“Sinister Seductions”
Open Call
for Anthology Submissions
Release
Date: October 2012
Sinister
Seductions is an anthology of paranormal romance stories and poetry edited by
Roxanne Rhoads .
This
collection will consist of paranormal dark desires and supernaturally seductive
tales of all things sinister and scary – think vampires, werewolves, demons,
witches, and ghosts.
All romantic heat levels accepted from softly
romantic to hot and steamy.
I’m
looking for unique takes and edgy twists on popular paranormal characters- give
me something new, dark, delicious, and sexy. I’m not looking for the common
vampire meets human, bites and has sex with human and falls in love story- give
me something I’m not expecting, something new and delightfully dark.
Stories
containing the following will NOT be considered;
INCEST
BESTIALITY (SHIFTER OK)
RAPE/RAPE FOR TITILLATION
PEDOPHILIA
This
anthology will pay NO royalties as a contract will state.
