Lovecraft After Dark MATURE CONTENT

A project of James Ward Kirk Publications (see other related projects).

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

About

We are looking for short fiction and poetry blending erotica with the Mythos. Erotic encounters, forbidden romances between humans and the gods and demons of Lovecraft’s world. Ever wonder what obscene romance produced the human / elder god hybrid, Wilbur Whateley? How did the Black Goat of the Wood come to have a thousand young? These are just a few of the ideas that could be explored in “Lovecraft After Dark.” Explore what Lovecraft only hinted at. Let your imagination go wild here, but all submissions must somehow relate to Lovecraft’s universe. While explicit sexual content is encouraged, remember story comes first.
