We get email… some of which is unprintable, naturally, but some of which is more… well, I think I’ll just let this one speak for itself:

‘Tis the season for gift-giving and independent publisher Circlet Press is in the spirit. Each day of December up to the 23rd, a free story will appear at circlet.com in what the publisher calls their “Erotic Sci-Fi Advent Calendar.”

Just like the advent calendars which deliver a chocolate treat each day, circlet.com will have one delicious short story of erotic fantasy or erotic science fiction. Stories will only be up for 24 hours, though, so visitors must return each day to collect their next gift.

The selection will be as eclectic as the publisher, including all sexualities and orientations, and a range of science fiction and fantasy topics from vampires to artificial intelligence. Some of the stories will be from Circlet’s new line of ebook publications, others will be drawn from anthologies the publisher has produced over the past 16 years.

There you have it, folks. I swear this season gets weirder every year…
