House of Hellish Harlots v0.036

It's time for another release. The public website version has been updated to v0.036.

You can play it here: https://houseofhellishharlots.com/

This only adds one new harlot, but she's a special one.

Succuba
Most harlots only have one sex scene. Succuba was the poll winner of old placeholder names that people wanted to see given a full scenario, so I wanted her to be a little special. As a result she has 10 separate scenes. However, these are fairly short. This fits her in-game lore as being a little too 'efficient' a succubus. Outside of the game lore she serves a mechanical purpose of being another way for players to convert spare semen to coins without worrying too much about getting their soul sucked out. (This will become more relevant once I start opening the demo out to more rounds.)

Patreon and SubscribeStar are 2 releases ahead. They got v0.038 last night. That adds the fitness-freak energy bunny harlot, Leppi Navitas. It also (finally!) adds Amoura D'Coeur's long-awaited repeat scenario (where she's considerably more dangerous). Succuba also gains repeat visit functionality, but that's just a minor mechanical tweak that has no changes to her core scenario (she's not one to remember the men she has fun with!).

(Obviously, if you like how the project is going, I'd appreciate some support there!)

Hentai Game Review: Shrift 2

The first Shrift was one of those games I always felt I should have reviewed, but never got around to it.  It's a good game and one I'd probably recommend, but I still haven't finished it, so I didn't feel qualified to write a proper review of it.  It's fairly hard, for a H-game, and the idiosyncratic approach to saving meant I kept getting stuck at various points and putting the game down.

Now to the sequel, Shrift 2, which is thankfully much easier and overall feels like a much more polished game.  This one I did complete... sort of.

First up, let's get some important things out of the way.

Shadow cowgirl

Okay, let's go right to the art style.  It's idiosyncratic.  Personally, I think it's improved from the previous game, but it will be a barrier for some people, especially if you prefer your porn games to have graphics similar to the lifelike 3D models of the many adult games on Steam.  Personally I think it's the animations and how the characters move with the sex combat that makes it work, but that won't hold for everyone.  I'd recommend giving the free demo a look to see if it works.  You'll know fairly quickly whether it hits the spot or not.

The next is how the game handles saving.  As with the first game, which (I think) was influenced by Undertale, there is meta-weirdness going on.  Unlike typical RPGs, you can't just rewind to a previous save point.  Whatever you put the player character through will be preserved between save states.  I found this out the hard way after letting the character get comprehensively sex-drained, loading a previous save and then finding out the character still had all the levels lost and a pile of negative status ailments from his 'fun times'.  At the time I didn't know how to recover from that and was forced to start again.  Thankfully, after getting more familiar with the game, this isn't that much of a problem.  Levels are easy to regain and most ailments go away with a good night's sleep.  The hotel the main monster girls end up in also gives you the opportunity to re-experience the sexy times without having to go back to a previous save, but I think the game could benefit from a similar monsterpedia re-fight option (at the relevant power level) the original Monmusu Quest has.  That's mainly because I like being legitimately surprised and beaten by the monster girls' sexy moves rather than taking the begging option to experience them.

She's about to give you a very big slurp

The last is that the game isn't complete yet.  You get part one, with parts two and three (and maybe more) coming later as free (I think) updates.  This was how it worked with the original Shrift and the dev did deliver on that, so they probably will again.  As it is, the game still has plenty of content for a H-game, so don't let that hold you back from diving in right away.  There's about 7-8 hours here, probably more if you want to grind up to unlocking all the H scenes.

With those caveats out of the way, let's get onto the game proper.

I played this one using Textractor for machine translation and was able to stumble to the 'end' after looking some things up on the ULMF forum.

The setup is you're an apprentice priest tasked with clearing out demons.  You pick up a sexy shadow girl companion early on and then find out you have a weird symbol on your hand that allows you pick up more demon girl companions after you defeat them.  There is also plenty of other glitchy weirdness going on that hints of larger revelations later.  I have a feeling this might be linked to the original Shrift as some sort of prequel, but bear in mind I'm going off machine translation, so my understanding is fairly sketchy at best.

Standard RPGmaker Church

The game world consists of a town hub with various locations to visit.  More are opened up later (including a hotel to house your growing harem of demon girl companions).  The locations are divided between your typical shops, dungeons (of which there are 3), and quest locations needing to be visited to advance the overall plot.  The plot is advanced through main quests (mostly) given out by the nun character in the church.  There are also various side quests which can be given out by the nun or NPCs in the game world.  Some are the typical recurring 'fetch X of thing' side quests while others unlock additional demon girl companions.  There is also a day/night cycle with the player character moving it along with each place they visit.

Town Hub

Rather than typical RPG-maker navigation, the dungeons are rendered in classic 'blobber' style as pseudo-3D mazes with wandering monsters (similar to the original Dungeon Master if you're really really old).  Unlike the previous game, the majority of these monsters are regular RPG combat encounters with no H-content.  Normally I don't like this in H-games, but it doesn't get in the way too much.  If you do get level-drained to 1, it's fairly easy to blast through one of the dungeons and get right back up to around 20 or so again.  There is a grind element, but it's not as bad as other games.

In a dungeon

Then there is the sexy H-content fights or 'temptation battles'.  The game solves the habitual realism problems of how to have sexy combat when one side is fighting with regular weapons by having your main offensive move be 'praying'.  This is based on a Faith stat, which also doubles up as HP.  You also (later) have access to magic attacks.  There's a nice balancing act going on here.  The regular faith attacks are based upon how much faith (or HP) you have.  In contrast, magic attacks do damage based on how low your faith is.  Because this is a sexy combat H-game, you also have a lust bar.  Let that get too high and you'll be rendered helpless while your opponent has 'fun' with you.

I don't think this is going to be a 'clean' fight

The mechanics deserve special mention as I think the Shrift 2 dev might have solved one of the main issues with this type of game, especially when the succubi and monster girls have level-drain moves.  Because it's a H-game, you want the monster girls to do sexy things to you.  But if you let the monster girls do sexy things to you, you end up losing progress to Game Overs and losing levels that have to be ground back up again.  With Shrift 2, getting drained is also a form of character progression.  The demon girls are slotted in as interchangeable companions and they aid you during fights with special moves.  They are levelled up by... ahem... sucking levels out of you.  Getting drained also generates SP (sacrifice points), which are then used to unlock skills and passive abilities on a separate skill tree.  It's an interesting approach.  The game is currently easy enough (after my experiences with the first game and knowing I was going to be fumbling with machine translation, I pussied out and picked EASY difficulty) that I found I didn't really have to use the skill tree much, but there are definitely some ideas there I've filed away for future reference.  I definitely wouldn't mind playing around with some of these concepts for a succubus H-game.

A lizard girl's best attempt to look human (while fucking your brains out)

Now for the all-important H-content.  I found 8 separate monster girls and 2 'squeezing' monsters (non-human monster monsters that have sex attacks).  Going back to that idiosyncratic word again, Shrift 2 is very idiosyncratic with the monster designs.  Maybe more so than games like Monmusu Quest, where the monster girls nearly always had recognisably human faces and tits no matter how weird and monstrous the rest of them was.  Shrift 2 has a broad range, probably too broad for most people.  As with the first game, I found the monsters to be a mix of ones I really liked and hit the spot, and others I noped away from as fast as possible.  There's a bit of furry in there.  Scaly too.  And whatever the moth girl counts as.  As long as you find a couple you like, they have such a range of H-scenes you'll probably find enough content to make the game enjoyable even if you find some of the others boner killers.

(Personally, I really liked the shadow girl and siren.)

The last fight with the siren also deserves special mention.  Up until then the fights are mostly typical HRPG battles.  The siren fight brings in more Undertale-style elements with mini-game segments where the player's soul has to dodge hearts thrown at it.  Very creative and well-implemented and I hope we see more like that in future instalments.

Right from the h... humongous boobs

The game also has compatibility support for a sex toy (Vorze A10 Piston SA, I think), where it will 'squeeze' you in time to the on-screen action.  I can't comment on that as I don't own that particular toy, but it sounds a fun idea.

(No Hydra, do not entertain ideas of letting one of your succubi have access to that.)

Overall, if you can handle the various idiosyncrasies, it's worth a look.

I'll post a rough guide on how to play sometime next week if there's interest.

Public Demo Version of "House of Hellish Harlots" Updated to v0.035

It's been a slightly busy and chaotic October.  I wasn't going to write a story for Literotica's Halloween contest, then I was, which I didn't finish in time for the deadline, but did finish and post for Halloween anyway.

I also found time to get a new "House of Hellish Harlots" release out.  This is v0.037 and adds 1 new harlot - the blue-skinned suckerboob, Ch'oojrana.  That is currently only available on Patreon or SubscribeStar.

However, it also means an update to the public website version of "House of Hellish Harlots" (which can be visited here).

That has been updated to v0.035.  Two new harlots went out with that release:

Pavitra Titalee

She's an unusual butterfly girl. Don't pay too much attention to her "only take what is freely given" talk. She's Tier 3, which means she's probably going to kill you. A lot.

Epicratea (The Ebony Succubus)

Epicratea is one of my existing characters from a previous short story ("Oil Wrestling a Succubus"). Her speciality is femdom oil wrestling, so expect her to try out a few 'special' holds on you.

I hope you enjoy 'playing' with them.

And if you enjoy this project, please consider supporting me on Patreon or SubscribeStar.  We're up to 60 sexy monster girl harlots now and I'm hoping to push the number of playable rounds up to 9 very soon.

New Story - "In The Red Light Backrooms"

And the new story is up.  Literotica were quicker to approve it than I was expecting, which is great as it's in perfect time for Halloween weekend.  Here it is:

In The Red Light Backrooms

I was aiming for more conventional spooks and scares, so the dial of Erotic Horror is turned more towards the Horror/Weird end.  There is a nice succubus sex scene, so I didn't leave the erotica off entirely.  The story is inspired by the Backrooms stuff, but only the basic idea.  It's not intended to use, adapt or extend any of the existing lore.  If somebody wants to take the idea and run with it further, feel free (just age gate it appropriately!).

I hope you enjoy it.
Happy Halloween!

New Short Story on the way - "In The Red Light Backrooms"

I have been working on a new short story for Halloween.  It was originally intended for Literotica's Halloween contest, but it ended up being a little longer than I anticipated (over 10K words) and I couldn't finish it in time.  It is finished now.

It's set in Amsterdam's red light district and influenced by the Backrooms stuff.  By influenced, I mean the first principles concept of someone clipping out of reality and being trapped in a weird place.  The Backrooms itself seems to be one of those big shared internet lore things (like the SCP foundation) and I know very little about it other than the general idea and some youtube short films.  It seemed a cool concept, and fired up the inspiration for this little tale.

Here's a teaser:

Damien Kane and Chris Abbott noclipped out of reality on an otherwise unremarkable summer morning at precisely 11:01.  The where from was a corner of De Walletjes, more infamously known as Amsterdam's main red-light district.  Damien and Chris were there—and let's not beat about the bush—to get laid.

As for the where to...

The corridor of doors stretched off into the distance before turning to the left.  Around that corner would be another long corridor of doors leading to another left turn.  Sometimes it would turn to the right.  Sometimes—more rarely—it would end in a T-junction.  It never opened back out onto the street outside.  If there was even an outside.

The corridor was narrow and claustrophobic, with a low ceiling.  The floor was covered in thick linoleum—mushy and slightly tacky.  The air carried the tang of stale sweat, cheap perfumes, and—beneath it all—a hint of something far less pleasant.  It called to mind sordid and illicit pleasures.  Illumination came from fluorescent tubes above the doors.  They washed everything in a wan glow—sometimes red, sometimes pink.

If the lights dimmed, you ran.

If the lights flickered, you ran fast.

Each door had a large glass window.  For most of them a red velvet curtain was pulled across to hide the room on the other side.  For some that curtain was pulled back to reveal a feminine figure dressed only in lingerie.  Always attractive.  Always sexy.  Never human.

Damien remembered the words of the Irishman.

"You have to pick a door, but it has to be the right door."

How do you know if it's the right door?

"Do you think I'd still be here if I knew that!"

Damien hadn't seen the Irishman in some time.  Maybe he'd found the right door.  More likely he'd walked through the wrong door and never returned.

Damien heard a wet snuffling phlegmy sound.  Far off behind him... for now.

Time to move on.

The story is finished.  I've submitted it to Literotica and it will probably appear there in a few days (usually about 3)

If you don't want to wait, I've already posted the completed story to Patreon and SubscribeStar.  Subscription to either is for the low low price of $1 per month and you'll also get a new "House of Hellish Harlots" update at the end of every month as well (two months before it goes live on the public website).

Art of Sapoonismenee Nerei (from House of Hellish Harlots)

Here is the second piece of art I had commissioned.

This is the soapy nereid, Sapoonismenee Nerei.  She is another of the harlots that can be found in "The House of Hellish Harlots".  Her speciality is soapy massages, but handle her with care!

The public demo is still text-only, but you can play it here.  Sapoonis was the first harlot added.  There have been a lot more since then (nearly 60!) and it's turned into a slightly more complex project than I originally intended.

The artist is again Marwmellow.  You can find more of their work here.

The money for the commission came out of my Patreon subs.  If you'd like to see more, or just want to support my writing in general, you can support me on Patreon.  And now also on SubscribeStar.

Art of Sorpresa Ombra (from House of Hellish Harlots)

Let's start the first week of October with something nice.

This is Sorpresa Ombra.  She's one of the harlots that can be found within the "House of Hellish Harlots" (the public demo of which can be played here).  She specialises in smothering men between those lovely big boobs of hers.

The artist is marwmellow and you can find other examples of their work here.

After seeing how Queen Colubridis turned out, I ran a poll for patrons to pick the next harlot to have art created for and Sorpresa was the winner of that.  She turned out really nice, I think.  Sinuously seductive.

Public Demo Version of "House of Hellish Harlots" Updated to v0.034

In a nice problem for a content creator to have, I have a couple of new(ish) things coming out at the same time.

First up, the last of my old collections, "A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day", is back up and available to buy as an ebook.  Check the previous post for more details on that.

Because it's a new month, we also have the regular upgrade to the "House of Hellish Harlots" interactive fiction project.  The public website version has been updated to v0.034.  This adds two new harlots:

Huntress Levka (and her 'hounds' Minyette and Zhopa)
This is Huntress 2.  When creating the 'wrestling' faction, I had the idea for a trio of huntress scenarios similar to the 3 Pels of the artificial being faction.  Like Diana, Levka wants you to 'fight' her hounds.  Unlike Diana, she has two of them.

The two 'hounds', Minyette and Zhopa, are primitive lust daemons (but still clearly sapient despite being used as 'hunting hounds').  I took a little inspiration from GW's Slaanesh demons for their design, but made them a little less spiky and also more explicit in what they can do.

Levka was originally a big muscular oni, but trying to write her with Russian 'hulkspeak' just didn't work at all.  I think the huntress lore I created with Diana seems to have been well-received, so it made more sense to make Levka a slightly wilder member of the same hunting manor.

Huntress Levka is intended as a Tier 2 harlot, but towards the bottom end in difficulty (round 6 or 7).

L'iaculatia
This is the dodgeball arachne.  Her scenario takes some ideas from the old "Escape the Arachne" CYOA, but is completely rewritten and with a different character.

She references quite a few stats, but it's mostly behind scenes.  She will probably be a Tier 1 harlot, but is borderline between Tier 1 & 2.  She has a few stat checks, but there are multiple ways to make them easier.

L'iaculatia was another weird one to type up.  On my side it looks like a ton of variations, but as the tests are done behind scenes, the player will mostly be reading and pressing continue.  I'm still iffy on this as a design philosophy.  It made sense for the early design, but the scenarios were intended to be a lot shorter.

You can play the public demo version here at
https://houseofhellishharlots.com/

Patrons are two releases ahead.  I gave them v0.036 at the end of the month.  This only adds one new harlot, Succuba, but she's a very versatile succubus with 10 different sex scenes.  I wouldn't say she's 10-harlots-in-1 as her scenes are deliberately quite short, but at 9,000 words she's one of the longer harlot scenarios.

You can find the Patreon release here.

I also know some people won't or can't use Patreon, so I've also opened up an alternative subscription source at SubscribeStar.  This will receive the same updates and releases as Patreon.  The only exception is the polls, as I don't currently have enough subscribers to justify it (and will change the moment I get enough subscribers to justify it).

You can find the SubscribeStar release here.

And because this weekend isn't busy enough, I've also had some commissioned artwork come back.  Because I don't want things getting lost in a flurry of posts, I'll be showing that off next week.

I hope you enjoy the new HoHH release!

"A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day" is out!

It's (re)publication day!

My 6th collection of erotic horror short stories, A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day and other tales of Sinister Sirens, is back up and available to buy as an ebook.  You can find it at these ebook retailers:

(And to show I'm getting better with practise, I managed to get the ebook out on all of them on the right day!)

Here's the usual blurb:

Who is the lucky one – the man given sensual pleasure beyond his dreams, or the succubus that ensnares and drains him?

Dangerous and delectable sirens abound in M. E. Hydra’s sixth collection of horror erotica.  Within these pages you’ll find thirteen tales that will tempt, tease, titillate and terrify.  Read and enjoy as dark temptresses weave their seductive webs and draw in their (un)fortunate prey.

In “A Succubus for Saint Patrick’s Day” a down-on-his-luck gambler thinks his fortune has changed when a magical succubus comes to his aid.  A strange agency provides an unusual service in “The High-School Sweetheart Removal Agency”.  A researcher has a dangerous and highly sensual encounter with an alien creature in “A Real-Life Goo Girl”.  In “Number 66” an expat searches for an unusual girl in the fleshpots of Bangkok.  An accomplished thief falls prey to a shadowy guardian in “Rogue vs Lamia”.  A rich man gets the bigger dick he’s always wanted in “Crabs”, only to discover the treatment has some alarming side effects.  And finally, a young man gets a surprise when he tries to rape the wrong victim in “Joe Boyega Picks a Bad Night to Become a Rapist”.

They'll give you pleasures beyond your wildest dreams, and terrors beyond your darkest nightmares...

This is the last of the ebooks that needed republishing after my previous publisher closed at the end of last year.  As with the others, I've given it a new cover and added an afterword that gives a behind-scenes look at how the stories were written.

Some of the stories (in slightly rougher form) can already be found online on places like Literotica.  To make the collections worth buying, I always add some stories that can't be found anywhere else.  This includes the eponymous story "A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day", where the nameless succubus from the succubus tablet is sowing chaos again. "A Special Tube of Lube" is a new story with Eryx and Eunectes and calls back to their first appearance as they return to collect a debt. I try again to write pulp fantasy with "Rogue vs Lamia".  "Crabs" has appeared in another anthology, but you can enjoy it in all its nastiness here.  There's also the obligatory Nicole story (with a title that got me in trouble at Kobo), plus a couple of other original stories (one of which with a title that is clearly too long, but also throws some hints as to what the witch Annette Brite is up to with her succubi).

This is the 6th and last of my old collections.  All of my books are now back on sale.  The next time I make one of these posts it will be for a brand new collection.  The 7th collection is currently in progress and hopefully I'll be able to unveil that soon.

In the meantime, A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day is (back) out today and I hope you enjoy reading it!

"A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day" is up for pre-order

(Kobo is slightly delayed.  I think one of their Millennial interns saw one of the story titles and had a fit of the vapours.  Currently trying to get that fixed.)

Here's the usual blurb:

This the last of the ebooks needing republishing.  As with the others it has a new cover and afterword.  While some of the stories are up on Literotica, these are the finalised versions and as with the others, there are plenty of stories that can only be found in this collection (such as the eponymous "A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day")

Official release date is Sep 30th.  I hope you all enjoy reading it.

"A Succubus for Remembrance" is out!

It's another publication day!

My 5th collection of erotic horror short stories, A Succubus for Remembrance and other tales of Femme Fatales, is back up as an ebook.

You can pick it up from these ebook retailers.

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Succubus-Remembrance-other-tales-Fatales-ebook/dp/B0BCDT1BB6

Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/a-succubus-for-remembrance-1

Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-succubus-for-remembrance-me-hydra/1142100379

Apple: https://books.apple.com/gb/book/a-succubus-for-remembrance/id6443337953

And the usual blurb:

Think paranormal erotica is only about sparkly vampires and fluffy werewolves?  Think again!  You’re about to enter the bizarre and twisted universe of M. E. Hydra.  His sexy succubi and other assorted femme fatales will give you a wild ride, but be careful they don’t eat you whole in the process.

This, his fifth collection, contains thirteen tales of darkest erotica.  A terrifying succubus wreaks vengeance on a group of former soldiers in “A Succubus for Remembrance”.  A man is sent by his therapist to an unusual nudist camp in “Iron Girders and Steel Springs”.  Two lovers look to a magical artefact to solve their problems in “The Skinning Knife”.  A sinister mobster engages sexy diabolic help to demonstrate “Ways to Break a Good Man, #1” (and no.2 and 3).  Bizarre and imaginative sex demons abound in a triptych of tales set in the hell-space universe.  Also includes an extra bonus tale, “Nazi vs Succubus,” for lovers of extreme, no-holds-barred fiction.

You will be surprised, shocked and aroused by these and other tales of fiendish femme fatales.  They'll give you pleasures beyond your wildest dreams, and terrors beyond your darkest nightmares...

This is the 5th of 6 collections I'm currently republishing after my previous publisher closed down last year.  To mark the occasion I've redone the covers and added an afterword with additional commentary on the stories.  If you already have the original, you probably don't need this, but I'm not going to say no to the extra royalties if someone wants to pick them up to support my writing.

Some of these stories are up on places like Literotica.  The versions in the ebook can be considered final(ish) edits.  As always there are some stories that don't show up anywhere else.  "A Succubus for Remembrance" is a slightly different take on the usual succubus tablet story.  "The Skinning Knife" originally showed up in one of Excessica's anthology and is a different type of horror story to my usual work.  "Hugh the Hero" closes out a triptych of hell-space stories.  "Slugjob" is... I have no idea what I was thinking there.  There are also two more "Ways to Break a Good Man" stories, although they're not connected apart from the title similarities.  Lastly, there's "Nazi vs Succubus".

I don't normally do the warning thing, but "Nazi vs Succubus" is pretty 'no-holds-barred' even for me.  If you read my stories mainly for the erotica content rather than the horror, I'd skip that one.

It's out now.  If you haven't already, I hope you enjoy 13 more tales of sexy succubi and monster girls.

Many-Eyed Hydra is on SubscribeStar!

I hope.

I think I've set it up okay, but there's always a chance I might have boomered something up.

I've been meaning to do this for a while and finally got around to it.  I know some people would like to support me, but have either ethical or technical problems with Patreon.  Given that Patreon has deplatformed people in the past with minimal warning, I felt it was also important to have a backup just in case their Trust & Safety Team decides to get Orwellian again.

I'm not sure how it will work out.  I'd like to give it a couple of months to see what they're like in terms of ease of payouts, etc.  If you're already on Patreon, don't jump across just yet.  If you're not but would like to support me (and receive early looks at new stories and game releases), I hope SubscribeStar meets your needs.

Currently, I've just added the latest "House of Hellish Harlots" release (v0.035).

Going forward I'm just going to be mirroring posts so both Patreon and SubscribeStar get the same posts and attachments.  You won't need to subscribe to both.

(I have no idea how I'm going to manage polls across the two sites.  Combine the numbers?)

Anyway, it's another funding option, and diversifying income sources seems pretty important nowadays.

Here's my SubscribeStar page:

Let me know if there are any obvious screwups.

Public Demo Version of "House of Hellish Harlots" Updated to v0.033

This is a short update that just adds the one new harlot - Kiki Sumoppai.  Unfortunately that month coincided with the battles with Amazon KDP's Content Review Team to get my short story collections republished, so I wasn't as free to devote as much time to HoHH as I'd have liked.

Here are some details on the new harlot:

Kiki Sumoppai
Known rather unflattering as 'Gas Balloon Tits Wrestler' until I gave her a proper name, she's a big-titted bimbo succubus that specialises in erotic 'wrestling'.  Wrestling gets the scare quotes for reasons you'll understand when you play her scenario.

She's intended as a Tier 3 harlot in terms of difficulty, which means she's very hard to survive.  You'll need some outside help to return from her room.

The public version of "House of Hellish Harlots" can be played here:

Patreon is now two versions ahead at v0.035.  After all the problems with Amazon, I tried to make up for it with a very busy August.  That resulted in a v0.034 release containing the two harlots I couldn't finish in time for the end of July release (Huntress Levka and the arachne L'iaculatia).  I was also able to get two more harlots added in time for an end of August release (butterfly girl Pavitra Titalee and another erotic wrestler readers might remember from one of my short stories - Epicratea, the Ebony Succubus).

I'll be maintaining a two month gap between the public and Patreon releases from now on.  Living costs are going up and creator needs to pay his bills.

If you want the latest version and wish to support the project, you can find it here on my patreon.  All support gratefully received!

Whew.  That's been a busy couple of days.  I think I've even caught up on comments as well.

I hope you enjoy playing with all the lovely harlots HoHH has to offer.

(try not to die a horrible death.)

"A Succubus for Remembrance" is available to pre-order

Continuing the republication of my old short story collections, the 5th - A Succubus for Remembrance and other tales of Femme Fatales - is now available to pre-order.  You can find it at these online booksellers.

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BCDT1BB6
Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/a-succubus-for-remembrance-1
Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-succubus-for-remembrance-me-hydra/1142100379

The obligatory blurb:

Think paranormal erotica is only about sparkly vampires and fluffy werewolves?  Think again!  You’re about to enter the bizarre and twisted universe of M. E. Hydra.  His sexy succubi and other assorted femme fatales will give you a wild ride, but be careful they don’t eat you whole in the process.

This, his fifth collection, contains thirteen tales of darkest erotica.  A terrifying succubus wreaks vengeance on a group of former soldiers in “A Succubus for Remembrance”.  A man is sent by his therapist to an unusual nudist camp in “Iron Girders and Steel Springs”.  Two lovers look to a magical artefact to solve their problems in “The Skinning Knife”.  A sinister mobster engages sexy diabolic help to demonstrate “Ways to Break a Good Man, #1” (and no.2 and 3).  Bizarre and imaginative sex demons abound in a triptych of tales set in the hell-space universe.  Also includes an extra bonus tale, “Nazi vs Succubus,” for lovers of extreme, no-holds-barred fiction.

You will be surprised, shocked and aroused by these and other tales of fiendish femme fatales.  They'll give you pleasures beyond your wildest dreams, and terrors beyond your darkest nightmares...

As you might have seen from all the recent posts, I'm republishing all my old short story collections with new covers and an afterword giving some insight on how the stories came to be written.

While most of them can be found up on Literotica, these are the finalised versions (after a thorough edit).  There are also some stories that can only be found in this collection such as the eponymous "A Succubus for Remembrance" and the (probably) too-extreme-for-Literotica "Nazi vs Succubus".

The official release date is Sep 9th. 

"A Succubus for Freedom" is out!

It's publication day!  (Ok, second publication day.)

My 4th collection of erotic horror short stories, A Succubus for Freedom and other tales of Obscene Orgies, is now available as an ebook.

You can pick it up at these ebook retailers.

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B9ZW3LJJ

Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/a-succubus-for-freedom

Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-succubus-for-freedom-m-hydra/1112798196

Apple: https://books.apple.com/gb/book/a-succubus-for-freedom/id6443281359

Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/211054

Here is the obligatory blurb:

You can’t escape...  You won’t want to escape...

Succubi and other monstrous femme fatales abound in M. E. Hydra’s fourth collection of wild, warped and wickedly dark erotica.  Lie back and enjoy as alluring sirens ensnare helpless prey in thirteen weird tales of sex and horror.

A drummer’s plans to separate his mother from her boring partner go horribly awry when he asks “A Succubus for Freedom”.  An arrogant massage parlour reviewer is taught a lesson by a creature of myth in “Naga Massage Review”.  In “Come on the Candle” a student upset over a recent breakup summons a succubus during an arcane rite of cleansing.  A young man discovers “What Bad Boys Get For Christmas” after he is abducted by some extremely naughty elves.  “Riding the Medusa” details an unorthodox and risky form of recreation for bored soldiers stationed in an adjacent dimension.  And finally, a shy man in his thirties finds his virginity and more under threat after he’s “Locked in with a Succubus”.

You will be surprised, shocked and aroused by these and other tales of dark temptresses.  They'll give you pleasures beyond your wildest dreams, and terrors beyond your darkest nightmares...

As you might have figured out by the amount of posts over the last couple of months, my original publisher, Excessica, closed down, so I'm self-publishing all my old books under my own account.  To mark the occasion I've redone the covers and added new afterwords with some inside insight on the stories.  If you already have the original, you probably don't need this, but I'm not going to say no to the extra royalties if someone wants to pick them up to support my writing.

Some of these stories are up on places like Literotica.  The versions in the ebook can be considered the final(ish) edits.  There are also a number of stories that do not appear anywhere else.  The succubus tablet shows up again in "A Succubus for Freedom".  I try to emulate Robert E. Howard with "Barbarian vs Succubus".  Annette Brite is up to her usual tricks in "Come on the Candle".  And there are a pair of H-space stories - "Onychophoral Dreams" and "Riding the Medusa".

It's out now and I hope you all have fun reading these sexy (and weird!) tales.

"A Succubus for Freedom" is available to pre-order

Less problems at Amazon this time, so I'm actually able to promote an upcoming book in a more organised fashion.  My 4th short story collection, A Succubus for Freedom and other tales of Obscene Orgies is coming back as an ebook.  It's available to pre-order at various places.

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B9ZW3LJJ

As you've probably figured out, I am in the process of republishing my old short story collections with new covers and an afterword offering some behind-scenes information on the stories.

While most of the stories can be found in some form up on Literotica, these are the finalised versions (after a good edit) and some stories, like the eponymous "A Succubus for Freedom", can only be found in this collection.

The official (re)publication date is Friday next week (26th Aug).  I hope people have fun reading the collection then!

"A Succubus for Halloween" is out!

It's publication day! (Or rather, second publication day).

My 3rd erotic horror short story collection, A Succubus for Halloween and other tales of Terrifying Temptresses, is now available as an ebook.

You can pick it up here:

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Succubus-Halloween-other-Terrifying-Temptresses-ebook/dp/B0B8XNZGN9

Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/a-succubus-for-halloween-2

Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-succubus-for-halloween-m-e-hydra/1104316352

Apple: https://books.apple.com/gb/book/a-succubus-for-halloween/id6443244356

Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/98067

Here's the obligatory blurb:

Tempting, wanton, enticing, gorgeous... lethal.

Halloween is a time for chills and thrills.  A time for femme fatales to sharpen their claws and take to the night in search of fresh prey.  Cuddle up in front of an open fire as M. E. Hydra brings you a delectable dirty dozen tales of ravishing succubi and other sensual predators.

A man uses a succubus as instrument of revenge in “A Succubus for Halloween”.  An unusual treatment for claustrophobia is prescribed in “Naga Special Massage”.  In “The Pearls of the Mediterranean” a group of holidaying lads discover an exotic nudist beach with a secret.  Things get wet and slippery while “Oil Wrestling a Succubus”.  Against a backdrop of demonic invasion, a soldier is subjected to the fleshy pleasures of “Capramendes, the Milkmaid”.  And finally, a doctor finds a sexy supernatural companion for “A Halloween Party with a Succubus”.

Sit back and enjoy these and other tales of weird, wanton and wicked temptresses.  They’ll give you pleasures beyond your wildest dreams, and terrors beyond your darkest nightmares...

This is a republication of the title I had out through Excessica.  Sadly, Excessica is no more, so I'm putting the old books back up under my own author account.  To mark the occasion I've redone the cover and added an afterword with some commentary on the stories.  If you have the original you probably don't need to get this, but I'm not going to turn down the extra royalties if someone wants to pick it up to help me out.

Because I get questions asking if these are just the same stories that are up on Literotica.  Some are originally from there, but the collections also contain stories that are exclusive to them and can't be found anywhere else.  There are 5 exclusives in this one.  "Oil Wrestling a Succubus" features some sexy femdom oil wrestling and links a couple of plotlines to my mobster character, Koontz (You'll also see the succubus from this in HoHH soon, hopefully).  "Serving the Earth Mother" is quite possibly one of the grosser stories I've written (and probably wouldn't be allowed up on Literotica!).  Of most interest will likely be the Nicole story, "A Halloween Party with a Succubus".

Anyway, it's out and I hope you all have fun reading it! 

"A Succubus for Halloween" is available for pre-order

I'm still having a few problems at Amazon, but gradually powering through them.  My 3rd short story collection, A Succubus for Halloween and other tales of Terrifying Temptresses is now available for pre-order at various places:

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B8XNZGN9
Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/a-succubus-for-halloween-2
Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-succubus-for-halloween-m-e-hydra/1104316352

This is another republication.  With my previous publisher Excessica closing, I'm self-publishing all of my old books through my personal author account.  To mark the republication I've added a new cover and an afterword with some behind-scenes commentary on the stories.

While a lot of the stories originally showed up on Literotica and other places, there are some stories that can only be found in this collection, including the very nice Nicole story, "A Halloween Party with a Succubus".

As before, if you already have the old collection, you probably don't need to pick up the newer version, but I'm certainly not going to say no if you wish to buy it to support my future writing!  I'd appreciate reviews if people can give them, but this is erotica (and fairly weird erotica at that!), so fully understand people wanting to remain anonymous with their purchases.

The official (re)publication date is this Friday (12th Aug).  I hope people have fun reading the collection then!

Public Demo Version of "House of Hellish Harlots" Updated to v0.032

After taking a month off to handle the editing and preparation of my old short story collections, it's back to adding new material to the "House of Hellish Harlots" project.

The public demo is now updated to v0.032.  This adds 3 new harlots:

Atómica, La Bomba de Amor

This is the 'lovebomb' succubus.  She's from the erotic wrestling faction and the 'lovebomb' is her sexy finisher.

Nef 0-CWMWL

Nef is the 'gas sex doll' artificial being.  She's kind of a living sex doll filled with aphrodisiac gases that can release those gases outside of her.  A few people mentioned the "Ways to Break a Good Man" short story which featured a succubus-possessed sex doll.  Nef's scenario is a little different to that, with more emphasis on her gases.  (In keeping with the artificial beings, she also has a fairly nasty horror end you'll want to avoid.)

Pêl-Z Perffeithio

Pêl-Z is another artificial being and the 3rd of the 'Pêl' harlots.  She's the 'perfected' version, which means she's a lot more agreeable than the other two.  I've been looking for opportunities to create little clusters of similar harlots to give their groups more cohesion (I'm planning to have 3 'huntress' harlots in the last faction for this reason).

The public version can be played here:

https://houseofhellishharlots.com/

As usual, the public version is a month behind the Patreon release.  Because of the issues with Amazon, I was only able to finish one new harlot rather than the 3 I initially intended.  Her name is Kiki Sumoppai and you'll have fun getting squashed beneath her enormous tits.  Patreon is being a bit funny about uploading raw .html files at the moment, so you'll need to unzip it from an archive if you grab the latest version (which can be found here).

I'm a little behind in responding to comments.  I'll try to catch up tomorrow or Wednesday.

A Succubus for Valentine's Day is out! (sort of)

 My 2nd collection, "A Succubus for Valentine's Day and other tales of Perilous Pleasures" is now out (sort of).

Here is the obligatory blurb:

Alluring, exotic, delectable, sexy... dangerous.

M. E. Hydra returns with a second collection of thirteen sizzling stories featuring seductive succubi, amorous aliens and other sexy femme fatales.

“A Succubus for Valentine’s Day” shows the perils of letting a succubus play cupid.  Two tourists discover a dark secret lurking in Amsterdam’s red light district in “Venus of the Red Lights”.  In “Knight vs Succubus”, a knight battles for his life and soul against a cunning and seductive demon.  A man finds out his pleasure planet of blue-skinned alien babes is not as it seems in “The Spiders of Thomisoidus”.  And finally, a young man has a very special date in “A Summer Dance with a Succubus”.

You will be enthralled, aroused, and terrified in equal measure by these and other tales of wicked, sensual predators.  They’ll give you pleasures beyond your wildest dreams, and terrors beyond your darkest nightmares...

This is my second collection of short stories, first published in 2011 through Excessica. I've republished it with a new cover and afterword (and a thorough editing pass to fix anything I missed the first time around). 

You can find it at

Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/a-succubus-for-valentine-s-day

Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-succubus-for-valentines-day-me-hydra/1141813683?ean=2940166601001

Apple Books: https://books.apple.com/gb/book/a-succubus-for-valentines-day/id6443171589

It should also have updated at Smashwords, but check the preview first to make sure you're getting the updated version (the copyright page should mention cover art by Wombo AI and a 2nd edition date of 2022, which should indicate it's the correct version):
https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/41826

I also uploaded it to Google Play this morning, so it should go live there in a couple of days.  Check my author page:
https://play.google.com/store/books/author?id=M.E.+Hydra

Where it isn't currently available, sadly, is Amazon.  I'm working on it and hopefully will have it available at some point, but I'm having to deal with staggering levels of incompetency from Amazon KDP's support department.  I'll put up a post describing my 'experiences' in full grisly details in a few days.  Kafka-esque nightmare doesn't even begin to cover it.

UPDATE: The problems at Amazon appear to have been resolved.  You can now find it there as well:

Problem with publishing rights for "A Succubus for Valentine's Day" on Amazon

About this time I was expecting to start promotion for "A Succubus for Valentine's Day" and giving you the link to pre-order it.  In fact, on some other ebook sites, eg Kobo, it is available for pre-order:
https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/a-succubus-for-valentine-s-day

But not currently on Amazon.  This is where it gets complicated.

I finished preparing the manuscript and uploaded it to the regular ebook sites last Sunday, setting an official release date of the 29th.  Amazon came back to me with an email warning of possible rights infringement.  I wasn't too fussed about this.  The same thing happened while I was republishing "A Succubus for Christmas".  Thankfully, Selina Kitt, the owner of my previous publisher, Excessica, was ahead of the game, and so when Excessica closed its doors at the end of 2021, she sent out letters to all authors officially reverting their rights back to them.  I replied to Amazon attaching that letter and "A Succubus for Christmas" was available for pre-order the next day.

I figured it would be the same here.  Except nothing happened.

I waited a week and then gave them a prod, thinking it had just been forgotten and that would jog them into making the book go live for pre-order.

This wasn't the case.  I got a response indicating they hadn't received the necessary documentation... despite me already sending them the relevant documentation.

So, I'm not really sure what's going on here.  It's unfortunately stressful and concerning.  It could be a mix-up that's easily fixed in the next couple of days, but then I thought that last weekend.  The problem with being the little guy dealing with the massive corporation is you can be in the right and it not matter a jot.  If something gets stuck, it gets stuck, and then you're shit out of luck.

I'm going to proceed with the July 29th release date as planned for everywhere else and hope I can resolve whatever is blocking things at Amazon.

It does have me concerned.  Amazon is 90% of sales and I was hoping to put all 6 collections back up as a series.  Amazon are not something I can just route around if they fuck up and don't fix it.

Coming soon... I hope!

A Succubus for Christmas is out!

It's publication day!  Or rather, second publication day.  My 1st collection, "A Succubus for Christmas and other tales of Devilish Delights" is now live on Amazon (and other ebook stores) and ready to buy.  You can find it here:

https://www.amazon.com/Succubus-Christmas-other-Devilish-Delights-ebook/dp/B0B66LRCT4

And the obligatory back cover blurb:

Beautiful, seductive, enthralling, sensual, irresistible... deadly.

The succubus is an enduring icon of myth – a demon that seduces and sleeps with her prey before taking their life and soul.  In this collection M. E. Hydra brings you thirteen erotically charged tales of sexy succubi and other exotic creatures.

In “A Succubus for Christmas” a man discovers his surprise sexy gift also possesses a dark side.  “The Masterton Covenant” asks how much would you risk for one night of perfect pleasure.  Four men are taken to a very special establishment in “Flesh Pitchers of Prague”.  A tough demon slayer discovers why ‘men can’t fight them’ in “Slayer vs. Succubus”.  A man is drawn into a deadly yet delectable web by a sexy spider woman in “Arachne’s Web”.

You will be enthralled, aroused, and terrified in equal measure by these and other tales of dark, seductive beauties.  They’ll give you pleasures beyond your wildest dreams, and terrors beyond your darkest nightmares...

This is a republication of my 2010 short story collection.  My previous publisher, Excessica, has sadly closed their doors, so I'm republishing my old books under my author account.  To mark the republication I've added a new cover and an afterword detailing where the stories first appeared and the inspiration behind them.

The others will follow over the next few weeks.  I'm also hoping I'll kick my lazy ass in shape and get that brand new 7th collection finished before the end of year as well (or at least early next year).

A Succubus for Christmas is available for pre-order

A Succubus for Christmas and other tales of Devilish Delights is now available for pre-order on Amazon.  You can find it here.

These are mostly my early stories before I started to tie them together into a shared universe.  One of them, "Arachne's Web", can only be found in this collection and might arguably be the best one in there.

If you already have the old collection, you probably don't need to pick up the newer version, but I'm certainly not going to say no if you wish to buy it to support my future writing!  I'd appreciate reviews if people can give them, but this is erotica (and fairly weird erotica at that!), so fully understand people wanting to remain anonymous with their purchases.

The ebook is scheduled to go live on Friday (15th), but is available for pre-order now.  I'm not normally the best at self-promotion, so I'm trying to give a little more pre-warning than usual.  A spike of sales is usually good for pushing a book up the ranks and helping more readers to discover it.

More importantly, I hope you all have fun reading it!

No "House of Hellish Harlots" Update This Month

As title.  I spent June working on getting my old ebook collections ready for re-publication.

I did write a few more harlot 1st drafts, so patrons will be getting a choice of which ones to add first in a few days.

The first collection, "A Succubus for Christmas" should be back up in a couple of weeks.  I'll start hyping that up as soon as I've uploaded it to Amazon.

July should be back to normal with a new "House of Hellish Harlots" update at the end of it.

Art of Queen Colubridis (from House of Hellish Harlots)

Continuing the theme of art of harlots, here's Queen Colubridis in all her gluttonous glory.

This commission was mine.  After seeing how the first Khanara Anandanum came out for Mark45.  I looked at Marwmellow's DeviantArt page, saw a lot of lovely lamias, and reckoned they'd be perfect for drawing Queen Colubridis.

Queen Colubridis is another one of the harlots from my erotic horror interactive fiction game "The House of Hellish Harlots".  In it, you the player have to try and survive the night in a brothel filled with hungry succubi and other monster girls.  It's still a work in progress and has morphed into a slightly more ambitious project than I originally thought.  There are over 50 harlots to interact with.  You can check it out here.

The money for the commission was raised through my Patreon.  If you'd like to support the creation of more works like this, please consider subscribing.  This month I'll be looking into other alternatives to Patreon as well.  I know some people refuse to use Patreon for ideological reasons (which I fully understand).

More Art of Khanara Anandanum (from House of Hellish Harlots)

Mark45 has shared with me the 2nd piece of art of Khanara Anandanum he had commissioned from Marwmellow and has kindly given me permission to post it here.

This time we get to see her with her dress off.  She might look a little strange, but once she's wrapped around you, you won't care...

Khanara is one of the (more unusual) monster girl/succubus harlots from my erotic horror interactive fiction game "The House of Hellish Harlots".  While the project is still a work in progress, there are over 50 harlots to 'play' with.  You can check it out here and support the project (and me!) on my patreon here.

Public Demo Version of "House of Hellish Harlots" Updated to v0.031

It's a couple of days late as one of the new harlots I was working on took a little longer than anticipated.

The public demo has been updated to version 0.031.  This adds 3 new harlots to the House:

The Black Latex Milkmaid, Llefrith SWMP-08
She's another one of the Doctoress's elite milking androids.  She specialises in bulk semen extraction and is less enigmatic than the other pair.

Huntress Diana Grosvenor and Khruutka Smucheshta
A posh hunting succubus and her 'hound', the spumpire Khruutka. Diana will have you wrestle Khruutka.  If you win, you can fuck Diana.  If you don't, you'll find out just how powerful the blowjob suck of a spumpire is...

Burbalka
Finally a plant girl for the House.  Rather than the usual ones, I took Bladderwort as inspiration for her.  She's just as predatory as the other types, so don't worry about that!

The public version of House of Hellish Harlots can be played here.

The public version is a month behind the Patreon version.  May was another relatively productive month for me and I added 3 new harlots to the House: Nef 0-CWMWL, Pêl-Z Perffeithio, and Atómica, La Bomba de Amor.  Patrons can get that version here.

I know a few comments have built up on the previous post.  Now that I've got the latest version of HoHH out, I'll catch up on answering them.

Story Inspiration - A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day

And it's onto the last of my collections - the 6th one, "A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day".  This is another of the irregular Q'n'A posts I've been doing.  If you have any questions about stories in this collection or anywhere else, fire away below.

As a reminder, here are the stories from that collection:

1) A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day *
2) The High-School Sweetheart Removal Agency
3) A Special Tube of Lube *
4) A Real-Life Goo Girl
5) Busted Bankster
6) Number 66 *
7) Rogue vs Lamia *
8) The First Time
9) Snared, Sucked and Slurped
10) Pussy-Wrapped
11) The Night Doyle Lowry Saw a Terrible Thing and was Sucked into a Quagmire of Sensual Depravity *
12) Crabs **
13) Joe Boyega Picks a Bad Night to Become a Rapist *

* exclusive to this collection
** also appeared in one of eXcessica's anthologies

This was still from that 'hot' period where I was outputting a lot of conventional short stories.  Unfortunately, after this I got a little distracted with my blog and a few failed novel attempts.  I did create a lot of H-space Bestiary short stories, but those need work to make them publishable (which is a plan I have at some point).

I didn't quite get ahead of the monthly HoHH work.  That's probably going to go right to the end of the month.  I still need to take some time off to get the collections back up.  I think I might use June for that and maybe also see if I can finally get that 7th collection together.

Story Inspiration - A Succubus for Remembrance

Continuing my impromptu Q'n'As about stories in my collections.  We're now at the 5th collection: "A Succubus for Remembrance".

Here's the list of stories from that collection:

1) A Succubus for Remembrance *
2) The Skinning Knife **
3) Vernon the Volunteer *
4) Trent the Traitor
5) Hugh the Hero *
6) Slugjob *
7) Iron Girders and Steel Springs
8) Ways to Break a Good Man #1 *
9) Ways to Break a Good Man no.2
10) Ways to Break a Good Man 3 *
11) Vampiric Boobies
12) Street-Walking with a Succubus
13) Nazi vs Succubus ***

* exclusive to this collection
** also appeared in eXcessica's "Colors" anthology
*** I'm pretty sure if I tried uploading this one to Literotica I'd be banned for life :D  

If you have any questions about the inspiration behind or about anything that happened in these stories (or anything else), ask away below.

This was from a relatively 'hot' period of short story writing, so quite a few exclusives in this collection.  I'm still trying to get these collections back up ASAP, so people that haven't read them before can catch up.  I was hoping to tick away with it alongside working on House of Hellish Harlots, but that hasn't worked out so far.  What I'm planning to do is get the regular monthly release for HoHH ready early, then spend a couple of weeks focused purely on all the nitty-gritty of formatting the manuscripts and uploading the collections to the various ebook sites.

ETA: Blogger seems to be eating comments again.  I don't know why.  I'm getting email notifications of comments, which then don't show up here.  If you're having problems posting, if I get the post through email, I'll repost it and answer the questions.  This is the site doing this.  I don't delete comments unless they're abusive or spam.

Art of Khanara Anandanum (from House of Hellish Harlots)

Here is some nice art of Khanara Anandanum, one of the stranger harlots in the House of Hellish Harlots. She's the slime/slug/lamia monster girl that wraps her lower body around the player and overwhelms them with bliss.  This is a nice teasing pin-up of her upper body.  The dress is billowing, but we can't see what's beneath...

Credit and thanks again to Mark45 for having this commissioned.  He is also responsible for the Pori the Love Sponge piece and the lovely Nurse Honey pieces.  So again, many thanks.  You can find a gallery of the other work he's had commissioned on Eka's Portal here.

The artist this time is Marwmellow.  They have a gallery on DeviantArt here and can be found on twitter @kaputemachine.  I quite like their soft focus, slightly more realistic anime style.

I notice quite a few lovely lamias in that gallery.  I might put in some enquiries and see if I can get a pic of Queen Colubridis commissioned...
