Paperback version of A Succubus for Halloween is now available

For the last few months I've been commissioning new cover art for the short story collections and rereleasing print versions for them.

We're now up to the 3rd collection, A Succubus for Halloween, and marwmellow came up with some lovely cover art for this one.





(The cuteness is a lie).

This one was originally published (ebook and paperbook) through eXcessica in 2011. I put it out on my own author account after eXcessica ended in 2022 with a rough AI-art cover (ebook only). Now it has nice new human-drawn art for the cover and a paperback version.

The downside is it's a Print-on-Demand paperback and those are more expensive. The lowest I could put the price and still receive something from each sale is $15.99. It does look very nice, however, and is there for people that would prefer a physical copy of my books.

There are quite a few stories that can only be found in this collection, including Epicratea's first appearance in "Oil-Wrestling a Succubus".

You can buy the paperback on Amazon here:

I've also updated the ebook version to have the new cover art on other retailers and those changes should be live or going live very soon. (With the exception of smashwords - I still need to merge my smashwords and Draft2Digital accounts.)

I hope you enjoy it!

Harlot Art Preview - Epicratea

I had a few problems getting the latest House of Hellish Harlots (art version) release out, but those are resolved, so it's back to the harlot art previews.

This week is another succubus who previously showed up in one of my short stories.  Epicratea, the Ebony Succubus, first appeared in my "Oil Wrestling a Succubus" short story.  That story can be found in the A Succubus for Halloween collection.  I've just received new cover art for that collection and will be putting out a new print version in a couple of weeks, but more on that in a future post.

As indicated by the title, Epicratea loves a good oil wrestle.  She likes sexily overpowering men and then finally claiming them in her succubus form.  She finished high enough on a poll of characters patrons would like to see added to HoHH, so I ported her scene over from the story.  So now players of HoHH can now have some slippery fun with her.

Here is her art as drawn by marwmellow:




I think he did a great job of capturing her with this one.  It might be sexy oil wrestling fun, but Epicratea does not fuck around.

After a lot of bug squashing I did finally get HoHH1.5 v0.017 out.  This should be the first in what should hopefully be a series of regular releases as I update the remaining low-tier harlots with full notebook and replay functionality.  These releases also include new full H-scene art for some harlots by marwmellow, commissioned by both me and patrons.  So if you have a favourite you'd like to see drawn in a certain way, get in touch.

The release can be found here n the houseofhellishharlots website and can be found here behind the "Private Demo" button.  For details on how to access it (as well as regular updates on the HoHH project) check out my Patreon or SubscribeStar.

Harlot Art Preview - Huntress Levka

This week's harlot preview is Huntress Levka and her trusty "hounds", Minyette and Zhopa.  As a member of the Huthswiven Manor she enjoys hunting men and letting her hounds get up to perverted fun with those they catch.



Art is by marwmellow.

This week was a good one in terms of game development.  I put out a new release for the art version of HoHH (v0.016).  This adds notebook, monsterpedia, and autosave functionality to half of the currently implemented harlots.  The demo version can be found in the experimental section of the houseofhellishharlots website here.  For the passwords and regular updates on how game development is going, check out my Patreon or SubscribeStar.

Harlot Art Preview - Atómica

This week's harlot art preview is a harlot I have a spin-off story idea form, but haven't got around to writing it yet.  Atómica, La Bomba de Amor is a luchador themed succubus.  His speciality is the "love bomb" finishing move where she flies the man up high and then drives them down into a giant inflatable airbag.  The resulting orgasm for the man is explosive, but sadly terminal.  At least he gets to go out with a bang...




Art is by Marwmellow.  I made a slight boob with the descriptions in failing to emphasize the importance of her having wings - something I might ask to be added when I come to commission her H-scene (or someone adopts her).

The Adopt-a-Harlot scheme has been going pretty well.  I'm nearly through the notebook/monsterpedia slog to the point I should be able to start putting out regular release again soon.  These will start to include "spicier" artwork of the harlots in action.

Harlot Art Preview - Eve Satana

This week's harlot art preview is another character that originally showed up first in one of my short stories. Eve Satana first showed up in "The Biggest Tits in the World".  The Literotica version of that story is a little rough.  I cleaned it up and made it clearer some eldritch reality-warping shenanigans were taking place for the version put in the A Succubus for Freedom collection.

After finishing high in a poll of characters people wanted to see added, Eve Satana was put into the House with a scenario that also slightly expands her background lore.

And now I have some nice art of her courtesy of marwmellow that really shows off Eve's particular "assets".




Eve has also been "adopted", which means spicier work of her H-scene is currently on the way.

I'm still slowly working through the notebook/monsterpedia implementations.  I'm hoping to have a new HoHH.1.5 release out fairly soon where players will be able to see exactly what I've been up to with that as about half of the low-tier harlots will have it.  Check my PPatreon or SubscribeStar for the regular update reports.

Harlot Art Preview - Boobella

The harlot art preview for this week is Boobella.  She's another import from my short stories, first appearing in "A Chance Glance and a Chance Conversation in a Student Bar" (which also shows up in my most recent collection of short stories, A Succubus for Social Justice).

Originally I wrote her as total bitch - the succubus equivalent of the mean-girl cheerleader trope.  Evidently I failed at that as she topped a poll of characters people most wanted to see added to HoHH, and then topping polls of favourite harlots.  This despite her being very open about her desire to drain the player of everything they have and kill them.

I guess people really like bad girls... :D

Here is her lovely pinup art, courtesy of marwmellow.



She'll show you a good time in the bedroom, but it will probably be a last time...

Work on House of Hellish Harlots is progressing fairly smoothly.  I'm starting to make good progress on updating the harlot scenarios to include notebook and replay functionality.  There is still a lot to be done, but I'm hoping to be back to a more regular release schedule from April onwards.  To keep up-to-date on progress, please consider subscribing to me on Patreon or SubscribeStar.

Harlot Art Preview - Vête Piège

The harlot art preview for this week is the refined and sophisticated courtesan, Vête Piège.  Just be careful of where she puts her tail if you don't want to - literally - come to a sticky end...



Art is by Marwmellow.

I'm still working through the harlot notebook implementation and now (finally!) starting to make steady progress.  I'm hoping to be through the worst of it around the end of March and back to a more regular release schedule.  For regular updates, please check out my Patreon or SubscribeStar.

A Succubus for Valentine's Day is now available in print book version


This post was supposed to go out yesterday, but the best-laid plans and all that...

This book has a bit of a cursed history. Amazon has various automated checks to make sure somebody isn't ripping off an existing book. So what tends to happen is my attempts to republish the books under my own author account get flagged as infringing the copyright of my books when they were previously published with eXcessica. This is usually easy to resolve as I have signed documentation from eXcessica to revert the rights back to me after they closed down.

Except for this book, for some reason...

I had a hellish fight trying to get the ebook out in 2022. I just ended up with the wrong people on Amazon's Kindle Content Review team and it took a while to find someone that wasn't an idiot to resolve the problem.

I'm getting the same flags come up now I'm putting out print versions. For A Succubus for Christmas it was resolved within 10 minutes. I sent the same reply and documentation back for A Succubus for Valentine's Day, and nothing...

Given the fight I had to get the ebook out, I was dreading having the same problems.

Thankfully, it seems to have resolved, albeit taking about 36 hours rather than 10 minutes.

A Succubus for Valentine's Day is now available, again, as a physical print book for the first time in a few years. With a lovely, if extremely deceptive :D, new cover courtesy of Marwmellow. I've also updated the ebooks on Amazon and elsewhere to use the new cover (except Smashwords, as I still need to properly merge it with my Draft2Digital account).

I've tried to keep the price as low as possible, but Print-on-Demand paperbacks are unfortunately more expensive to produce than mass-market paperbacks, so the lowest I could drop it was $15.99. It is at least now an option if people want a physical copy for their bookshelf.

(With a very innocent-looking cover to properly traumatize anyone reading the first story by mistake. :D )

You can find it on Amazon here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GNH6K3G6

I hope you enjoy it and happy Valentine's Day!

Coming Soon - "A Succubus for Valentine's Day" in Print

I received the print proof for the new print version of "A Succubus for Valentine's Day" with new cover art by marwmellow.

Looks fine. I'll be making that available to purchase on Amazon roughly around Friday 13th Feb (depending on when it goes live). Look out for more on that next week.

I'm going to be traumatizing romance readers again with that cover, aren't I...

Harlot Art Preview - Misty

This week the harlot art preview is the House's "guard dog", Misty.  She mostly roams the House's grounds and deals with intruders.  She's not a ghost but a lust daemon with a gaseous body.  This allows her to envelop men in a cloud of bliss.




Technically, Misty was the first ever harlot.  While I was experimenting with Twine, I wrote what could be the first chapter of a CYOA detailing the player getting to the House after their car broke down.  Misty was there to deal with players that tried to take options that were not walking to the House.

That plan changed and the House of Hellish Harlots project changed into the current game idea rather than a simple CYOA or gamebook.

(Although with hindsight, I maybe should have made the more simple CYOA/gamebook first as HoHH evolved into a much more complex game project).

Art is by marwmellow.

Back to complexity, I'm still working through the harlot notebook code.  That is extremely complex, but will result in a replayable "monsterpedia" similar to the one in Monmusu Quest.  (And provide other benefits).  I've been slogging away at it for a while, but I am finally starting to make good progress on it.

Harlot Art Preview - Aphroú Kanáta ton Ouránia

This week the harlot art preview is the great bath pitcher, Aphroú Kanáta ton Ouránia.  A legendary harlot from ancient times, countless heroes have met their end within her pitcher.  She is more amenable to guests from the House, giving them a sensual frothy experience they'll remember for the rest of their lives, should they return from her pitcher... 




Art is by marwmellow.

To keep up to date on what I'm doing with the House of Hellish Harlots and other projects, follow me on Patreon or SubscribeStar.  I'm still in a stodgy phase of coding the harlot notebook, but once that roadblock is out of the way I hope to get back to speedier progress.

Harlot Art Preview - Veronicella

This week the harlot art preview is of Veronicella.  This gorgeous slug girl specialises in giving men a sensual all-over body massage with her soft and slimy body.  An experience that will have you melting in bliss...



Art by marwmellow.  There are two main reasons why I love this piece.  Ahem.

I'm still hard at work extending notebook functionality to the low-tier harlots.  It's slow and fiddly at the moment, but I'm hoping it will get quicker as I properly template the process.

Harlot Art Preview - Cerastesia

I'm hoping the art previews and House of Hellish Harlot releases will be a little more consistent in 2026.  Here is Calliophi's fiery and more passionate sister, Cerastesia.




Art by marwmellow.

She is the archetypical dusky dancing lamia, and a lot more sexually aggressive than her meek sister.

As one of the mid-tier harlots, her scenario is only in the text-only version at the moment.

To keep up-to-date with where I am on both the text and art versions of HoHH, please consider giving me a sub on Patreon or SubscribeStar.

This year I'm hoping to (finally) get that proper demo out for the art version as well as writing the remaining "elite" harlot scenarios.

Print Book Version of A Succubus for Christmas Available

Not actually ready in time for Christmas, sadly. I wanted to make sure the proof copies looked okay, and they were held up in the Christmas post.



Fortunately, the print-on-demand version looks okay, so I've made it go live on the Amazon store. You can find it here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GDR1PBQS

This is my first collection back in "print" print with new cover art drawn by marwmellow (and very deceptive art at that - don't be fooled by her cuteness!).

I've tried to set the price as low as possible while still being able to make something from each sale. PoD paperbacks are sadly more expensive than mass-market paperbacks to produce, so $15.99 was as low as I can go.

Throughout 2026 I'll be commissioning new cover art and making more of the A Succubus for series available as print books. It will be nice to give them a physical presence on the bookshelf again.

New Edition of A Succubus for Christmas

My first collection, A Succubus for Christmas, now has a new cover (thanks to marwmellow).



This was supposed to celebrate me getting a new print version out, but I managed to bungle that. It's ready, but I want to order and check a print proof first to make sure there aren't any errors.

Unfortunately, thanks to the various HoHH releases, I left it a little late getting the full coverflat ready. And I also forgot this is the Christmas season, where the post is completely overloaded. So rather than turning up in about 4 days, I'm not going to get the print proof until the start of January. Ugh.

The good news is that everything is pretty much ready for the print version. As soon as I get the proof and can confirm there are no stupid errors, I will make the print version go live.

In the meantime, I thought I'd update the ebook version now, so at least one version of the Christmas book is out before Christmas.

It's not a new book, so don't buy it again if you already own it. All I've changed is the cover.

The main thing is that if people want a physical copy rather than ebook (which A Succubus for Christmas used to have back when I was with eXcessica), you will be able to buy that in a couple of weeks or so.

If you don't already own the collection and want to pick up the ebook. You can find it here on:

I still need to resolve a snarl-up between my Smashwords and Draft2Digital accounts, so only the older version is on Smashwords at the moment.

The print book version should be available in a couple of weeks.

I'm also planning to update the covers and put out print versions of the other A Succubus for collections throughout the first half of 2026.

Harlot Art Preview - Va-kyuuma

I'm still a little all over the place with keeping up with the public harlot art previews.  According to my list, it's the turn of the vac-bed specialist Va-kyuuma.



She likes to put men in her vac-bed and give them a nice long suck.

Art is by marwmellow.

You might have already seen her art as she was one of the pinups I had good results with when playing around grok's AI animate function.  As seen here:




And here:



After putting the new book out, I've been hard at work on House of Hellish Harlots.  I've put out a couple of new releases for the art version.  This gives each harlot their own unique room background.




For more details of where I'm at with the project, check out my Patreon or SubscribeStar.

Harlot Art Preview - Nef 0-CWMWL

My posting schedule for these is still a little erratic (but slightly more reliable on Patreon and SubscribeStar).  This is the enigmatic Nef 0-CWMWL.



Nef is an artificial creation that specialises in using aphrodisiac gases to overwhelm men with ecstasy.

Unfortunately, she can also make those gases extremely toxic to those who fail to meet her standards.

Art is by marwmellow.

Now that the new book is out, I've been switching my attentions back to HoHH, and in particular the art version of HoHH.  One thing that has been holding me back is harlot notebook functionality.  The code is pretty much in place, but it requires custom text and custom implementation for each harlot.  My current goal for December is to get that done for all the low-tier harlots so I can get the project moving again.

(And get that proper public demo out!)

Harlot Art Preview - Cibi Somnia

After a brief digression to get a new collection of short stories out, it's time to return to the House of Hellish Harlot art previews.

This is Cibi Somnia.  Don't fall asleep in her presence...




Art is by marwmellow.

"A Succubus for Social Justice" is out!

The new collection should now be live. Here are some links where you can find it.

Amazon (ebook and print)
Kobo
Barnes & Noble
Apple Books
Google Books
Smashwords

There is an issue with Smashwords at the moment. They were bought by Draft2Digital recently and I have accounts on both. For this book I had to go through D2D rather than upload to Smashwords directly, and it doesn't see the author accounts as the same. The book appears to be up ok, and it's still possible to find the older books by searching directly. I need to get in touch with D2D to properly merge the two accounts.

Also, if you're wondering why the covers are slightly different on some outlets - a strategic titles change was needed to cover up an exposed nipple. D2D wasn't happy with it. :D

There are 9 short stories plus the longer multi-part "A Succubus for Social Justice" story. I broke that into 4 "acts" so I can pretend the book has 13 "stories". Superstition, ah.

Here's 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...

I hope you enjoy the book. Let me know your thoughts below (and especially if you run into any formatting or buying issues I might have missed).

This is going to be an odd one considering this is a supposedly a "short story collection", but please avoid posting spoilers. It's a bit more than a collection of "standalone" short stories...

Excerpt - Outcall with a Succubus

The new collection A Succubus for Social Justice officially out tomorrow.  It can be pre-ordered in ebook form here and the print version should also go live tomorrow.  Here is an excerpt from another one of the new stories.

This is from "Outcall with a Succubus", which is a direct sequel to the very first Nicole story, "Incall with a Succubus". In this, Nicole provides an outcall rather than incall service. There are also a lot of other shenanigans going on. The viewpoint protagonist isn't aware of them, but hopefully the reader will be able to figure out what's actually going on (you'll understand when you read the whole story). Once again, Nicole isn't being completely truthful...


"Do you have a spare room?" Nicole asked.

He took her to another room two doors down.

"It's in the middle of refurbishment," Newman said.

It would be more accurate to say it was at the beginning of refurbishment, and had been for some time.  It was originally going to be a children's room, but then Geneviève had... died.  Newman still didn't know what he wanted to do with it.  The walls were half painted.  There wasn't even a carpet on the floor.

"Maybe a bit too basic," Newman said.  "Not very comfy."

"No, it's perfect," Nicole said.

She walked in and looked around.

"Hold on," Newman said.  "I think I have an air mattress stored away somewhere.  It'll be better than doing it on the floorboards."

"That won't be necessary," Nicole said.  "I brought some kit with me."

She placed her chic black handbag on the floor and unzipped it.  The first items she removed seemed commonplace enough.  They looked like regular tealight candles.  Nicole placed them around the empty spare room.  What was less regular was how Nicole lit them.  She didn't have any matches or anything like that.  Instead, she just touched the wick with the tip of a long fingernail and it sparked into flame.  One of the advantages of being a hell demon, Newman supposed.

The candles also weren't as regular as they initially appeared.  After being lit, they produced copious amounts of scented pink smoke.  The room started to fill up with a pink haze.  The perfumed smoke also had an effect on Newman.  His head started to feel comfortably warm and fuzzy.  The fumes had a more dramatic effect... downstairs.

"You should take them off," Nicole said, glancing at the tented front of Newman's trousers.  "Before they get uncomfortable."

Yes, that would be a good idea, Newman thought.  His erection was feeling constricted.  He started to take his clothes off.

He paused his undressing when he noticed Nicole take a strange item out of her handbag.  It looked like a black egg made out of glossy black rubber.  Nicole held it in her palm and positioned her hand between her legs.

She turned to Newman.

"You can watch if you like, but I should warn you.  This might look a little strange."

Nicole had already removed her underwear.  She squatted down and pushed the black egg up between the folds of her labia and into her vagina.  Then she held her pose—as stiff as a statue.

A black rubbery bubble emerged from Nicole's vagina, and slowly expanded out between her legs.  It looked like she was blowing up a piece of bubblegum, but with her sex rather than her mouth.  She leaned back and extended her wings as the black something unfurled and rolled out across the floor.  Until, with a soft sigh, Nicole pushed the last of it out.  It lay on the floor, wet and glistening, a strange black cushion about seven or eight feet in diameter.  It seemed to dry and settle until the shape became more distinct.

It looked like she'd given birth to a circular air mattress and Newman had to stifle a giggle at how absurd that sounded.

"I did warn you it would look unusual," Nicole said with a sheepish smile.

"I guess that's why I don't need to fetch the airbed," Newman said.

"It's a special air mattress," Nicole said, "impregnated with succubus magic.  The process to inflate it is a little unusual."

"Definitely unusual," Newman said, "and a little kinky."

"Oh good," Nicole said.  "I was hoping you'd use that word."

She stood up and a pulse of heat radiated from her body.

"I have a little confession to make."

She looked uncharacteristically embarrassed.

"It's difficult to explain as the terms are not exactly analogous, but I'm in the succubus version of in heat."


Read the rest in the full collection, out tomorrow!
