Hello all - Please see if you can answer this question -
I read a novel around 1983 - 85 that I thought was a nominee for a hugo award, but I could be mistaken - however, here is the basic plot (from memory 30 years later) -
plot - A detective in a future Los Angeles, where everyone in the city must wear a respirator and sunblock, set on a missing persons case that leads him to uncover a cult that is made up of popular horror creatures (wolfman, vampire, ghosts, etc) that are actually aliens from another planet that were shipwrecked on earth. They have to have sex, often and if they can achieve the right frequency their orb or lamp or something will send a distress beacon and they will be rescued -
characters I remember -
Ghost which flirts with detective and seduces him, materializes a little more after each orgasm (something to do with his semen).
strange woman that has another being living inside of her that resembles a snake (detective finds this out while having sex and feeling something in his anus, when he looks down he sees the snake like creature which has a face - later he pulls the snake like creature which come out of the woman's vagina and she breaks into several pieces on the floor).
I could go on - but I think these are the bigger characters -
so if anyone can remember the title of this book I would really appreciate it - I have tried to search based on the plot to no avail - thanks and happy reading -
