King Arthur. Guinevere. Uther Pendragon. Morgana le Fay. Merlin the Wizard. Sir Lancelot. Sir Gawain. Mordred. Maybe you know all of these names and more; maybe you've only heard of a few. Maybe you've heard of sordid love affairs or magic enchantments gone wrong. Tales of the world of Camelot have been adapted into animated movies, television dramas, Broadway musicals... and now erotica. Read about Arthur’s origins from the steamy love affair of King Uther and Igraine, a woman married to another man. Take a peek into the mind of Mordred, a villain against his own choosing, as he seeks out his own pleasure before fulfilling his destiny. See how Arthur and Lancelot ache for each other, and feel your pulse quicken as they finally give in to temptation.

Fantastic Erotica is on sale for 99¢!

We were thrilled this weekend to hear that N. K. Jemisin’s The Fifth Season had won the Hugo Award for Best Novel. We’re big fans of Nora’s work, and were proud to publish her delicious anthropological bisexual public-sex story “The Dancer’s War.”

To celebrate her win, we’re making our anthology Fantastic Erotica 90% off for two weeks so more people can get their hands on the story. A measly buck is a great deal for The Dancer’s War all by itself, but this comes with amazing stories by Frances Selkirk, Elizabeth Schechter, Kierstin Cherry, Angela Caperton, Sacchi Green, Kal Cobalt, Elizabeth Reeve, Kathleen Tudor, Monique Poirier, Sunny Moraine, Clarice Clique, Nobilis Reed, David Sklar, Michael M. Jones, David Hubbard, Shanna Germain, Bernie Mojzes, and Vinnie Tesla as well.

Skeptical? Have a look at Publisher’s Weekly’s starred review or Charlie Jane Anders’ review on io9.
