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.
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!
I'm interested in the Spider one. Do lust daemon spiders have a hierarchy and will hate other types. Like say a lust daemon spider that's based on a Huntsman Spider would hate the other spider girl that's based on a Orb Weaver Spider?
ReplyDeleteI don't know on that. Would depend on how I build the lore. Given that spiders are very fine with eating other spiders, I guess lust spider-daemons might not necessarily be kindly disposed to each other. I've created a few different types in the H-space stories and they tend to stick to their own groups.
DeleteMy comment on the lust vampires got eaten...
ReplyDeleteNo worries. If I get an email notification of it, I can normally retrieve it. I'm guessing it's this one:
DeleteIn a previous blog comment, you mentioned that you will have lust vampires in the House just like Acarina, all with their unique ways of drinking blood and im wondering...why?
Why as in why are they in the House and why does the Madam let them in? The vampire girls aren't there for sex and are only after the blood. The scene where you fuck Acarina and she doesn't seem to be into it is really telling.
Maybe you can have the vampire girls want the sex because a few factors:
-Horny humans makes the blood taste good.
-The vampire girls have high sex drives and are nymphomaniacs.
-There could be a sort of "sensual blood goddess" they follow that encourages them to drink blood while having sex.
What do you think? I would love to see some great lore being expanded upon on the lust vampires like you're doing with the Huntress lodge.
People asked for vampire girls. The faction side of things got messy. The factions - as they are designed - need around 12-15 monster girls/succubi that share a theme. I brainstormed out a 'leech' succubus faction and a vampire faction that had a rivalry with each other, but I could only really get to 6-7 good ideas for each and was worried HoHH was already becoming too large to feasibly write in the detail I was writing it. It is designed to be open-ended, so maybe I might add them later.
DeleteThey're a kind of lust daemon, but looked down upon by other succubi because they feed off blood. They can still be sexy about it and some are quite powerful.
If anything, I want to take vamps further than the usual 'look sexy, but it's just a lure to get prey close enough to be fanged in the neck' tropes. My thoughts on this was to treat them as a type of corrupted lust daemon. They drink blood, but through skin-to-skin contact with lips, tits, vagina, etc.
I have some notes and ideas on how a faction like this would work, so even if they don't end up in the House, I will find a use for them somewhere.
So Cerluea is flexible when it comes to the laws of reality? If that's the case, would there be a situation like this happening:
ReplyDeleteMan: I'll blast your damn head off with my pistol if you don't back away monster!
Cerluea: *giggles* What gun, mister?
Man looks down in horror to see that has handgun has instantly been turned into a flesh light.
Can Cerluea so that? Is she capable of pulling a Scarlet Witch?
Not sure on that. I think you have to be very careful with abilities like that otherwise your universe breaks (MCU did a very good job of incorporating the weirder aspects of the Marvel Universe early on, but now seems to be floundering).
DeleteCerulea is pretty powerful, so I don't know. As much as I don't like the trope of "Powers as the story needs them", Cerulea is the sort of character capable of doing that.
Wait, you're going to have a Nyte cameo in the House possibly? That's so fucking awesome dude! What about the other succubi? What would Verde, Rosa, and Cerluea would be doing in the House? This is exciting! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to reference or outright bring in lots of different characters if I can. Unfortunately, HoHH is ballooning in scope at the moment and I need to get that under control to ever have any chance of finishing it.
Delete(It is designed to be open-ending, so even after I "finish" it, I'll still be able to keep adding new harlots if the interest is there.)
I agree with Nurse Honey being immune to physical attacks. Since she can absorb humans by touching them, it makes sense why she could ignore stabbing and cutting attacks and bullets because the attacks would just go right through her.
ReplyDeleteNurse Honey would have the same traits as a slime girl (any monster made out of slime, goo, or liquid will not take damage from getting stabbed, cut, punched, or shot at) add to the fact that she is storing souls to use a batteries to heal humans, Nurse Honey's healing factor should also be pretty high.
Her way of attacking a resisting human would most likely be charming him to stun him, then can get close enough to absorb him.
Can Nurse Honey fight like Ntye Hydra? Or will she rely on pacifying the human and absorbing him instead of ripping him to pieces (like Nyte) or killing him with magical spells (Rosa)?
I see her as slightly different to a slime girl, but she's similar in those regards. She'd suck them inside her - probably binding the stronger ones in latex or charm magic first. Maybe letting the weaker ones struggle ineffectually as she slowly absorbs them.
Delete1) I didn't have a set plan when I wrote SS101. The early idea was for a lot more succubi in the castle with Nyte as the ruler. I raised the other succubi to her level so it was the main 5 + assorted monster girl underlings. It still fits. Rosa and Verde were unsure of Phil's suitability at the time. If he turned out to be unsuitable, they still wanted to play with him for a while. Both Nyte and Cerulea are a little more ruthless in discarding 'unsuitable' warlocks, so Rosa and Verde wanted to have their fun first, before introducing.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned this. Will we ever get to see these possible monster girl underlings besides Verde's plantgirls? Like from Nurse Honey, Nyte, Rosa, & Cerulea?
Like does Nyte have any monstergirl underlings? I remember she seemed to be able to command those shadow monsters that Phil almost fucked in that pit he fell into, in one of your later SS201 chapters.
Also, is Nyte still a sorta ruler among the group in the castle? Or is she more of a first among equals or what?
A few have shown up already. Probably more once it becomes more obvious that Phil's succubi are clearly lying about their power levels.
DeleteThe hierarchies tend to be slightly looser, so it's more "Hey Phil, here's my slime girl friend, have fun!" rather than them being able to directly order minions around.
All 5 are pretty equal. They tend to defer to who is the more knowledgeable on something, or wants it more.
