New publication: Elementary Erotica

Mar 15, 2011 18:56

Circlet Press' latest offering, Elementary Erotica, includes my short story "Songs Without Words", with a dash or two of steampunk.

Now I'm working on the next Circlet anthology, themed on the writings of HP Lovecraft. It's tough going, at least if you're not into M/M pairings. Arthur Conan Doyle at least gave Holmes a female foil in Irene Adler. There are scarcely any women or any sex in the Cthulhu Mythoes, The most prominent female character I can think of is the proto-human female mummy in "Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family". Thankfully, there's the more erotica-friendly Dream Cycle to work with, and the other proto-Lovecraftian writers to draw upon, particularly Arthur Machen's "The White People", which cries out for erotic adaptation, as does his "The Great God Pan".

Alan Moore's The Courtyard and Neonomicon, as well as his other Lovecraftian works, are another inspiration.
