While Smut Peddler began nearly 20 years ago (2003) as a mini-comic scene, the iconic anthology book series, Smut Peddler, launched in 2012. The promise of inclusive, women and queer-led erotic comics raised over $80,000 (a number it would double in its sequel), and the rest was history. Now there are many editions of Smut Peddlers under the banner Smut Peddler Presents, and another upcoming sex-positive project celebrating the anniversary of this book. Indie publisher Iron Circus Comics is raising money for two novels in a single crowdfunding campaign: My Monster Girlfriend and Smut Peddler X: Ten Years of Impeccable Pornoglyphics

Smut Peddler Presents: My Monster Girlfriend features over a dozen comic artists from around the world and serves as the companion to My Monster Boyfriend, the first full-color anthology from the indie publisher. (As of writing this, My Monster Boyfriend is on sale!) Edited by Iron Circus Comics vet Amanda Lafrenais and Eisener award-winning editor Andrea Purcell, the anthology (like many before it) features a variety of erotic stories ranging from safe-for-work (SFW) to the complete opposite (NSFW). The Mary Sue is excited to share a sneak preview of one of the many stories inside Smut Peddler Presents: My Monster Girlfriend.
