We are looking for paranormal or horror queer romance and erotic romance stories which begin with that age-old line, It was a dark and stormy night.

With that as your opener, where do your characters take us? (Note: whether you actually open your story with that phrase is up to you, but use it as an inspiration).

These stories will be released in October, just in time for Halloween.
