The smoke that flooded his mouth and spilled down his throat tasted the way a high school chemistry lab smells. Next to him, he felt Glory’s warmth and the nearness of her hand outstretched to catch the long glass pipe when it inevitably dropped out of his hand. Misha was suddenly afraid: You’re one of the first dozen people to take XDMT, what if …? –from “Lifting the Veil” by Kit O’Connell
This Is The Way The World Ends, March 1st from Freaky Fountain Press
Update 3/1: This book is now available. Read an excerpt or buy it here.
We’re less than two weeks away from the release of This Is The Way the World Ends, the new anthology of “apocalyptic erotica” from Freaky Fountain Press. The volume will feature my story, “Lifting the Veil” along with the works of 9 other authors. The Fountain’s Upcoming Releases page has this to say about the book:
Sex at the end of the world.
A taste of apple on your starving tongue. You shiver. Will you fuck for it?
Transcendence or death? Angel or demon?
Will you flee the immolation or will you embrace it?
Here, in the ruins, it’s all the same.
These are the last days.
Come with us.
In addition to This Is The Way The World Ends, Freaky Fountain is also releasing Bad Romance, a collection of erotica based around destructive relationships. They’ve even got a couple more anthologies open for submissions.
I’m really excited about these anthologies, and the fact that my blog readers and fans will finally have a chance to read some of my fiction. “Lifting the Veil” is an exciting story of what happens when a pair of pansexual chemists discover a terrible message hidden in the visions of a new experimental drug. I’ll be posting more about this story, including a longer, more explicit excerpt, as the release date approaches.
Update 3/1: This book is now available. Read an excerpt or buy it here.

@carol:
Thanks for your comment. It’s great to know you will be reading. However, I do feel the need to note that this ‘Kit’ is more of a Lord than a Lady.
This sounds incredibly interesting and hot…and exciting for you too! Kudos on getting some of your work published. That is fabulous!

@Delta: I haven’t had as much time for fiction lately as I might like, because I’ve been focused on some other writing projects. But fiction is my first passion, and so it is intensely gratifying to have it published. Thanks for your comment!
You know, I don’t think you ever told me what exactly this story was about. Regardless, I’m very happy for you. Congratulations on this publication and so many more to come!
@Honey: I was thinking that earlier today actually. Part of me wants you to read it now, but the rest of me wants you to discover it in the book along with everyone else when it’s published. I’m really excited! Thanks for your comment.
I think if I were to read it right now, I’d be robbing myself of the experience of actually seeing it in print, as well as reading the other pieces. The thing I like about reading anthologies is trying to figure out why the editor chose certain pieces and arranged them in the way they did.
@Honey: The anthology it is! I am also highly anticipating seeing the other stories I am sharing the book with.
