About the authors
Clare took the pen name London from the city where she lives, loves, and writes. A lone, brave female in a frenetic, testosterone-fuelled family home, she juggles her writing with the weekly wash, waiting for the far distant day when she can afford to give up her day job as an accountant. She's written in many genres and across many settings, with novels and short stories published both online and in print. She says she likes variety in her writing while friends say she's just fickle, but as long as both theories spawn good fiction, she's happy. Most of her work features male/male romance and drama with a healthy serving of physical passion, as she enjoys both reading and writing about strong, sympathetic and sexy characters.
All the details and free fiction are available at her website.
Clare also writes as Stella Shaw, and launched a new series of rent boy romances in 2021.

Born in the artists’ community of Woodstock, NY, Morgan Elektra discovered her passion for writing at a young age, penning stories of witches, vampires, and monsters at the dining room table. After years working day jobs and moonlighting as a reviewer for popular genre website Dread Central, Morgan left the comfort of an office to follow her dreams of writing fiction. She spent the early twenty-teens as a freelance ghostwriter of erotica, but has now put aside the masks to write under her own name. Morgan attends Southern New Hampshire University, where she is completing her MFA in Creative Writing. She writes dark fiction, paranormal romance, and erotica for those who, like her, are in love with the dark.
When not writing she can be found reading, or volunteering with and participating in her local LGBTQ+ community.
She currently lives near Savannah, GA with her husband, their cat Harlequin, and—if the rumors are to be believed (and she sincerely hopes they are)—an awful lot of ghosts.
If you have any questions this almost entirely true bio doesn't answer, Morgan encourages you to ask! She is an open book... cracked spine and all!

The official bit: Rebecca Buchanan is the editor of the Pagan literary ezine, Eternal Haunted Summer, and is also a regular contributor to ev0ke: witchcraft*paganism*lifestyle. She is also the Editor-in-Chief of Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the publishing arm of Neos Alexandria.
The unofficial bit: I write and I read (fairy tales, fantasy, horror, mystery, romance, and science fiction). When I am not writing or reading I am thinking about it. Usually while baking or weeding (very cathartic, weeding. I recommend it for working through knotty narrative issues). While I do write straight-up speculative fiction, I tend to mash-up genres, and most of my stories have a strong mythological and/or Pagan element. Adding a God or Goddess to a story can only make it more interesting.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2017This collection of paranormal gay erotic shorts is perfect for the busy reader.
As we head into the hectic holiday season, reclaiming every minute of the day can be essential, so I love the flexibility this book offers. You can breeze through one story in just a few minutes, perk up your day, then move on with it.
This anthology spans the gamut of paranormal genres and tropes and revels in sensual and erotic gay connections of the body and heart. Several of the shorts are witch or shifter themed, so it’s perfect for the Halloween season. Readers who enjoy short, snackable vignettes will eat up this diverse quality collection of male-male menage erotica.
Here are my favorite stories from the collection!
Inside Man by Clare London
I’m not usually into ghost romances. In fact, I tend to avoid them. I mean, where’s the fun if they can’t touch each other? But Inside Man is clever and creatively gets around the usual ghost romance restrictions. In Inside Man, a ghost accidentally possesses a man as he’s trying to comfort his lover, and ends up bringing them closer together as a couple. For such a short story, Inside Man packs a lot of emotional punch. It’s sexy yet stark, joyful, and poignant—an excellent start to the anthology.
The Secret of the Golden Cup by Rebecca Buchanan
The second story is this anthology swings an engaging change of mood as we check in with a married couple set on seducing the talented antiquities professor who accidentally recovered an artifact they’ve been hiding for centuries. The author’s storytelling voice is lovely, and this short has memorable characters and timely wit, with some danger and sexy times mixed in. The imagery, the action, the spell-casting, the clash of magical cults…I loved everything about this story, and I can easily see this story spawning an entire series grounded in fascinating mythology and present-day magical shenanigans. I’d totally read that.
The Cave by Dale Cameron Lowry
This story is the first multi-menage of the collection, with m/m/m and m/m/m/m/m combinations. The 5x sounds complicated, but the men possess magic, so the sex gets a little creative. It’s also one of the more adventurous stories in the anthology, set on an archaeological dig site in an undeveloped area. The Cave is nicely developed, with unique characters and a believable magical story world. It’s pretty sexy too. 😉
The Endless Knot by Morgan Elektra
Oh, this story is luscious. Set in New Orleans on Halloween night, a vampire, a werewolf, and a human meet in the middle of a raucous crowd and magic is just waiting to play with them. Beau, the human, is lovely, the kind of femme man women want to be like and men want to be with. Decked out in leather, lace, mesh, and black velvet, he’s practically a siren, and Jackson can’t resist him even if human blood isn’t his usual preference. When out of the crowd appears Rafael St. Pierre, the wolf who is Jackson’s only regret, the sensuality of this story explodes off the page. Old flames reunite with a delectable new lover, and this story rebels in the attraction, the connection, the possibilities. Even if only for one night, a human bridges the chasm between two supernaturals whose natures crave dominance.
I also really liked this note from the publisher:
Sexy Little Pages is a sex-positive publishing venture that supports and promotes independent erotica authors and editors. As a society we’re ashamed of sex and sexuality but we should celebrate it. Sex is an integral part of life, whether it’s fun, filthy, flirtatious, unfulfilling, an escape from reality or something else entirely. Our needs, expectations and fantasies are all different so we aim to publish for everybody and every body, across the whole delicious spectrum of genders, abilities, and desires.
OVERALL RATING: 4/5
Overall, I give this anthology a 4/5 rating. There were some stories I loved and some that were just okay, but the general quality bar was good. Readers who enjoy m/m/m erotica short stories should give this collection a try!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 20179 very enjoyable short MMM stories. Each story gives you just enough flavor of the characters to keep you interested and invested in the outcome. Each ends with a happy for now scenario that left me daydreaming about what could happen next. Super steamy and fun!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2017This is a book a short stories and is a really quick read. I found the stories to be enjoyable however, they were way to short to give any real substance. If you like shor short stories this may be the bundle for you. Each story is about a short chapter worth of reading. I received an ARC and voluntarily left a review.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2017If you look for a book to get you in a Halloween mood, you are at the right place. Myths, Moons and Mayhem is an eclectic collection of erotic M/M/M stories about ghosts, vampires, magic, werewolves, fairies and even aliens. Finishing one of them, makes you wonder what the next would be and so on until you finally hit the end, wishing there was a bonus story or something.
I’ve rated the anthology with 4 stars rounded because I really liked most of the stories. While there were a couple of them which weren’t anywhere up my street, the rest more than made up for it. Before I started, I set my mind on choosing my top three, but it was harder than I thought it would be.
The first story, Inside Man by Clare London, got me intrigued with its wonderful twist on ghost stories, the great showing of the characters’ emotions and the focus on the inner workings of the joy of lust.
The Secret of the Golden Cup was quite original, and I read it in one breath (not only because I have weakness for pagan mythology). It had magnificent imagery and well-paced action scenes. There’s this story in every anthology I’d love to see a lot more of and this was it for me this time.
Careful What You Wish For was, on the other hand, perfect the way it was: a sweet, fun and romantic cocktail of midsummer madness with a pinch of love magic. It also made me smile a lot, and when a story makes me smile, I’m sold.
Same goes if it makes me laugh out loud, which happened when I read Close Encounters of the Three-Way Kind while waiting in queue at a flower shop. Don’t ask. It totally made my day, with everything from the sharp sense of satire in the narrator’s voice down to the imaginative take on the specifics of the alien’s anatomy (no, they are not green, and as far as I understood, not little at all). It’s one of my top 3 stories.
The Cave is another favorite, mostly because there’s a whole world created in it. The characters are enjoyable, complex and real. There’s magic, with no explanation given why or how the characters have it. They just do, and it exists, as passionate and real as fire. Like every story by Dale Cameron Lowry it also makes you switch to Wikipedia or [insert info source of choice] and learn something new, thus broadening your perspective. This is the story from this anthology I’d gladly read again.
The story that completely won my heart, though, was Celyn’s Tale by Rhidian Brenig Jones. Like it usually happens, I’m lost for words. Just like when you fall in love, if you can explain it, it’s not really love. I did fall in love with the way it was written, with every word like a pearl on a string after the other, and the way it transported me to those lush forests of old. It’s not a story about magic, it is pure magic itself and there’s a radiance about it.
There is something for every taste and everyone can choose their own top three, or more. I didn’t comment on the erotic side of things so much as that’s not the thing I go into a story. I’ve heard from people who do, that reading the book on cool autumn nights will heat them up.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun collection of MMM short stories.
I haven't read any of these authors before and there are several I now want to look at. This is a good fun collection of MMM stories with the theme of supernatural beings, heavy on the erotica but with decent storylines as well.
Well worth buying. Recommended.
