Welcome to
We publish Queer SFF anthologies with an erotic bent. Check below for what we're up to right now.
Call for submissions: teeth
Teeth is a queer erotic SFF anthology about things that bite. It’s about the gleam of a fang in the moonlight, the vulnerability of soft flesh, the feeling of sinking into something supple and ripe. Vampires? Werewolves? Absolutely. Something more exotic? Please! As long as it’s got teeth, baby, bring it on.What we’re aiming for here is not so much erotica as eroticism. On-page sex is welcome but not necessary, on-page sexy is a must. Talk to me about the rush of sharp points piercing flesh, the sensual pleasure of blood spilling over the tongue, the feral joy of ripping into something yielding. About the power of running your finger along the edges of a razor-sharp maw and being sure you won’t get bitten—or hoping you will.Get weird with it, get dark or light with it. Get, above all else, your teeth into it.

About the Editor
Cecil Wilde (they/them) has been knocking about the publishing industry as a writer and editor for more than 15 years. They have accepted that the thing that makes them happy is queer SFF/spec fic so here we are. Some free hints about their tastes are that they love interesting settings, speculative biology, lean, sharp prose, strong openings and above all, being surprised (so feel free to ignore all that if you've got something surprising).
