FLESH FICTION: A Collection of Erotic Short Stories
In 2025, the Not Quite Write Prize for FLESH Fiction challenged authors aged 18+ from around the world to tackle the theme: Making the unsexy irresistible.
495 entries received
483,614 words (a veritable War and Peace of filth)
69 stories featured non-humans
28 featured inanimate objects
The result is FLESH FICTION, a bold, inventive and delightfully provocative anthology featuring thirty-one stories selected from the competition's most memorable entries, including the prize-winning story and a curated collection of judges' favourites.
Whether you prefer slow-burn seductions, deliciously depraved delights, inanimate object romance, monster sex, or plain old human intimacy, these stories prove that desire can bloom in the most unexpected places. Funny, heartfelt, sensual, surprising and occasionally outrageous, they explore attraction, fantasy, romance, lust, vulnerability and human connection in all their strange and wonderful forms.
Curated by the team behind the Not Quite Write Prize for Flash Fiction, this collection showcases emerging, published and award-winning writers pushing the boundaries of erotic storytelling. Together, these authors deliver an extraordinary range of voices, styles and perspectives, from tender romance and literary erotica to speculative desire, dark humour and unconventional passion.
Edited by Amanda Scotland and Edward Bicioc, co-hosts of the popular Not Quite Write Podcast, where media critique, cultural musings, and practical writing advice collide with irreverent humour, FLESH FICTION celebrates the creativity, diversity and unpredictability of modern erotic fiction.
Perfect for readers of erotic fiction, literary erotica, erotic short stories, romantasy, contemporary romance, sensual fiction, monster romance, unconventional love stories, LGBTQ+ fiction, adult anthologies and award-winning short fiction.
Once you've read these stories, you'll never look at the ordinary quite the same way again.
