Aroused by erotic horror?

[Arcanyx]

Hey everyone! I'm starting this thread to dive into erotic horror. Those highly sexualized tales that blend terror with explicit desire.
P.S No non-human sex here.
We're talking dark fantasies and steamy scares. I wish to understand what drives this genre and people who love it.
What's works best in an erotic horror setting? Share your favorites, is it forbidden lust, or haunted settings, or cults with sadistic seductions. I wish to understand and explore how these stories blend fear and arousal
Drop your ideas, thoughts, book recs, anything else you can think of...yes, music too! What got you hot and haunted?
(CNC, prey-predator play, knife kinks, or jump scares are not a sub-genre here. We are talking real spooky!!!)

American Horror Story can be quite erotic.

Following, and hoping to find a good book to start with.

Vampire horror has always had a sexual side to it - the kiss/bite of the neck portrayed as a form of orgasmic ecstasy has always attracted - the superhuman strength & hypnotic seductiveness of the male vampire, or seductive sex appeal if a woman. The union of bodies in mutual & insatiable desire

I think that could be very hot. I'm not really into bondage or BDSM, but in my fantasy, it does have an erotic touch. Or at least it can have one. I would read it, especially since you've ruled out non-human sex

Hi Arcanyx,

Yes, I am really warming to the idea of erotic horror, in the best traditions of Bram Stoker and Mary Shelly. Bram Stoker for his sexualised acts of horror and Mary Shelly for her body modification horror, although not overtly sexual in her book.

I like to build on Bram Stokers horror ideas about both physical corruption and infection, with blood and or cum and his ideas about moral and psychological adulteration of the victim. For example, everyone enjoys sex, but at the same time there is horror and fear about being physically and morally infected and or corrupted by it. That can be an interesting dynamic to explore, where your characters or victims fear and want something in equal amounts.

I like aspects of Mary Shelly horror ideas about altering and changing the victim's body, making it more sexualised and erotic. I'm not into anything involving corpses, but I think her basic idea of forcing a victim to undergo massive body modifications can be very fear provoking for victims. For example, what super model wouldn't fear the destruction of their beauty and figure, due undergoing some kind of modification like extreme weight loss or gain etc.

I also like H R Giger's art work about sexualised horror around impregnation, infection, body modification etc, if you want to look at something more modern.

Mind you, you have to be very clear about your boundaries and that your story is fiction only, as Lit can get nervous about publishing your story if you start heavily sexualising snuff and extreme gore.

I have a work in progress exploring some of these themes about erotic horror (but no snuff or gore), so if you want to chat more, message me
