Sounds of the Night A project of Sam's Dot Publishing (see other related projects). This project is believed to be defunct. (May 2013) About We are looking for sensual science fiction and fantasy. We will also consider verrrrrry mild horror and dark fantasy. We are not looking for erotica or graphic narrative. We prefer chills of excitement (okay, and arousal), not drooling lust.
