Come and get it while it's hot! The Edge of Propinquity is one of my favorite online magazines, featuring a monthly mix of ongoing, or "universe" stories—sort of like the classic old movie serials of the 1940s and 1950s, only without quite as many Rocketman cameos—and one-off guest stories, showing you the freaky side of the fictional world. I was a guest author for TEoP in 2008, with a gory little story called "Let's Pretend." Feeling the sting of my long absence, I went crawling back to their door, and was rewarded with the chance to be a guest in their home once more.
Ladies and gentlemen, my story for the November 2009 issue of The Edge of Propinquity:
This is me enjoying the glories of being a horror girl, pure and simple. It's dark, it's squishy, and it makes me very happy to be able to get it out there and share it with the world. Blood stains and all.
Calliope issue #17 of the Sandman comic book series. First story of the Dream Country arc.
It features a muse who is captive of an elderly author who sells her to a younger author. The younger author then proceeds to rape, rather than bleed, the muse for inspiration. The tale ends with the muse being avenged.
Ah! I remember that one! And you're right; in the end, they're not that similar. :) But still, it's good to be braced for people asking if I meant to do that (which I didn't, I wasn't thinking of Sandman at all).

And lacked that creepy vibe.
Come to think of it, it wasn't really a similar story at all.
