In a combined edition with Blown

version.
DEDICATION: "For Forrest J. Ackerman, the Scarlet Pimpernel of fantasy"
(in the combined Playboy and Berkley editions only).
COVER
TEXT:
Herald Childe has just seen a home movie in which his partner was
brutally murdered, his life-fluids drained by a lady with razor-sharp
dentures.
Childe is a private
dick. He's accustomed to sticking his nose into other people's
business, and it's usually dirty. But he's not prepared for the
gut-churning horrors which await him as he wades through the L.A. smog
following up a lead in the most disgusting case of his career.
He is plunged into a waking nightmare of sexual brutality and
supernatural bestiality; he becomes entangled with a snake-woman; he is
seduced by a filthy human sow; and he lays a ghost, only to realize
that he's the one getting laid - by a woman working off the
frustrations of over a century in ectoplasmic exile.
But what can he do? He can hardly tell the police that he's discovered
a crowd of sex-mad vampires and werewolves from another universe...
