madelyn Pryor "Goblyn Queen" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hot Blood X (Paperback)
If you've never read a Hot Blood book, than start now. Never before has such a series of smart, original, gripping horror stories been put together. Normally with an anthology you have a few stories that are just boring, or pointless. That's not the case with Hot Blood X. Each and every story grabs you by the throat and won't let go or ease up until your done, and you've barely caught your breath before you're lusting for the next story. In this anthology are 17 original tales by such horror notables as Bentley Little, Brian Hodge, Ramsey Campbell and Jeff Gelb. Each and every story is chilling, and each will leave you breathless wanting your next bit of Hot Blood.
