Like A Veil: Arabian Nights Anthology MATURE CONTENT

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Each night for a thousand and one nights, Shahrazad spun tales as rich as damask to captivate her husband and preserve her life. Over the centuries, the Arabian Nights have been translated, expanded, expurgated, and celebrated for their twisting plots, sensuous language, and beguiling sexuality. Given that we are Circlet Press, home of erotic fantasy and erotic science fiction, we are always looking for the erotic angle, and a new lens with which to see sexuality and eroticism. Shahrazad had a thousand and one tricks up her sleeve to captivate the sultan night after night– and perhaps not only through her skill as a storyteller. In this new anthology we are searching for erotic short fiction inspired by the Arabian Nights. We might see tales of the djinn and other demon lovers, of veiled temptresses, of pleasure-domes and magic carpets. You might invent your own fantasy world that evokes the common lore, or you might retell one of the actual stories with an erotic twist.
