It's long been known that fear and arousal create the same type of response inside the human body. Putting them together, then, is a recipe for a scorchingly hot time. "Queer Fear" does just that by exploring the world of erotic horror. It's the ultimate marriage of lust and terror, the perfect blend of dark horror elements with sensuality and erotic content. This isn't some safe and sparkly paranormal romance; this is the place where angels fear to tread, and so would you, if you had any sense. Turn back before it's too late! We begin with "Reading Arteries," where a new designer drug engineered to force feelings of lust in those who take it. When the men hired to steal the formula decide to try it out, they end up addicted to love. Then, in "The Possession of Lawrence Eugene Davis," following the death of his father, Lawrence has returned to his family's ranch, but is quickly set upon by a demonic presence. Hope for release comes with the conveniently-appearing Elijah, but the deal he offers may be just as unholy as the demon itself. Next, "The Dark Revelation" brings us Derek, constantly at war with his darker half, a demon who uses Derek's body to rape and kill. And though Derek tries to isolate himself from people, nowhere is truly empty, and Derek's demon hungers again. "The Pain Cycle" follows Luke, despondent over the disappearance of his lover six months ago. When he witnesses a friend dragged into a tunnel by a hideous creature, he gives chase, only to learn the chilling truth about his lover-and who knows how many others. Finally, in "Matthew Powers Lives!," a porn shoot in a former mental hospital is plagued by strange equipment failures, leading the crew to believe the site is haunted. For Matthew, those fears are confirmed when a restless spirit confronts him personally, and he's a hottie!
