Men at Noon, Monsters At Midnight: Erotic Stories of Shapeshifters, Demon Lovers and Creatures of the Night

Edited by Christopher Pierce

Deadline: March 1, 2010

Sex is a beast, and sometimes, monsters are sexy. What gay man hasn't dreamed of being swept into the arms of a hot vampire, or longed to be hunted by a sexy werewolf? Have you ever laid on your bed jerking off wishing that an incubus would descend on you and finish the job? Horror movies and their creatures are often very homoerotic, but that subtext is usually left very subtextual. I want to bring the homoeroticism to the forefront.

What would it be like to be a spirit's lover? What if there were "monster bars" where creatures and their human admirers could hook up for some hot, horny monster sex? What if a vampire fell in love with a werewolf? Or a ghost had the hots for his buster? Imagine the sparks that could fly if a demon and a priest got it on…

Monsters can be established (vampire, werewolf, spirit, demon) or new creatures of your own creation. Let your imaginations run wild, but don't let it get too dark. I want hot, sexy stories, not violent tales of horror. It can be scary, but keep it hot. Stories can be from any character's point of view, monster or human.

Note: Do not use any specific characters from TV, Film or Literature (like Anne Rice's Lestat, Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Angel or Jacob from Twilight.) Those are copyrighted characters that are off-limits. Make up your own monster characters.
