Ancient prostitutes have always interested me, since a lot of them did it for worship and not just for money. It's such a different dynamic than modern times. I'm in love with any history about Greece/Rome/Egypt, so I'm sure I'll love the book. If it's written in an interesting way, anyway...I'm not much for the books that read like textbooks and have a bazillion footnotes everywhere. ^^;
Cool Air is one of his short stories. It begins with the main character talking about how drafts of cool air freak him out. Then he explains why. *shudders* You need to read it. I, however, need to forget that I read it. XD;
I like some kinds of creepy horror, but graphic descriptions of various disgusting monsters really squicks me.
Have you ever read "The Hour Before Dark" or "Smoke and Mirrors"? Both are excellent, although "The Hour Before Dark" pushed my squick limits. You might like it. :D And "Smoke and Mirrors" involves ghosts and a gay actor who has a crush on a straight guy...and a vampire who is far from cliched...and a REALLY creepy house. Riiiiight up my alley. XD
