The first Anthology brought to you by RMThompson, published by Cyber-Pulp
OK, Men, and women, this is your chance to exploit all those male stereotypes, and then play with them at your will. "Testosterone" is going to be an anthology, published by Cyber-Pulp, with an all male theme. I am looking for horror stories only, but they can be of any theme. (I.e.: vampires, occult, werewolves, etc.) The only connection that each story will have is that the main character must be a male, with a larger than life stereotypical male attitude. These are the bikers, construction workers, lazy-lay-on-the-couch types, as well as chauvinistic pigs, or anything else that is typically male.
Although it is not necessary, more consideration will be given to stories that also have other typically male themes, fast cars, loose women, gambling, drinking, and the like. Stories can be in favor or against these stereotypes, as long as they are in there. Imagine a biker vampire, breaking the traditionally romantic suave idea of a bloodsucker. Create a womanizing, fat lazy husband type, who spends all his time on the couch, except during a full moon, when the wolf in him comes out.
Also, looking for ONE story in this anthology of a longer content, around 9000, with the title "Testosterone" to be the first story in the book.
Most of all have fun with the story. Although the story does NOT have to be humorous as well, I probably will be accepting lighter stories than serious ones.
WOMEN AND MEN are both welcome to submit.
Cursing is ok, violence is ok, as long as it is not excessive, and doesn't break the traditional rules. (No extreme violence on children, no rape on children, and no sex with animals.) Sex is a-ok with me, again no excessiveness.
