Welcome to the Dark Side!

We are writers mainly from Australia and New Zealand who write speculative fiction with romantic elements. Be it fantasy, paranormal, dark urban fantasy, futuristic and everything in between.

Magic Thursday - Mermaids, Banshees, Succubi, oh my. The Results.

I received some excellent suggestions in the comments of last week's post and by email, so thank you to everyone who replied.

Here is list of responses.

  • Mermaids/Mermen
  • Banshees
  • Succubi
  • Selkies
  • Harpies
  • Baba Yaga
  • Faeries
  • Furies
  • Hellhounds
  • Dryads/Nereids
  • Japanese spirit creatures and ghouls
  • Fallen Angels

It seems people are weary of vampires, unless there is a new twist. Still vampire books are still selling. 

So with the list I ready had, this will be a series of posts that will go on for some time. If you have some further suggestions, please list them in the comments below.


Next week, we begin with Harpies


Until then, here are some images to get your imagination going.
