Incubus Dreams is a 2004 horror/mystery/erotica novel by American writer Laurell K. Hamilton,[1][2][3] the twelfth book in the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series.

She, Jean-Claude, Richard, and Damian are all experiencing unexpected increases in their magical power, with unpredictable results.

Fifth, Anita attempts to assist the police in solving a series of vampire serial killings, apparently focusing on area strip club workers or patrons.

Anita learns that she can partially control the ardeur by drawing power from others' lust and by ensuring that her other desires, such as physical hunger, do not go unfulfilled.

The major unresolved issues in Anita's personal life appear to be her relationship with Damian, who she attempts to offer more independence but who also wants to be one of her lovers, and her role as a law enforcement officer, which is becoming more and more difficult as she continues to identify with the monsters.

In the epilogue, Anita explains that she has bought gifts for her various lovers (except for Richard), and that she is committed to continuing her life as a vampire executioner, and to resolving the remaining open plotlines discussed above.
