A Succubus for Social Justice - Print Version

The upcoming collection, A Succubus for Social Justice, will have a print version.

As much as I hate using Amazon's Kindle Create program (it's shite), I did manage to produce a print manuscript out of it that previewed okay.  Kindle Create is frustratingly annoying to use as it doesn't seem to allow much in the way of formatting (Want to use a different font for "Contents", hahahaha... ugh), so it's pretty much the default template inside.

Despite this it seemed to come out pretty well aside from Amazon's default 9 x 6 being a little bigger than I'm used to in a paperback.

I did order a proof copy to check it out.  That looked okay, so I'll be offering a print version of A Succubus for Social Justice alongside the ebook version.

Unfortunately, Print-on-Demand paperbacks cost a little more than the standard mass-market paperbacks you get in bookshops, so I had to set a price of $15.99 for this one.

The print option is there, though, for people that prefer that.  It doesn't have a pre-order page for some reason, but will go live on the official release date of Nov 14th.

Now that I'm a little bit more comfortable with creating the print versions, I'm planning to go through my back catalogue and make print versions available for the older books (probably with new cover art for the collections).

Excerpt - "A Succubus for Social Justice, Part 7"

With the new ebook out in a week and a half (you can pre-order it here), I think it's time to build some hype with various little excerpts.

The nameless succubus from the succubus tablet is very active in this collection. One thing I knew I had to do was bring in a greater variety to her 'kills' than the usual 'get on top and ride man until drained to beef jerky'. She's a little Freddy Krueger-esque in her stories for this one (but with deadly sex rather than gore).

This seems fairly fitting. A while back I speculated that one of the reasons we don't get good succubus horror movies is that The Nightmare on Elm Street series established Freddy Krueger as the Ur-Dream Demon. Between his power set and sexy vamps, succubi pretty much got squeezed out of horror movies. (It also doesn't help that sex is much more of a cultural no-no in American movies than gore.)

Here is the nameless succubus being a little more creative than normal.

Then he was falling...

He landed on a billowing sheet of glossy black latex. It took him a few moments to catch up with what had happened. Gravity had reversed. What had looked like a strange rubber canopy affixed to the ceiling was now a billowing rubber floor filled with air, or maybe even water. Quentin slid down to a depression in the middle of the pit.

How the fuck was this even possible?

Looking up, he could see the rest of his bedroom hanging from the ceiling as if glued in place.

There was motion opposite Quentin. A face pushed up against the rubber. It kept pushing and the rubber stretched as first a head and then a naked female torso emerged from the rubber floor. It was the succubus, in her true form. She had devil horns sticking up at her temples. She slowly rose up out of the floor. At first the rubber seemed to stretch as she pushed up against it, then it seemed to merge with and become her skin, as if the whole rubber floor was part of her body. She looked completely naked, with her body covered in a layer of black latex paint. Quentin could see her nipples—perky, erect, and pointed. He might have appreciated them more if he wasn't currently freaking out.

"Ahhhh." The latex covering her lower jaw parted as she opened her mouth and let out a long erotic sigh. The rubber covered her like a second skin, right down to her teeth.

She glanced sultrily at Quentin. Her lips bunched up in a disappointed pout.

"You left so soon," she said. "Before we had a chance to get to know each other more... intimately."

"What do you want?" Quentin asked.

"Why you, my scrumptious," the succubus answered. "I want you inside me."

She tipped her head back and let out an indecent moan.

The latex sheet Quentin was lying on seemed to soften, especially at his feet in the bottom of the depression. The rubber there changed to the constituency of soft mud and Quentin's feet sank into it.

What the?

Quentin tried to pull them out. It felt like he'd stepped into thick cloying mud. It was difficult as there was virtually nothing to give him any purchase. There was just the rubber sheet and that seemed to be inflated up off the floor like an airbed. Quentin leant back and lifted his knees. He kept pulling and felt something give.

His trainers. His feet were sliding out. Quentin was fine with that. She could keep them.

Yes, he could feel his feet coming free.

The succubus let out another lewd sigh.

The rubber floor swelled up around him. Quentin's trainers and socks were sucked down into the black morass. Unfortunately, the billowing rubber rolled up around his naked feet and gripped his ankles. As the succubus finished letting out her sigh, the floor subsided and Quentin's feet were tugged down with it. It felt like they'd been tightly shrink-wrapped in warm pliable rubber.

Fuck. He was going to be sucked down like it was quicksand if this kept up.

The full story can be found in "A Succubus for Social Justice and other tales of Erotic Evil. Available on Amazon to pre-order here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FYNHHW32

Thinking back to the Freddy Krueger analogy. That has been dormant of late, which maybe creates an opening for a new dream demon to haunt horror. The other thing missing from movies over the past couple of decades is the T 'n' A that used to be fairly ubiquitous in films back in the 90s and earlier (maybe a little too unnecessarily gratuitous in some cases, but at least it wasn't boring).

Maybe the time is right for a good succubus horror movie that isn't afraid to show a little nudity...

Available for Pre-Order - "A Succubus for Social Justice and other tales of Erotic Evil"

It's ready...

I've submitted the manuscript to Amazon and the official release date is set for Nov 14th.  You can pre-order it here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FYNHHW32

Here is the blurb:

Demonic Justice is like Cosmic Justice, just a little less... accurate.

Erotic Horror master M. E. Hydra returns with a seventh sizzling collection of short stories featuring sexy succubi and other monster girls.

“Outcall with a Succubus” sees an overworked politician receive a visit from an amorous guest. A man suffering from anxiety is prescribed an unusual vac-bed treatment in “Shiborito in the Bag”. A group of activists in “A Trial in Vennington” discover a succubus is not quite the instrument of feminist vengeance they hoped for. An arrogant mage in “Mage vs Succubus Slime” learns why it’s important to have a full party after he’s ensnared and drained of his levels by a special slime girl. And finally, “A Succubus for Social Justice” has a succubus used as a tool of assassination, until the wrong target is chosen...

Enjoy these and other dark tales of erotic evil. They’ll give you pleasures beyond your wildest dreams, and terrors beyond your darkest nightmares...

It's a weird book. The central framing story, "A Succubus for Social Justice", is a multi-part novella. Each part is a separate short story of a different protagonist being hunted down by the nameless succubus from the succubus tablet.

However, the other short stories also serve to introduce characters that appear in the central story, or start threads that are continued in later stories. Technically, each functions as a standalone story, but they are all part of a larger story.

That makes the collection somewhere in between a standard short story collection and a classic fix-up novel.

There are some pretty big lore moments, especially in the "A Succubus for Social Justice" stories.  The finale in particular has some surprise connections and hints of connections.

Anyway, two weeks, and then you'll be able to read them yourselves. I'll be teasing with various excerpts over those two weeks to hype things up.

I'm also looking into getting a print version ready for this one. Unfortunately, print versions are usually a little expensive for print-on-demand books (about $20 for a paperback) and the formatting is a lot fiddlier. I'm doing my research and hoping to get that ready to release at the same time. I can't guarantee on that. Creating a manuscript for an ebook is a doddle. Creating a manuscript for a print book is a... headache.

I hope you enjoy the book when it comes out.

Harlot Art Preview - N'gleria Sepiida

My schedule has been thrown off over the past month while I finish off the new collection of short stories.  I haven't forgotten about the harlot art previews.  Here is N'gleria Sepiida.

She loves brains in a man.  Big juicy brains...

Art is by Marwmellow.

For more on current progress on House of Hellish Harlots, check out my Patreon or SubscribeStar.

I took a month off to put a new collection of short stories together.  All the writing is done for that.  I'm currently waiting on the cover art while I format the manuscript and carry out the final edits.  Expect a big announcement on when that's coming out as an ebook in a couple of weeks or so.

Grok'ed Harlots

Grok updated and has a fairly nifty animate picture feature.  Someone fed it Temptacia and got this.

I thought that looked pretty cool and so did some playing around myself and had some nice results.

Here is a tempting one of Va-kyuuma.

A flirty one of Boobella.

And Grok also managed the impossible and made one of my monster girl creations (Leppi Navitas) look cute.

I showed it marwmellow (the artist who created the base images) and he started to have some fun with the tool as well.

Grok has a speech option as well.  Marwmellow tried it out and got a lovely introduction from The Madam.

I've been playing around with creating some fun harlot intros as well.  Here's Panta Prota.

And a slightly ethereal one of Nooru asking if you'd like a massage.

It is AI, which I appreciate is a controversial subject for some people.  I have a fairly nuanced view on it. (Fine as a tool to aid creatives.  Very against it being used to replace human creatives altogether.)  This seems to fall into the tool category to me.  The original art was human-created and is of a style that would be fairly difficult to animate with conventional means.

Something like this would be pretty good for prototyping, and then getting a proper VA to overdub the machine-generated lines.

Unfortunately, it is content blocked for more risque pictures (no naked boobies), but this does seem to be account or region dependent, as I've seen people generate clips using some of the more spicier pics.

Currently, I don't actually know what to do with these.  The welcome piece from The Madam can maybe go on a title page.  As for the others, I might just use them for promo purposes.

It's amazing what modern technology can do.  And a little spooky to see some of my characters brought to life like this.  I hope you like them anyway. 

Art Preview - Cyane

I have another unusual monster girl harlot to show off this week.  Cyane is a jellyfish girl.

She likes to get men under her bell and use her tentacles to have them writhe in ecstasy as she slowly pumps them out.

Art is by marwmellow.

I'm currently spending the month working on a new short story collection.  Work on House of Hellish Harlots will resume once that is out.  To keep up with current progress, check out my Patreon or SubscribeStar.

Art Preview - Burbalka

Continuing the art previews of harlots from House of Hellish Harlots, here is Burbalka.  Wouldn't you like to join her in her pool...

Art is by Marwmellow.

Art Preview - The Trapperess

Back to more art previews from the House of Hellish Harlots game project I'm currently working on.  This is the Trapperess.

The Trapperess works for the Huntresses of Huthswiven Manor.  She manufactures traps to procure new "quarry" for the hunts and to recapture any humans trying to run away.  Her traps are designed to incapacitate with pleasure.  It's very easy to recapture humans when part of them wants to be caught by her various naughty traps.  The Madam has given her a basement area of the House to try out new trap ideas on any souls brave enough to pick her.

Art is by Marwmellow.

For regular updates on the House of Hellish Harlots project, check out my Patreon or SubscribeStar.  After being stuck for a while, I finally managed to get a new release out with the slime smother nun, Mother Voluptua Obruo.

House of Hellish Harlots v0.056 (Temptacia)

It's been a while since I've put out any updates to the OG text-only version of House of Hellish Harlots.  This is a through a combination of being bogged down adding new features to the art version, elite harlot scenarios taking longer to write, and getting bogged down and slightly blocked writing Mother Voluptua Obruo.

Finally, I've been able to bash through that, and patrons/subscribers got a new update (v0.058) yesterday that added the 4th elite harlot to the House.  More on that in a mo.

This means I'm able to update the public text version to v0.056.  This was the release that added the 2nd elite harlot, Temptacia, to the House.  The full release notes on her are below.

Temptacia

I think people have been waiting for this one for a while.  Temptacia was first teased in the intro of the game, where the player saw her during The Madam's introductory tour.  She's taken a while to write because, well, her scenario is huge.  At 25,000 words it's far larger than any other harlot currently in the House.

It fits the general plan I have for the 'mini-bosses'.  Because their position is fixed (or will be) and not many other harlots are available on their round, I wanted to give them multiple options, so it would take a few playthroughs for players to see all their content.

Temptacia is a single 'core' with 5 separate scenarios - Paizuri, Anal, Blowjob, Footjob, Vaginal Sex.  She randomly gives the player the choice between two of those every time they visit her.  The Black Rose gift can be used to give the player the choice from all 5, but they won't be walking out afterwards.

As for her mechanics and difficulty, even though she is in-lore a powerful elite succubus, Temptacia is loyal to The Madam and is fairly easy to survive, which will mostly be the case for the round 5 mini-bosses.  She has an internal mechanic which might result in some surprise Bad Ends, but she prefers to put the choice of pleasurable damnation in the player's hands.  That will probably still get a lot of you!

I did go a little overboard on her separate scenarios.  Some even have variant Bad Ends.  This won't be the case for the other mini-bosses.  I felt Temptacia should be a special character that really gives the player the feeling they are in the room with a very versatile and powerful elite succubus.  I'm hoping she delivers on that and is worth the wait.

She is also the first harlot in the House to have a proper foot scene.  I'm not a 'foot person', so I'm not sure how that one will turn out.  I hope people like it!

I even have some nice pin-up art for her (thanks to marwmellow), although she's not yet been added to the art version of HoHH.

The public demo of the text version of HoHH can be found on the houseofhellishharlots website.

The private demo can also be found there. This is two versions ahead. v0.058 added the 4th elite harlot, Mother Voluptua Obruo to the House.  She is a type of slime girl that uses her body to erotically smother the player in a variety of sexy ways.  To find out more, check out my Patreon or SubscribeStar, which has regular updates on what I'm working on at the moment.

Harlot Art - Rwberia Godr-0-sgwid

Here is another art preview of one of the harlot "elites" from the current House of Hellish Harlots game project I'm working on.

This is Rwberia Godr-0-sgwid, the artificial scylla.  She has multiple sperm-extracting tentacles, each capable of providing a different pleasure, and each capable of completely draining a man of all semen.

Art is by marwmellow, who has been doing an excellent job of depicting all the various harlots.

For regular updates on the House of Hellish Harlots project, check out my Patreon or SubscribeStar. I'm hoping to have a new release out fairly soon.  After been stuck for a lot longer than I'd have liked on the slime smother nun elite, her scenario is now written and typed up (about 14K words), and I'm hoping to finally have new releases out (for both public and paid tiers) in the next week or so.

Hell Harlot - Temptacia

Here is another art preview from the current House of Hellish Harlots project I'm currently working on.

She is one of the special "mini-boss" harlots.  They only show up on specific rounds and have a greater variety of sex acts for the player to choose for their room scenario.  This is to increase their replayability, but also is a lot of extra writing work for me!  I'm still working away on a slime nun suffocatrix, after being stuck on her for a while.

Temptacia is an archetypal succubus and extremely talented.  Her scenario is currently available to play in the text-only version and people seem to enjoy letting her have her way with them.

Art is by marwmellow, who did a great job with a character I knew needed to be "special".

For regular updates on the House of Hellish Harlots project, check out my Patreon or SubscribeStar.  The mini-boss harlots are much larger and bigger scenarios than the regular harlots, so it's currently taking me a little longer to write and implement them.

Hell Harlot - The Doctoress

The last of the House of Hellish Harlots NPCs is The Doctoress.

She is the House's resident "mad scientist".  Her role in the game is to sell the player various potions to alter their stats and give them a way to pass certain checks imposed by some of the harlots.

She is also heavily involved with the Artificial Beings faction (she created most of them).

As with the other NPCs, she'll also get her own harlot scenario, but unlike the others I'm still in the process of figuring out what will happen in that scenario.

Art is by marwmellow.

I've finished the first draft of the slime smother nun and so I'm hoping to get a new release out around the end of the month.

Hell Harlot - The Buxom Lolibaba

Continuing the NPC art reveals, here is the full pinup art of the Buxom Lolibaba.

She's a witch that sells protective charms to help the player versus some of the more dangerous harlots within the House.  As long as you can figure out what the charm is supposed to protect against...  The Buxom Lolibaba's explanations are... cryptic.

As with the other NPCs, she will eventually get her own scenario.

Art is again by marwmellow.

To keep up to date on the House of Hellish Harlots project, as well as getting access to early builds, art previews and other background lore, please consider checking out my Patreon or SubscribeStar.  I'm currently hard at work writing the next mini-boss (a slime girl smother nun) and hoping to get a new release out fairly shortly.

Hell Harlot - The Elegant Woman

Continuing the art reveals of the various NPCs in House of Hellish Harlots, here is the pinup for The Elegant Woman.

The Elegant Woman is the House gossip.  If you keep buying her drinks she'll drop hints on how to survive the various harlots within the House.  Her information is not always reliable...

She will also get her own H-scenes and scenarios as one of the harlots, I just need to get the more critical mini-boss-harlot scenarios written first.

Art is by Marwmellow, who has been doing excellent work bringing the various characters to life.

To keep up to date on the House of Hellish Harlots project, as well as getting access to early builds, art previews and other background lore, please consider checking out my Patreon or SubscribeStar.  The project has evolved and grown bigger than my original idea, but I've kept working away and added a lot of content (about 80 separate harlots now!).

Hell Harlot - Nurse Honey

I'm out of hell harlot profiles at the moment, but I still have some art to show off.  A few months back I had art of the various NPCs in the House done.  These will also have their own sexy room scenarios, but I haven't written them yet. In the meantime, I'm using the part of the art for their portraits in-game, with the pinups to be used for their scenarios later.

Starting off is a special one - Nurse Honey.

Nurse Honey is a fan favourite.  She's a character from my Succubus Summoning series.  I added her to the House's roster as a nurse NPC that may or may not have the player character's best interests at heart...

Art is by marwmellow, and he did a great job here.

To keep up to date on the House of Hellish Harlots project, as well as getting access to early builds, art previews and other background lore, check out my Patreon or SubscribeStar.

The project has grown a little more complex than I initially intended, but I'm continuing to make steady progress.

Hell Harlot - L'iaculatia

This is the last of the harlot profiles I have ready - L'iaculatia.  She's the sporty spider girl that likes tiring men out, webbing them up, and having fun with them.

She's the last of low-tier harlots to show off and the last I currently have a profile of.  However, the low-tier harlots constitute about a third of the overall roster.  All of them are currently in the HoHH (art) demo version and have pinup art.

I also have art for pretty much all of the mid-tier harlots and most of the high-tier harlots (that are written - I still have a handful of the regular ones left to write).

Art is currently pinup only, but I'm exploring options with marwmellow to add more explicit H-scenes.  To help me fund that I've set up options to allow patrons to commission scenes with their fav girls.  I'm looking forward to seeing how that comes out.  I'll also see if I can scrape the bottom of the art funds chest to commission more XXX-rated art.

All the current demos (text-only and art version) are up on the houseofhellishharlots website.  For the passwords to them and to keep up to date with latest progress, please consider subscribing to my Patreon and SubscribeStar.  I post regular weekly updates as well as even earlier previews of the art.

Hell Harlot - Leppi Navitas

Don't worry, I'm still alive!

After revamping the art version of HoHH I turned my attentions to adding some new functionality.  This tracks data in-between runs (which I always wanted but initially thought I wouldn't be able to do in Twine).  This is the form of a "notebook" that records things the player learns about each harlot and persists even if the harlot ends that particular run.

Adding that functionality ended up being more of a coding slog than I anticipated, and I've been tied up with that for the past month and a half.  It's pretty much all in now and seems to be working okay.  I'll post more about that in a future post.

In the meantime, I still have some harlot profiles from the low-tier harlots left to post.  This is the lovely and energetic Leppi Navitas, the House's resident fitness-freak bunny girl.

Art again is by marwmellow, who is also currently open for commissions of harlots in more... ahem... active poses.  I've already mentioned it to patrons and I'll repeat the same post up here in a week or so.  If you want more details, get in touch or drop a comment below.

Despite the long coding slog, I've been maintaining regular update posts up on Patreon and SubscribeStar, where you can also get access to the most current demos.

Update on House of Hellish Harlots 1.5 (The Art Version)

It's been a little while since my last post here, but I'm still around and still busy.  For the end of February and most of March I've been working on the art version of House of Hellish Harlots.  It is still a Twine project, but the output is a HTML file, so with some tweaks to the CSS it is possible to make it start to resemble a small-budget indie game.

This is still a work-in-progress, but it is coming together.  As well as pinup art for the harlots I've been working on assembling the art (by marwmellow) for the title screen above.

As well as that, I've added the AI-art charm cards I created a while back as well as making a proper shop interface.

Now players have a pictorial representation of the various charms they can buy.

I also updated the character sheet to display the charms and ailments as icons.  While I'm happy with how the charm icons turned out, the ailments will probably need human art, mostly because of difficulties getting a consistent style.

The Buxom Lolibaba is not the only one with a shop front.  I also gave one to The Doctoress.

And one for the Elegant Woman's gossip.

And because about half the people are playing HoHH on mobile devices, I had to write the CSS to support different screen sizes such as below.

The graphical elements are still not finalised.  There are some icons I need to replace and the various buttons will get different formatting than the standard default.  Overall, though, it is shaping up and starting to look closer to an actual indie H-game rather than a screen of plain text.

There is a working demo out, but it's currently restricted to Patreon/SubscribeStar.  Follow me on either for more regular updates.  I am hoping to get a full public demo out soon(ish).

Currently I'm working on adding an equivalent of the Portly Gentleman's Notebook to the game.  This will track information learned from the many deaths at the hands of the harlots and hopefully give the game some form of a progression system.

Hell Harlot - Huntress Diana and Khruutka

My posting schedule is still a little erratic.  I'm hard at work on the art version of House of Hellish Harlots at the moment.  Here is another Hell Harlot profile.

Huntress Diana is one of the huntresses from the infamous Huthswiven Manor. They enjoy hunting men and engaging in perverse acts with those they catch. Khruutka Smucheshta is her faithful hound. Diana likes to set her loose on a man and watch as the feral spumpire sucks all the fluids out of him with a powerful blowjob.

Art is by Marwmellow.  More of his work can be found here.

You can play with Dianna and Khruutka over on the househellishharlots website.  The public demo is currently the text-only version of the game.  I'm still working on an updated version with art and graphics.  More details can be found on my Patreon or SubscribeStar, where I post regular updates.

New Short Story - "The Boobslug..."

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Hell Harlot - Lady Flumpth

I've been a bounced around a little more than I was expecting in January.  Time to catch up on some Hell Harlot profiles.

This week's hell harlot is Lady Flumpth.  This "mouldy trollop" just loves to bring men to rot and ruin as they enjoy the pleasures hidden beneath her dress.

Art is by Marwmellow.  More of his work can be found here.

You can play with Sister Squeeze over on the househellishharlots website.  The public demo is currently the text-only version of the game.  I'm still working on an updated version with art and graphics.  Plans for a proper public demo of this have been delayed while I add some new functionality that tracks player progress across games to give a better sense of progression.  I didn't think I'd be able to do it in Twine, and then figured out how to do it in Twine.  More details can be found on my Patreon or SubscribeStar, where I post regular updates.

House of Hellish Harlots v0.055 (Rwberia Godr-0-sqwid)

The public version of House of Hellish Harlots has been updated to v0.055.

This adds the 1st mini-boss to the House:

Rwberia Godr-0-sgwid
Rwberia (it's pronounced Ruberia) is a special creation of The Doctoress - an artificial scylla with multiple suction tentacles to milk the cum from a man. She has a wide variety of tentacles - some reminiscent of real-life sex toys, others that are far more exotic. Each specialises in a different kind of stimulation, and Rwberia is aiming to trigger a critical ejaculatory response that will enable her to suck all the semen (and other fluids) out of a man.

Failing that, she'll be happy with sucking a load (or three) out for her producer.

This should also give an idea of my plans for the special 'mini-boss' scenarios. Because they have a fixed round, I wanted to give them a variety of H-scenes for the player to choose, so that the player won't get bored encountering them on subsequent runs.

I may have gone slightly overboard with Rwberia as she has 13 different specialised tentacles she can use on the player. Each scene is quite short, but that should give the player plenty of replay options every time he encounters her.

This version can be played on the houseofhellishharlots website.

This is the public version. $1 and higher tiers are 2 releases ahead. Those releases have added the 2nd (Temptacia) and 3rd mini-boss (The Trapperess) into the House. Paid tiers on Patreon and SubscribeStar also get a look at the experimental versions adding art and other features.

Happy New Year and have fun with Rwberia!
