“The author William Maltese as St. Bartholomew”
by Diego Tolomelli
Graphic manipulation by Deana Jamroz
His pleasure, here, isn’t the same as when he stands before the huge stained-glass window of St. Etienne’s underground; that’s as close to a religious experience as the irreverent Vlad can ever hope to have. This is more laic, even if one o Diego’s new panels portrays the Christian St. Bartholomew in the process of being flayed alive. —SUCKS! THE FIRST OF THE DRAQUAL VAMPYRE CHRONICLES.

Vlad walkie-talkie cues the light man; in the main room, the lights go out; the plethora of Jfay candles simultaneously go on to appreciative gasps from the audience bathed suddenly in what seems purely candlelight...
The Draqual Vampyre Candle has been designed by Jfay to have the appearance of Draqual blue jeans smeared with blood as are the fashions of Vlad Draqual in Willaim Maltese's SUCKS! and is scented in the ultra manly scent of Leather.
No mortal or vampyre can resist sexy Vlad or the Draqual Vampyre Candle......
And I asked, “What can I do for the Wizard Calenza?”
And he said, “Not for me but for the Worm Woozel who would strike a bargain with House Draqual.”
And the Agreement was made whereby royal family Woozel worms died for DRAQUAL TEQUILA while the Worm Patriarch lived life-eternal.

There are some places that shouldn't be entered...especially when alone...especially without invitation. So, let internationally best-selling author WILLIAM MALTESE invite you to join him in this exploration of the S&M/B&D landscape wherein man/man love is expressed in chains, whips, handcuffs, ropes, leather, rubber, gags, hoods, paddles, pinchers, slings...and where sounds of passion are, more often than not, more terrifying than the screams of your worst nightmares. No stranger to the subject matter, MALTESE (usually writing as Lambert Wilhelm) has written over twenty-five novels on the theme. This collection of his short stories is pretty much guaranteed to shock and arouse you.
There was no doubt in the collective mind of the Family Draqual — once it was decided to commission a candle that would be indicative of the family’s connection with the world of S&M/B&D — that Purveyor to Vampires and Master Candle-maker Jfay would come up with another wax masterpiece in result. The Family Draqual was not disappointed.
Calling upon the Vlad Draqual (writing as William Maltese) S&M/B&D short-story masterpiece LOVE HURTS, by way of supplemental inspiration, Jfay has, this time, outdone herself with a candle that’s wrapped in chains and designed to bear the scars of one that has submitted to bondage and to the pains and passions of sex S&M/B&D style. The LOVE HURTS S&M CANDLE is a tall 3X9 pillar scented in Leather.

How many of us have not thought of lighting, or have not lit, a candle in memory of a loved one?
Since even vampyres have family members who are lost, not only to the disintegrating powers of sunlight, but to the malicious intent of individuals, sometimes of whole families of vampyre slayers, out to destroy us by driving wooden stakes though our hearts, is it so unlikely that we, too, sometimes share the desire to light a candle in memoria?
And what other candle-maker to provide just such a DRAQUAL IN MEMORIA CANDLE for those FAMILY DRAQUAL members who have become victims of vampyre slayers, individuals or groups, than “the” candle-maker of all candle-makers, Jfay, who has done just that in this commissioned piece of art waxwork that portrays the horror that has befell many a family member by way of stake-through-heart. The DRAQUAL IN MEMORIA CANDLE is impressive in stature (4X12 pillar) and is fragranced in Frankincense & Myhrr, the final tribute to any family member who may have been hunted down by members of the church. The candle is actually pierced by a "real" wooden stake and is handpainted to emulate the tragedy of spilt vampyre blood.
—Vlad Draqual
Excerpt From SUCKS!
Sargash has heard warnings against this journey he’s taking. Many a vampire, it is said, has visited this place and never returned. Likely, the locale has a very strong vampire slayer in residence, or maybe a whole family of them, like the always-to-be-avoided Family Joriah. Little is known by vampires about the origins of such enemies of vampiredom, most of what was once know is lost in the past as is the origin of vampires themselves. For every force there is a counterforce? For every good there is an evil? For every right there is a wrong?
In ear-splitting override of the resonant rhythmic whoosh … whoosh … whoosh … begins the hypnotically intense musical piece, Fight, specially commissioned by Vlad from the very-in-at-the-moment young composer Dj Jonez… —SUCKS! THE FIRST OF THE DRAQUAL VAMPYRE CHRONICLES.

Sandblasted on blue denim by Kerry Dikken
DO meet STUD DRAQUAL, the mortal in the Family Draqual woodpile.
He’s young, handsome, well-built, charming, sophisticated …
… with his own penchant for mystery, mayhem, murder …
… head of his own haute-couture fashion empire …
… guardian of secrets regarding Draqual vibrantly colored silks …
And with a confused sexuality that has a lot to do with sucking…
… but not of blood.
Internationally best-selling author William Maltese goes erotic/exotic in his STUD DRAQUAL MYSTERY SERIES with chief protagonist Stud Draqual who is sexy, handsome, rich, cultured, head of a world-wide fashion empire based upon one-of-a-kind silk manufacturing, AND who designs to-die-for (literally and figuratively) haute-couture women’s lingerie. Oh, yes, in his high-fashion world of beautiful and available women and men, Stud finds himself neck-deep in his very own sexual identity crisis.
What better way, then, to represent this popular William Maltese erotic/exotic literary series than with an erotically phallic candle that intermingles some of the vibrant and exotic colors reminiscent of Stud-Draqual silks, including blood-red, and infuse the whole with the highly erotic/exotic fragrance of “Exotic” that sexily combines the decadent scents of peach, strawberry, melon and cassis on an undertone of wicked apple?
Someone not only killed the author, who'd been an underground movie star, who'd been a model, who'd been a hustler, who'd been a cross-dresser…but killed the borderline drunk, who'd been a TV-network executive and anchor-man for the national news.
Someone dressed each corpse in Draqualian silk…a very special silk, by very special silk worms, who ate very special mulberry leaves, to make very special cocoons pre-dyed, in Technicolor digestive tracts, to very special perfection.
Stud Draqual knew the silk…knew the dead men…and would eventually penetrate the mystery to his own eminent peril, to know the killer…
From the pages of William Maltese's first book in the Draqual Mystery Series, the A Slip To Die For Candle seems to have fallen prey of the killer who dresses his victims in Draqualian Silk. Scented in very rich and luscious Mulberry such as the mulberry leaves eaten by the very special silk worms used to produce the beautiful Draqualian Silk, the A Slip To Die For Candle should be enjoyed while reading of Stud Draqual's perilous journey into unraveling this deadly mystery.
Draqualium vampirum
“I did not kill him, because the flower he discovered was so rare as to have never been seen before — which it was. I did not kill him, because the flower was so exceptionally, extraordinarily, and exotically beautiful — which it was. I killed him because the red-dye derivative from the flower could be beneficial and exclusive to FAMILY DRAQUAL textiles for years to come." — 12 July 1869 entry from Vlad Draqual’s Sud American Journal.

Stained-Glass Panel “The author William Maltese becoming Vlad Draqual, vampyre” by Diego Tolomelli
Graphic manipulation by Deana Jamroz
And He drew back the velvet curtain and revealed the exquisite stained-glass panel, back-lit to give our nakedness within the masterpiece the glow of real flesh as only an artisan like Diego Tolomelli achieves this side of the Renaissance. "Do you remember?" he asked me, as if I, even in my long-long life-time, could ever forget. "For me it has become such a highpoint that I have arranged its permanent display within the cavern at St. Etienne." —FROM THE JOURNAL OF VLAD DRAQUAL, MAY 2008
CHOCOLATE FIT FOR A KING!
“What have you done?” He’s aghast.
“Surely, it’s obvious.” I’m still chewing the evidence.
“You’ll be killed if anyone finds out. I’ll be killed if anyone finds out. That’s not meant for anyone but The Aztec!”
“We’ll just have to make sure no one finds out, then — especially Montezuma — won’t we?”
“What possessed you?”
“Curiosity to know if it’s really so special. Which it is, by the way. I can’t place the chili you’ve obviously mixed with the cocoa, though. Which chili is it? How much did you use?”
“I can’t possibly tell you such secrets.”
“Oh, you’ll tell me, all right,” I guarantee. And, he does.
