House of Hellish Harlots v0.037

Happy New Year!

New year, new release.

The public demo version of House of Hellish Harlots has been updated to v0.037.  You can play it here:
https://houseofhellishharlots.com/

I was busy that month writing the "In The Red Light Backrooms" (long) short story, so this is a fairly short update that adds one new harlot to the House.

Ch'oojrana
She is a blue-skinned suckerboob (they originally appeared in a H-space Bestiary short).  Her name describes pretty much what she is and does.  Don't be fooled by her friendly disposition.  How to survive her is fairly cryptic, so expect to be drained to death by her lovely boobs more than once.

Patreon and SubscribeStar are two releases ahead.  I dropped v0.039 on them last night.  After a couple of lean monthly releases I spent more time on HoHH in December.  v0.039 adds 3 new harlots - the black and red artificial being 'symbiotes' Negralima-V and N-Carnizadalama, and the dancing lamia Cerastesia.

Overall 2022 felt pretty good for me writing-wise.  House of Hellish Harlots has turned out to be a much bigger project than originally intended, but I've kind of accepted that and just kept plugging away at it in a reasonably disciplined manner.  It now has 64 harlots in there, and each scenario is about the same length as a regular short story.  That's a lot of sexy succubi and monster girls!

After Excessica closed down, I republished all my old ebooks under my own personal account with new covers.  It was good to get them back up.  I still need to make those available as paperbacks, so hopefully early in 2023.  The same for a 7th collection.  I need to write 4 new stories.  That didn't quite happen at the end of 2022 as I got distracted and wrote "In The Red Light Backrooms" instead.  On the positive side, that means less stories needed for 8th/9th collections, but I would like to get a 7th collection out ASAP.  It has been a while since I've put a new book out.

Anyway, we're now in 2023 and I hope it will be wonderful for everyone!

  1. Hey MEH and Happy New Year! Enjoyed the new update, especially enjoyed the dancing snake girl and the other two harlots! I know, I'm not posting on your Patreon because my card is acting strange. I'll fix it later!

    I just want to say is that I'm so glad that I found you on Monster Girl Unlimited, a monster girl forum that got shut down by KC because one asshole just had to ruin his work. I liked monster girls, but it was you that made me fall in love with succubi.

    The very first succubus that I fell for was Morrigan from Darkstalkers and the funny thing is that she doesn't behave like a normal succubus because she doesn't use sex to feed, she's more like a "combat succubus" that feeds on the opponent's fighting spirit. Of course she's in a fighting game, so no sexy snu-snu. Anyway....

    Succubi aren't really popular monsters, supernatural novels are always swamped with vampires and werewolves, so seeing succubi get done justice is great. The first succubus character that worked was Bo from Lost Girl, but she was too nice, even more nice than Nicole.

    Its been a good time watching your House of Hellish Harlots grow and it is amazing. We aren't even done yet, and it felt like just yesterday you were writing Escape from the slime girl.

    It isn't just the sex, but i love how you are giving the story a good plot. Adding just enough sex and intrigue. You are one of the things that inspired me to write my own novel :)

    It sucks that i can't draw for shit because trust me, I'd be giving you a harlot pic two times a month :D

    I want to write a fanfic based on the House, but I've been waiting for some time. I want to start after you made a few Queen level harlots, did the NPCS like Nurse Honey and the Charm girl, made a scenario for the succubus you meet in the hallway, and maybe after you made a few bar interactions like Verde talking to a succufairy.

    Thank you again man and yes, Najee is in fact my real name and I'm a black dudes that lives in California. So yes, you do have black fans XD

    1. Happy New Year! Glad you enjoyed it. I hope you get those card problems sorted out.

      I didn't realise KC shut down the old MGU. I remember those communities splintering off to different websites over various disagreements. I stopped posting as it became too difficult to work out where people were. Some people also had weird ideas about the MGE universe and I'm not surprised KC got annoyed by it. I think he created it to help him get through some tough times in his life and has a stronger personal attachment as a result.

      The heavy sex aspect keeps succubi out of popular culture. Vamps tend to supplant succubi if you need a tempting femme fatale, and succubi tend to supplant vamps if you have the freedom to show everything.

      Lost Girl had some fun worldbuilding. I thought the main character was a little too action heroine rather than succubus-y. It would be interesting to base a show around a character that purely uses manipulation and seduction to achieve their aims, but would be phenomenally difficult to write (same for succubus horror - I'd rather watch a Jennifer's Body type film where the succubus pulls strings to set everyone against each other rather than just be a generic heart-ripping horror monster).

      I need to get started on the Queens and higher level characters. That should start to give the different factions a stronger identity.

  2. I forgot to add that I already have a name for the story about a group of men from different backgrounds who ended up in the House and must join forces to escape. I already have two characters for the group, a grumpy army soldier guy and a nice happily married man. Im still working on the others.

    Anyway, the story is going to be called: Without Lust.

    1. Go for it! Sounds like it should be fun. I did have plans to include NPCs that are fellow 'trapped' visitors (eg the guys in the car at the start). That fell to the wayside once I realised how much work writing all the individual harlot scenarios was. Maybe I'll look at it again once I get to putting in some side quests.

  3. Thanks dude! Also since you weren't around for the shitstorm, I'll tell ya what happened.

    So people on MGU kept insisting that the world of Monster Girl Encyclopedia was grimdark and wasn't a sugar bowl and KC didn't like it. Its began to create a rift between American fans and Japanese fans. The Americans that saw it as grimdark clashed with the Japanese fans that saw it as wholesome.

    KC saw his world as a happy playground and didn't like how the Americans were thinking that its just as grimdark as Warhammer: 40K.

    The final straw was when one asshole took a monster girl profile (I think it was the Inari/Kitsune), made changes to it, and made the fox woman ugly and sent it to KC as a joke. This of course pissed KC off and demanded his work to be pulled off the site.

    After his content was pulled, MGU pretty much died because most people were mainly there for the MGE content and people fled to other monster girl forum websites.

    Just not to long ago, he tried getting Fanfiction.net to delete any MGE fanfic that depicts his work as dark, his fans even tried to run an Author out of the Fanfiction website because he wrote a story about the Dark Souls Protagonist (Ashen One) being transported to the MGE world and slaying monster girls trying to rape him.

    They dude's story is still up and he hasn't deleted the story because of Fair Use.

    Yeah MEH, it wasn't pretty...

    1. I remember bits of it and thought it was strange. I even wrote the H-space Bestiary stories specifically to give people that wanted it a grimdark alternative to a monster girl world.

      Technically, MGE could be seen as dark if someone is just trying to be a regular faithful family man and keeps getting abducted by horny monster girls, but that would be missing the point. It's supposed to be a fluffy sex fantasy. Bugging KC about it just seems rude.

      On the other hand, KC does sound a little too protective of his babies. If you put characters out there, people are going to put their own spin on it. As long as they don't try to confuse it with the original, that's fine and fun. I don't have a problem with people taking some of my nastier monster girls and making them friendly! :)

  4. It would be pretty rad to see someone write a story version of the House. With the game, its just focusing on the PC's survival, but within a story, you can have multiple men go through different harlots. Like say the family man officer worker starts with Panta and the grumpy ex-marine starts with Succuba.

    It will also showcase a man dying because he made the mistake of relying on the Doctoress potions too much, or being too trusting of the Elegant Lady, or dying to a harlot because the man unfortunately missed the Elegant Lady or the Madam so he could watch out for what the harlot had in store for him.

    I also want to see a scene of a man outright defying the Madam and attempting to leave, like a family man that doesn't want to bang the harlots and then the Hounds show up to give him a final warning. I don't like how the PC just accepts the Madam game and doesn't put up any resistance.

    Or was the Madam projecting an intimidating presence to cow the PC? Did she do that Hydra to the PC if you refused to take the beeper?

    1. There are some storylines I want to work in for other NPCs, but that's looking like a much later addition. If people want to write stories about other characters caught up in the House, I'm all for it.

      When I fleshed out the intro and first walk to the harlot's room, I beefed up the intimidation aura of The Madam. The main character doesn't know exactly what the consequences for defying the Madam is, but he knows they're bad enough he shouldn't do it.

      At some point I might add an option for the player to refuse to co-operate. It'll be a short path that ends up in a Bad/Horror End.

  5. I understand why KC was upset and took down the MGE content, but what I don't like is him going after fanfic writers. People are entitled to write about any thing they want.

    It would be like MEH finding a fanfic that had Nurse Honey as a wholesome loving succubus wife that only eyes for her husband and demanding to take it down because its wasn't canon accurate.

    No one bats an eye that you can have the freakin Doom Slayer have a Pokemon with Ash, or drop Kratos in My Little Pony.

    1. I think the MGE has an additional personal meaning to him. Even then, you gotta accept people will put their own twists on your creations and have to be ok with that.

      (So long as they properly credit the original source and don't try to steal and pass it off as their own.)

  6. When you think about it...the Madam's game is just an elaborate SAW trap. Its entirely up to cunning, wits, and quick thinking to win, not to mention with some self sacrifice thrown in. Its a SAW trap, but with one pleasure instead of pain.

    1. Pretty much. One of the inspirations was the old Fighting Fantasy gamebooks and those were savage little deathtraps. At least the characters get to have a little fun before they go out in this particular 'deathtrap'.

      Delete
  7. There are some grimdark aspects to the MGE setting. There is a religious sect made up of little girl monsters that want to forcefully turn men into Pedos. Do yall know how messed up that is?

    Hydra may be a Horror author, but even I noticed there wasn't any scene in any of his stories where little demonic girls came onto grown men. That or maybe in Japan, they can get away with writing "risky" stuff like that.

    1. The 'erotic' half of erotic horror means I have to be very strict on only 18+ characters in sexual situations. That also extends to otherwise adult demons that happen to look underage such as Cerulea's young girl form and the scarlet imps from H-space.

      Regular horror has slightly more leeway, as long as it's not written specifically to arouse/titillate.

      Those are my personal rules. (It also helps that loli isn't a turn-on for me - I like my succubi more on the busty and milfy side.)

      Japan is a little different. The age of consent is much lower there, I think. The sensibilities are different.

      The loli demon cult idea is an interesting one. It makes sense within the setting. The setting is cute monster girls that don't accept 'no' for an answer. I think you generally have to not think too hard on that to enjoy the MGE. (If you do, then yes, it is a grimdark setting where men are routinely abducted into sexual slavery.)

      I'd probably treat the idea the same as incubi in H-space. Plausibly, it's happening, but I'm only to imply it's happening and not write it in detail. I'd also play the horror aspects to the max, because you could probably write a pretty good horror story with that concept, just not an 'erotic' horror story.

      Delete
  8. A loli deamon cult in the Dominion of Lust would be awesome! You got succubi beefing with vampires and busty succubi beefing with big booty succubi, it would be cool if you had little demonic girls hating them succubi for their well developed bodies.

    I'm also surprised that Nyte and Cerluea doesn't like SAW. You told us Nyte likes Hell Raiser, but what about SAW? What would their three favorite traps would be? The car trap? Reverse bear trap? Cerluea drawings have lots of people getting killed or set in fire, so would she like SAW and Hell Raiser too?

    1. Loli (in appearance) is just a mess to deal with unfortunately. Characters like Rebecca in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners cause controversy even though it's blatantly obvious from how they talk and act they're just short women.

      I sort of have the scarlet imps in H-space in that role. They're mainly there for comic relief - similar to goblins in most fantasy settings. Although they can go 'Goblin Slayer' goblins if I want a darker tone to the story.

      I think I said the Madam of HoHH wouldn't like Saw. Nyte would like Jigsaw (the original one), I think, although she'd probably put him through a trap (survivable) first as she has a 'you have to take what you dish out' philosophy. She'd also suggest working pleasure in so there's a greater swing between nice and nasty. Probably along the lines of having 3 high-class escorts and a bag of coke waiting in the next room after surviving the trap to hammer home the 'live in the moment' message of the film.

      Cerulea is more complex because of what she is. She'd either help out the victim or make the traps even nastier depending on how the mood took her.

      Delete
  9. And by Goblin Slayer goblins, do you mean you'll have the scarlet imps gang bang a human man? Its quite interesting to see the succubi reaction to characters from different stories.

    If I may Hydra, what would Verde, Rosa, Cerluea, and Nyte think about a man that can turn back time when he dies? Think of like that movie with Tom Cruise called Edge of Tomorrow where when he dies in a fight against an alien or he killed himself, he can reverse time and use the knowledge he gained to survive longer.

    Would the succubi not like a human with that power? Would they see it as cheating since he's basically 'save scumming'?

    Replies
    1. Maybe, but it will have to be a patron or collection exclusive. The stories with scarlet imps in them get bounced by literotica even when the imps don't have sex and it's made very clear they aren't children.

      Succubus Prison uses turning back time as a central plot point, if I remember right. Verde and crew would just use it as an opportunity to have more fun with the man (like the succubi in Succubus Prison).

      It's a mechanic I want to try and work into either a game or story. It's a way for someone to experience the Bad End and "survive". Probably something that takes inspiration from Salt & Sanctuary (that has one of the best explanations for the Soulslike respawn-at-bonfire mechanic - a nameless god is continuously resurrecting the player character so that he can eat their soul when they fall into despair).

      Delete
  10. What would they do to a human man if he had that power? Would Cerluea and Nurse Honey study him so they can learn how to take his time reversing powers?

    Would Nyte torture him for hours, than come back later as he is chained to the walk to torture him some more? How would she feel having a "toy" that fixes itself.

    How about Rosa and Verde? Would they keep the human man chained to the bad so whenever they get hungry, they can just go eat him again and again?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Depends on if they're aware of the time loop. Most entities outside of the loop just repeat actions without realising. Cerulea probably has the ability to be aware it's going on. The others would just treat the man as they would any other human invader. Cerulea would probably find it funny and alternate between giving the man help, or sending him into various inescapable traps for amusement.

  11. Now you all are making me think of a nude Tom Cruise at the mercy of Verde and her sisters lol

    I wonder if Hydra is going to try his hand at a mummy monster girl. I remember that Mummy movie with Tom Cruise in it and the Mummy girl that was trying to seduce him was pretty hot.

    He probably wouldn't though. I don't think Hydra does undead monster girls.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I've never been able to get a good handle on how to do the undead girls. Rotting zombies are a bit hard to make sexy. Ghosts and vamps are easier. A mummy like the one in the Tom Cruise film are super easy. you could even make it more adult and still be a reasonably sensible film by having the mummy need to have sex to drain energy. It's a shame no-one wants to make films like Basic Instinct or Species anymore as that would be a really easy to do take on the Mummy idea.

  12. 1. Can succubi breast milk make a man horny by drinking it? I know the Boob Fairies have that, but Im talking about all succubi in general? I remember reading somewhere in SS that Verde used her boob milk as 'lube' to give Phil a tit job and even Rosa stated that all succubi can lactate.

    If a man drank Rosa, Verde, Ntye, or Cerluea boob milk, will it effect the man like succubus venom?

    2. I just realized that Nyte, Cerluea, Nurse Honey didn't get an anal scene. How do they feel like anal sex? Rosa seems annoyed by it.

    3. What is their relationship status with each other? They refer to each other as 'sisters' so are Verde, Rosa and the others family, or are they just 'immortal best friends' that live together?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 1) Depends on the succubus (and hopefully I remember to keep them consistent with what they can do).

      2) Didn't really come up. It was a plot point in the Rosa scene. The others would be fine with it - they're succubi and can drain and get pleasure from all orifices. Nyte would deliberately make it very tight, so that one might hurt a little with her...

      3) Kept open in case I want to use it as a plot point later. Whatever it is, it's a strong relationship.

      Delete
  13. The scary thing is that even if Tom Cruise fought the succubi and had his time reversing powers, he's still fucked big time if Nurse Honey absorbs him. He's not dead nor is he really alive, thus it won't activate.

    Like the saying goes, there are fates worse than death...

    Replies
    1. I've not yet seen the movie or read the manga (light novel?) it's based on, so I'm not sure what the trigger to rewind time is based on. I can see Nurse Honey's absorption messing it up, though, as it messed up the soul divining and attempted rescue mission in SS 201.

      Delete
  14. This comment section is funny as fuck. We went from taking about the new harlot and the New Year holiday to a Tom Cruise vs Succubi discussion XD

    Tom Cruise will be stomped by the succubi. Even if you gave him the time reversing powers from Edge of Tomorrow and the combat skills from that Jack Reacher movie, Rosa and especially Nyte still folds him like paper.

    Replies
    1. It is pretty funny. The question of who wins is possibly more interesting than it first appears.

      1st answer is the easiest one. He's a regular human, completely outclassed and getting folded like paper.

      However, that's pretty much every movie hero vs a powerful monster. Their 'super power' is the ability to find a way to survive and win against the obvious bad odds. You'd back him in that story, even though the succubi are more powerful.

      However - again - most of my stories are explicit subversions of the usual hero tales. In them, the hero does not prevail, and if it's one of those stories... he's toast.

  15. I would like to see a Succubus Vs one shot again. A Hollywood Actor vs Succubus would be interesting. Kind of like that Christmas MCU Special where the two aliens from the Guardians of the Galaxy went to Hollywood to kidnap Kevin Bacon so he can perform for them.

    Would be cool to see a story of a band, or actor abducted by succubi and they must perform for a 'daemon party' or they die.

    1. I have a couple of new 'Vs' stories ideas lined up.

      The actor vs succubus idea is definitely something that could be played with. Maybe a "Galaxy Quest" type thing of Space Marine vs Succubus, but the 'space marine' is the actor of a popular sci-fi series.

  16. Just got done reading the sex scene of Phil getting gang banged by Verde and crew and i was wondering. What if there was a lost normal human man that ran into Phil and before he could help him escape, Verde comes in naked and she explains that the Lust planes are aligned and her sex drive and her other sisters are turbocharged.

    So you know how Phil tries to escape using the smoke bomb spell? What would Verde do? Would she instead chase after the human guy knowing he isn't a warlock? What would she say if the dude told her that if she's hungry, why don't he just order her pizza?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Verde quite likes Phil. She'd almost certainly choose to slake her hunger on a random new human that happened to be there instead.

      She'd order the pizza, then 'eat' both the dude and the pizza delivery guy.

  17. Hydra if you haven't already, I might consider sampling this game in development to give your muse a break and something to enjoy.

    Surprisingly good gameplay for the art, and while seemingly like Tower of Trample, the fetishes focuses, animations, and succubi/MG ideas are much more your flavor. Plus the writing is all in quality english, a rare bonus.

    1. Checked that out on your recommendation and seems promising. Might do a proper write-up on it. It's heavy on the fart, foot and giantess fetishes, but has plenty of other stuff as well. I hope the dev sticks with it and gets a full game out.

      Delete
  18. Wow...Verde is really vile and terrible. She rejects the glory that is pizza to eat humans? Jesus she really is a monstrous demon!

    It also shows the morality of the demons. Adam the fire fighter might be a good man that saves people, has a loving family, and treats everyone with kindness, but Verde or Rosa would just see him as a tasty 'cookie' they can eat and nothing more.

    Is the reason succubi eat humans is because they instinctively see humans as prey just like a wolf seeing a rabbit as food?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Pretty much. I try to sugarcoat it to make them less monstrous, but it's still comparable to cows and sheep looking at humans. The human might be a 'nice' human to animals overall, but they might also be partial to the odd steak or burger.

      Delete
  19. Verde doesn't seem that aggressive. So what does she do if she is alone and catches a lost random human male in the castle? She'll obviously try to seduce him, but what if he knew that Verde was dangerous and tried running away?

    Would she run up to him to kiss him, or will try to bite his neck and inject the Succubus Venom? I ask this because you stated Hydra that Verde isn't really a fighter, so what will she do to a human running from her.

    Would she pursue him because she's confident she can take on the guy and wont have to rely on Rosa or othes?

    1. Seduce them. If that fails summon up some vines to catch them if they try to run away. Verde is more than a match for a random human male.

      If they'd had some warlock magic or were a much-above-average hero type, it might be different.

  20. I would like to see tough guy that's like Jack Reacher, a man that is skilled in combat, is buff as fuck, acts all serious, and has a military background fight Nyte.

    I want to read with joy as the tough guy that never lost a fight and isn't scared of anything lose all that bravado when faced with Nyte and is crushed by her.

    What? I like femdom and seeing a hot demon girl dominate a buff tough human guy is hot as fuck. Slayer vs Succubus was amazing and I hope you make more of them Big H :)

    1. Those stories are fun to write. The Vs series is loosely intended to be cocky hero type gets out of their depth vs cunning succubus.

      The annoying thing is that culture seems to have shifted against the traditional male hero. It's not as fun or subversive to write those stories when most of the modern movies seem to have turned the old hero archetypes into clowns and morons. It's just writing the same thing as everywhere else then. :(

      Top Gun was a smash hit last year though. Maybe things will shift back and that type of story will be fun again.

  21. Y'all asking about a man with time powers, but im more interested to see what Hydra's succubi think about succubi from other media.

    What would Verde's and her sisters reaction would be if they met Morrigan from Darkstalkers, Verosika and her gang from Helluva Boss, and the Lilim from MGE.

    I can already tell the Lilim would be horrified of Hydra's succubi as they are trying to get peace with humans and the thought of a succubus that is not only incapable of loving a human, but only sees them as food will appall them.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Would get along with Morrigan, I think. If I remember right, Nurse Honey was originally written as a darker take on the Morrigan lore that she takes the souls inside her to experience eternal bliss.

      The Helluva Boss succubi are fairly bitchy and not too powerful if I remember right. They'd probably get bullied.

      Not sure on MGE's Lilim. They'd probably be factions with differing approaches and aims, so would either be allies or opponents depending on the situation.

      As for other famous succubi, interactions with the White Court from the Dresden books would be interesting. That would probably vary on objectives, again.

  22. Are you all really surprised that Verde is still monstrous? Here is a quote from her.

    "Ahh, but taking unwilling prey to that moment of sweet surrender is the true pleasure, for both parties." -Verde.

    Verde just admitted that she enjoys mind breaking resisting men into giving up their souls and she referred to humans as 'prey'.

    So as nice Verde may seem, she is NO Nicole. I think there were some fans that weren't happy to learn that Verde wasn't going to be the Nicole of Succubus Summoning.

    Replies
    1. It's a really tough line to walk with Verde. She's not Nicole, although she can have stories where she acts in a similar manner if she takes a liking to the protagonist. I could also just as easily give her a story where she's a more typical scary horror monster bent on killing the protagonist. I know some people were put off by her scene at the beginning of 201 where she feasts on another student. It is what she is.
