Blood in the Rain Anthology Series MATURE CONTENT A project of Cwtch Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (February 2019). We provide the following information as an archive. About We Want Sex and Blood. For the vampire erotica anthology Blood in the Rain, we seek short stories. We lean toward works from Northwest authors (Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska) but are open to authors from anywhere. Your story must include both a vampire and an erotic element, but it doesn’t have to be a “true” vampire, whatever that is, and the vampire doesn’t have to be the story’s focus. Erotically, we’re open to anything from a sexy tease to hardcore porn. We encourage stories nonstereotypically including people who are LGBTQI (or A if you can make it work), people of color, and people any age above 18. Most of all, we want compelling characters having hot sex, with a story that draws us in. And a vampire. Bottom line: Make us horny.
