1. Shadows Beyond The Veil by alt11 

Tags: noir, thriller, detective, lesbian, romance

In the neon-stained shadows of Nocturne Bay, Gail’s world is defined by the plywood wall between her and the city, until a mysterious visitor arrives to tear it down. A gritty noir romance where trust is the most dangerous gamble of all.

Author’s Note: I’m grateful to the RedQuill for giving my story a home. Shadows Beyond the Veil began with a question – What happens when someone who’s built their life around numbness finally touches something real? The answer turned into a chase through rain-soaked streets, a corruption investigation, and a love story.

The idea started with a simple image – a woman in a dim booth, her hand reaching through a hole in the wall. Brick by brick, it turned into a noir novel by itself.

Thank you for reading. If the fog of Nocturne Bay lingers with you, I’ve done my job.

4. Jealous Witch Rewrites Her Favourite Porn by xghostindustx

Tags: smut, anal, erotica, horror

A jealous witch time-travels into her favorite porn to replace the star, claiming the older man for herself with strawberry-lubed passion.

Author’s Note: I started my trilogy because I watched a porno that really pissed me off mostly because the guy in the video resembled my actor crush. I wanted to be the one with the man and I was gonna try and get it, that’s when I found RedQuill and well… Our adventures begin.

5. Sorority Sex Toy by behr

First in a series of a femdom sorority theme fetish. This one taking place at cabin in the woods during a winter break from a local college campus. Part one, with the first thirteen chapters.

Bored and horny, they decide to teach the man a lesson in discipline and manners.

6. Love And Betrayal In A Time Of Covid by runningpants

Tags: erotica, smut, femdom, lesbian, romance, realism, impending doom, quarantine

A weary traveler returns to the home he and his girlfriend share. But a challenge they thought buried in the past awaits them.

Whether you’re here for the storytelling, the atmosphere, or the more daring concepts, there’s plenty to dig into. If something grabs your attention, give it a read and drop some feedback. That’s what keeps writers going and helps the community grow. And if you’ve been thinking about sharing your own work, this is your sign to jump in.

Author’s Note: My goal was to have two parallel relationships. One that was romantic and loving, and one that was just the worst. Hopefully the antagonist came off as unhinged as I was going for.
