Unfortunately, the story that landed in today’s slush pile will not be the one that answers that question. It was a poorly-written, poorly-proofread collection of run-on sentences pertaining to two men who had lost their previous partners in the Zombie Wars deciding that life was worth living after all and having sex. It is as if this author had never written science fiction before, and decided to give it a shot by writing 2500 words of uninspiring m/m sex and mentioning a sci-fi-ish topic that’s gotten a lot of attention recently.
Anyway. Ravenous Romance is reportedly polling its readers about their feelings towards zombie romance, so who knows? Zombie porn could be coming to an ebook distributor near you.
Just not this story.

I’ve been trying to find a way to approach zombie porn. Sadly, I have yet to hit upon the proper combination of logistics, taste, and appeal to make it sexy, rather than disgusting. But someday, I’ll figure it out. Oh yes.
(The closest I’ve seen in the meantime is Mark Henry’s Road Trip of the Living Dead, which isn’t sexy at all, and I believe that was his intention. :> )
Let me know if you have any success. In fact, if you write and publish bona fide zombie porn, I will link to it in my blog.
The only erotic zombie story I’ve ever read that I enjoyed was “Eat Me” by Robert McCammon. Although to be honest, I’m not sure it was really classified as “erotic” per se, since in many ways it’s actually a romance, but I thought it was really sensual.
