What is your take on erotic horror? How sexy should it be? How sexy can it be?
Is it a horror story with sexual elements, or a sex story with horrific aspects?
I've never written one--not truly, at least, though others might argue that my non-consent comes close. So, I'm trying one. But what I am ending up with is a good story, maybe even an exceptional one--it's hard for me to tell with my own stuff--that, without going into detail, I'm not sure anyone should read, or that I should have written. Somewhere in the process, the horror part outgrew the sexual part, like a laugh that went on too long, becoming creepier and creepier as it persisted.
I'm not sure it's erotic anymore, or even that it ever was, though, it is all about sex. I could see people being aroused by it, but I'm not sure I'd want them to be. In fact, the idea bothers me a bit. What a strange reaction to something I, myself, wrote.
Anyway, weigh in on this, please. I love the category, but I find it...confusing.
