What is Bloodlust Seeking?
Bloodlust is looking for anything and everything under the umbrella of dark romance, gothic fantasy, taboo, creepy, and erotica works. Anything that invokes the feeling of forbidden passion and horror is what we aim to publish. But don't be afraid to submit a piece if you're unsure about the theme- anything unconventional will be happily reviewed and considered. This is a creative space for all types of emotional depths. We accept poetry, prose, short fiction (1000-2000 words) as well as visual art.
The freakier the better!
Submissions are to be sent to our email:
For all types of submissions, please do not submit more than 5 pieces at a time. Writing pieces must be submitted as .docx or PDF. Visual art submissions must be submitted as a PDF or .PNG/.JPG
