First this is not a book for teenagers or children. What I’m looking for are stories inspired by the title, whatever (within the realms of decency, the title does, I’m afraid lend itself to a bit of nudge-nudge, wink-wink- sordidness) springs to mind and kick-starts the creative engine. It doesn’t even have to be of the horror/fantastical genre. Slipstream, thriller, romance, a mixture of genres would be interesting, whatever floats your (and my, of course) boat. I don’t want (or like) teenage vampires, vampire angst or zombies or any other over-their-sell-by-date beasts. High-ish fantasy might be okay as long as it is original and features no grumpy dwarves or ethereal elves.
Length: 5000 words max, but I will negotiate if absolutely necessary. Submission deadline: 27th February 2011.
