A Succubus for Remembrance - Out now in Paperback!

I knew I'd forgotten something.  This post should have gone out last Friday.

I've been gradually commissioning new cover art for the A Succubus for collections and putting out paperback versions.  This is the first time they've been available in print version since my old publisher, eXcessica, closed down a few years ago.  I'm now onto the 5th collection - A Succubus for Remembrance.

This is now live on Amazon and can be picked up in paperback version here.

It looks like this:

This is my 5th collection of erotic horror short stories, originally published in 2013.

Here's the full 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...

I've also updated the ebook versions to use marwmellow's new cover art.  He's done a great job of turning the nameless succubus into a sort of mascot for the series.  Don't be tricked by her cute appearance.  That one has a very black heart....

If you haven't previous checked out the collection, I hope you give it a look.  Some very nice erotic horror in this one, with emphasis on both halves of the erotic horror equation.

Public demo of House of Hellish Harlots [text-only] updated to v0.057

It's been a while (nearly a year, ugh!), but finally some new harlots have been added to the House.  The Dancers of Olümzül bir Haz (aka Imp Harem) make their long awaited debut inside the House.  They are 84th harlot encounter and last of the Round 5 elites.  More details are up on my Patreon or SubscribeStar.

This means I can also update the public version of HoHH [text] on the houseofhellishharlots website to v0.057.  The initial intent was to have the public version lag 2 releases behind the paywalled version.  That was originally 2 months when HoHH was getting updated monthly, but - for various reasons - it's a bit longer at the moment.  You can play that by clicking the "public" button on this page.

v0.057 was the version that added the 3rd elite, The Trapperess.  She has the player run through a gauntlet of sexy traps to test them out.

As for the long gaps between the text-only releases.  There are a couple of reasons.

The first is that the Round 5 elites are much larger scenarios than the regular harlots.  They are going to be the only harlots encountered on Round 5, so I felt I needed to add more variety to their scenarios to increase playability.  The way I did this was to make them "5-scenarios-in-1", which does give them more variety, but also requires a higher word count.  After seeing how long it took me to write them, I've toned this back for the Round 9 elites.  They are "3-scenarios-in-1" and I've already made a good start on them with 2 of the 5 rough drafts already written.

The second reason is I've been putting in a lot of work on the art version of HoHH.  That is starting to look really nice - not far off a regular indie game.  The demo for that is still paywalled, but now that the last of the Round 5 elites is done, I will be pushing ahead to make a proper demo covering the first 5 round and ending in the elites.  I need to port over the elites for that, and there's still a fair bit of tidying up to be done on it.

As for now, the text-only version of HoHH is moving again.  And as I've already written 2 of the next round of elites, the next update hopefully shouldn't take as long!
