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...

"A Succubus for Social Justice" is out!
Thursday, November 13, 2025
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!

Excerpt - Mage vs Succubus Slime
A Succubus for Social Justice is out at the end of the week (and the ebook can be pre-ordered here). To build up the hype, here's an excerpt from another one of the new, collection-exclusive stories.
I was playing around with some litfic conventions with this one (where characters know they are in an RPG and are aware of the stats and game mechanics). I felt that would be a good excuse to depict the classic RPG succubus level drain (albeit from a slime girl with similar powers). However, it might not necessarily be as it appears...
"He's feisty," the pink slime girl said. "Let's get him up off his feet so he can't do anything."
She gathered up her amorphous body around him and lifted Mage up off the stone floor. Now he was totally fucked. His arms and legs kept thrashing ineffectually as he was tipped on his ass and suspended in the blob of pink jelly. He was stuck like an insect on a water droplet. The monster's digestive juices were already starting to work on his robes. The edges were fraying and holes were starting to appear.
Fuck. That was epic gear. It was going to cost a fortune to repair.
"Hmpth. All that undignified thrashing is rather unsightly," the succubus complained. "Volumphtia, drain his stamina."
"As you wish, Mistress," the pink slime girl said.
She turned back to Mage with a lascivious smile.
"Stamina Drain," she said, her plump lips bunching up in a suggestive pout.
The jelly moved around Mage's body. It pressed up close and rubbed against his flesh. It felt like a massage, and not one of those clean sports massages either. A green glow formed around Mage's body and then flowed up into the slime girl's torso. Her substantial bust swelled as if she was taking a deep breath, but it was that strange green energy she inhaled into herself.
Mage's green stamina gauge dwindled away to nothing, and—unlike what should happen—stopped replenishing altogether. It had a more tangible effect on Mage. Without stamina, he lost the ability to struggle or even move at all. All he could do was lie limply within the pink jelly.
"Ah, that's better," the slime girl said. "Now you just lie back and I'll make you comfortable."
She reached over to fluff up a jelly pillow for Mage's head.
This was all... weird, Mage thought. It did feel surprisingly comfortable, as if he was lying in a warm bath rather than a giant slime monster.
"Let's dissolve away all those annoying clothes so you can be naked like me," the slime girl said.
A giant slime monster filled with acid, Mage thought with discomfort. The durability on his very expensive epic robes went to zero as they frayed away to nothingness. His flesh would be next...
The slime girl must have read his mind.
"What, you think I'm going to dissolve you as well," she said. She looked mortified. "That would be horrible. No, my acids only work on dead or inorganic matter like robes and armor."
A slime that only dissolved clothes to make people naked? What perv had designed this place?
Whatever she'd done with her Stamina Drain, it must have also debuffed his max stamina down to zero, or close to zero, as well. It was replenishing, but only a little sliver at the bottom of the bar. Not enough to allow Mage any useful physical actions.
All he had left was his items. The slime absorbed any magic he tried to cast, but what about magic items. He had a teleportation stone, but it was just the basic version. Using it required sacrificing all his unspent experience, and Mage was so close to level 113. Mage didn't really want to use it unless it was a last resort.
There had to be something he could do. Come on, think. Mages could do everything, that was why they were the best class.
The slime girl glanced over to the succubus on the throne. "Magic drain?" she asked.
"Yes, you can drain his magic," the succubus said.
"Oh yummy," the slime girl said.
She turned back and leaned over Mage. She stuck her hands into the mass of pink jelly. Her face twisted in concentration. "Magic Drain."
The warm jelly was in motion around Mage's body again—caressing, rubbing. This time a blue glow seeped from Mage's body into the surrounding pink jelly.
His blue magic bar started to decrease at an alarming rate.
Shit. He needed some MP to activate the teleportation stone. His last resort was quickly becoming no resort.
He activated his Stone of Teleportation: Basic and said "Home."
Nothing happened.
The slime girl lifted a hand out of the mass and wagged a finger at Mage.
"Ah ah. No magic allowed while you're inside me," she said.
She sank her hand back into the blob. More blue energy poured out of Mage's body and seeped into the surrounding pink slime. The slime girl's big boobs swelled and ebbed as if she was taking deep breaths. The blue light swirled within the main blob before flowing up into the slime girl's torso.
"Ah, so much."
She accepted it with sighs that sounded suspiciously like orgasmic moans.
The draining process also felt suspiciously pleasurable. Within the blob, Mage felt he was getting an all-over massage. One of the naughty ones. Even the more intimate parts of his body weren't spared. That, the slime girl's erotic sighs, and the sight of her big naked boobs bouncing right above him triggered a predictable response from his body. His penis started to lengthen and swell up in erection.
The slime girl noticed and paused her drain.
"I can suck it from there if you want. It will feel really nice."

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...

Here's the usual blurb:
Who is the lucky one – the man given sensual pleasure beyond his dreams, or the succubus that ensnares and drains him?
Dangerous and delectable sirens abound in M. E. Hydra’s sixth collection of horror erotica. Within these pages you’ll find thirteen tales that will tempt, tease, titillate and terrify. Read and enjoy as dark temptresses weave their seductive webs and draw in their (un)fortunate prey.
In “A Succubus for Saint Patrick’s Day” a down-on-his-luck gambler thinks his fortune has changed when a magical succubus comes to his aid. A strange agency provides an unusual service in “The High-School Sweetheart Removal Agency”. A researcher has a dangerous and highly sensual encounter with an alien creature in “A Real-Life Goo Girl”. In “Number 66” an expat searches for an unusual girl in the fleshpots of Bangkok. An accomplished thief falls prey to a shadowy guardian in “Rogue vs Lamia”. A rich man gets the bigger dick he’s always wanted in “Crabs”, only to discover the treatment has some alarming side effects. And finally, a young man gets a surprise when he tries to rape the wrong victim in “Joe Boyega Picks a Bad Night to Become a Rapist”.
They'll give you pleasures beyond your wildest dreams, and terrors beyond your darkest nightmares...
This is the last of the ebooks that needed republishing after my previous publisher closed at the end of last year. As with the others, I've given it a new cover and added an afterword that gives a behind-scenes look at how the stories were written.
Some of the stories (in slightly rougher form) can already be found online on places like Literotica. To make the collections worth buying, I always add some stories that can't be found anywhere else. This includes the eponymous story "A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day", where the nameless succubus from the succubus tablet is sowing chaos again. "A Special Tube of Lube" is a new story with Eryx and Eunectes and calls back to their first appearance as they return to collect a debt. I try again to write pulp fantasy with "Rogue vs Lamia". "Crabs" has appeared in another anthology, but you can enjoy it in all its nastiness here. There's also the obligatory Nicole story (with a title that got me in trouble at Kobo), plus a couple of other original stories (one of which with a title that is clearly too long, but also throws some hints as to what the witch Annette Brite is up to with her succubi).
This is the 6th and last of my old collections. All of my books are now back on sale. The next time I make one of these posts it will be for a brand new collection. The 7th collection is currently in progress and hopefully I'll be able to unveil that soon.
In the meantime, A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day is (back) out today and I hope you enjoy reading it!

Succubi and other monstrous femme fatales abound in M. E. Hydra’s fourth collection of wild, warped and wickedly dark erotica. Lie back and enjoy as alluring sirens ensnare helpless prey in thirteen weird tales of sex and horror.
A drummer’s plans to separate his mother from her boring partner go horribly awry when he asks “A Succubus for Freedom”. An arrogant massage parlour reviewer is taught a lesson by a creature of myth in “Naga Massage Review”. In “Come on the Candle” a student upset over a recent breakup summons a succubus during an arcane rite of cleansing. A young man discovers “What Bad Boys Get For Christmas” after he is abducted by some extremely naughty elves. “Riding the Medusa” details an unorthodox and risky form of recreation for bored soldiers stationed in an adjacent dimension. And finally, a shy man in his thirties finds his virginity and more under threat after he’s “Locked in with a Succubus”.
You will be surprised, shocked and aroused by these and other tales of dark temptresses. They'll give you pleasures beyond your wildest dreams, and terrors beyond your darkest nightmares...
As you might have figured out by the amount of posts over the last couple of months, my original publisher, Excessica, closed down, so I'm self-publishing all my old books under my own account. To mark the occasion I've redone the covers and added new afterwords with some inside insight on the stories. If you already have the original, you probably don't need this, but I'm not going to say no to the extra royalties if someone wants to pick them up to support my writing.
Some of these stories are up on places like Literotica. The versions in the ebook can be considered the final(ish) edits. There are also a number of stories that do not appear anywhere else. The succubus tablet shows up again in "A Succubus for Freedom". I try to emulate Robert E. Howard with "Barbarian vs Succubus". Annette Brite is up to her usual tricks in "Come on the Candle". And there are a pair of H-space stories - "Onychophoral Dreams" and "Riding the Medusa".
It's out now and I hope you all have fun reading these sexy (and weird!) tales.

A drummer’s plans to separate his mother from her boring partner go horribly awry when he asks “A Succubus for Freedom”. An arrogant massage parlour reviewer is taught a lesson by a creature of myth in “Naga Massage Review”. In “Come on the Candle” a student upset over a recent breakup summons a succubus during an arcane rite of cleansing. A young man discovers “What Bad Boys Get For Christmas” after he is abducted by some extremely naughty elves. “Riding the Medusa” details an unorthodox and risky form of recreation for bored soldiers stationed in an adjacent dimension. And finally, a shy man in his thirties finds his virginity and more under threat after he’s “Locked in with a Succubus”.
You will be surprised, shocked and aroused by these and other tales of dark temptresses. They'll give you pleasures beyond your wildest dreams, and terrors beyond your darkest nightmares...
As you've probably figured out, I am in the process of republishing my old short story collections with new covers and an afterword offering some behind-scenes information on the stories.
While most of the stories can be found in some form up on Literotica, these are the finalised versions (after a good edit) and some stories, like the eponymous "A Succubus for Freedom", can only be found in this collection.
The official (re)publication date is Friday next week (26th Aug). I hope people have fun reading the collection then!

"A Succubus for Halloween" is out!
It's publication day! (Or rather, second publication day).
My 3rd erotic horror short story collection, A Succubus for Halloween and other tales of Terrifying Temptresses, is now available as an ebook.
You can pick it up here:
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Succubus-Halloween-other-Terrifying-Temptresses-ebook/dp/B0B8XNZGN9
Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/a-succubus-for-halloween-2
Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-succubus-for-halloween-m-e-hydra/1104316352
Apple: https://books.apple.com/gb/book/a-succubus-for-halloween/id6443244356
Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/98067
Here's the obligatory blurb:
Tempting, wanton, enticing, gorgeous... lethal.
Halloween is a time for chills and thrills. A time for femme fatales to sharpen their claws and take to the night in search of fresh prey. Cuddle up in front of an open fire as M. E. Hydra brings you a delectable dirty dozen tales of ravishing succubi and other sensual predators.
A man uses a succubus as instrument of revenge in “A Succubus for Halloween”. An unusual treatment for claustrophobia is prescribed in “Naga Special Massage”. In “The Pearls of the Mediterranean” a group of holidaying lads discover an exotic nudist beach with a secret. Things get wet and slippery while “Oil Wrestling a Succubus”. Against a backdrop of demonic invasion, a soldier is subjected to the fleshy pleasures of “Capramendes, the Milkmaid”. And finally, a doctor finds a sexy supernatural companion for “A Halloween Party with a Succubus”.
Sit back and enjoy these and other tales of weird, wanton and wicked temptresses. They’ll give you pleasures beyond your wildest dreams, and terrors beyond your darkest nightmares...
This is a republication of the title I had out through Excessica. Sadly, Excessica is no more, so I'm putting the old books back up under my own author account. To mark the occasion I've redone the cover and added an afterword with some commentary on the stories. If you have the original you probably don't need to get this, but I'm not going to turn down the extra royalties if someone wants to pick it up to help me out.
Because I get questions asking if these are just the same stories that are up on Literotica. Some are originally from there, but the collections also contain stories that are exclusive to them and can't be found anywhere else. There are 5 exclusives in this one. "Oil Wrestling a Succubus" features some sexy femdom oil wrestling and links a couple of plotlines to my mobster character, Koontz (You'll also see the succubus from this in HoHH soon, hopefully). "Serving the Earth Mother" is quite possibly one of the grosser stories I've written (and probably wouldn't be allowed up on Literotica!). Of most interest will likely be the Nicole story, "A Halloween Party with a Succubus".
Anyway, it's out and I hope you all have fun reading it!

"A Succubus for Halloween" is available for pre-order
I'm still having a few problems at Amazon, but gradually powering through them. My 3rd short story collection, A Succubus for Halloween and other tales of Terrifying Temptresses is now available for pre-order at various places:
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B8XNZGN9
Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/a-succubus-for-halloween-2
Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-succubus-for-halloween-m-e-hydra/1104316352

This is another republication. With my previous publisher Excessica closing, I'm self-publishing all of my old books through my personal author account. To mark the republication I've added a new cover and an afterword with some behind-scenes commentary on the stories.
While a lot of the stories originally showed up on Literotica and other places, there are some stories that can only be found in this collection, including the very nice Nicole story, "A Halloween Party with a Succubus".
As before, 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 official (re)publication date is this Friday (12th Aug). I hope people have fun reading the collection then!

A Succubus for Valentine's Day is out! (sort of)
My 2nd collection, "A Succubus for Valentine's Day and other tales of Perilous Pleasures" is now out (sort of).
Here is the obligatory blurb:
Alluring, exotic, delectable, sexy... dangerous.
M. E. Hydra returns with a second collection of thirteen sizzling stories featuring seductive succubi, amorous aliens and other sexy femme fatales.
“A Succubus for Valentine’s Day” shows the perils of letting a succubus play cupid. Two tourists discover a dark secret lurking in Amsterdam’s red light district in “Venus of the Red Lights”. In “Knight vs Succubus”, a knight battles for his life and soul against a cunning and seductive demon. A man finds out his pleasure planet of blue-skinned alien babes is not as it seems in “The Spiders of Thomisoidus”. And finally, a young man has a very special date in “A Summer Dance with a Succubus”.
You will be enthralled, aroused, and terrified in equal measure by these and other tales of wicked, sensual predators. They’ll give you pleasures beyond your wildest dreams, and terrors beyond your darkest nightmares...
This is my second collection of short stories, first published in 2011 through Excessica. I've republished it with a new cover and afterword (and a thorough editing pass to fix anything I missed the first time around).
You can find it at
Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/a-succubus-for-valentine-s-day
Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-succubus-for-valentines-day-me-hydra/1141813683?ean=2940166601001
Apple Books: https://books.apple.com/gb/book/a-succubus-for-valentines-day/id6443171589
It should also have updated at Smashwords, but check the preview first to make sure you're getting the updated version (the copyright page should mention cover art by Wombo AI and a 2nd edition date of 2022, which should indicate it's the correct version):
https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/41826
I also uploaded it to Google Play this morning, so it should go live there in a couple of days. Check my author page:
https://play.google.com/store/books/author?id=M.E.+Hydra
Where it isn't currently available, sadly, is Amazon. I'm working on it and hopefully will have it available at some point, but I'm having to deal with staggering levels of incompetency from Amazon KDP's support department. I'll put up a post describing my 'experiences' in full grisly details in a few days. Kafka-esque nightmare doesn't even begin to cover it.
UPDATE: The problems at Amazon appear to have been resolved. You can now find it there as well:

A Succubus for Christmas is out!
It's publication day! Or rather, second publication day. My 1st collection, "A Succubus for Christmas and other tales of Devilish Delights" is now live on Amazon (and other ebook stores) and ready to buy. You can find it here:
https://www.amazon.com/Succubus-Christmas-other-Devilish-Delights-ebook/dp/B0B66LRCT4
And the obligatory back cover blurb:
Beautiful, seductive, enthralling, sensual, irresistible... deadly.
The succubus is an enduring icon of myth – a demon that seduces and sleeps with her prey before taking their life and soul. In this collection M. E. Hydra brings you thirteen erotically charged tales of sexy succubi and other exotic creatures.
In “A Succubus for Christmas” a man discovers his surprise sexy gift also possesses a dark side. “The Masterton Covenant” asks how much would you risk for one night of perfect pleasure. Four men are taken to a very special establishment in “Flesh Pitchers of Prague”. A tough demon slayer discovers why ‘men can’t fight them’ in “Slayer vs. Succubus”. A man is drawn into a deadly yet delectable web by a sexy spider woman in “Arachne’s Web”.
You will be enthralled, aroused, and terrified in equal measure by these and other tales of dark, seductive beauties. They’ll give you pleasures beyond your wildest dreams, and terrors beyond your darkest nightmares...
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.
The others will follow over the next few weeks. I'm also hoping I'll kick my lazy ass in shape and get that brand new 7th collection finished before the end of year as well (or at least early next year).

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!

Story Inspiration - A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day
And it's onto the last of my collections - the 6th one, "A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day". This is another of the irregular Q'n'A posts I've been doing. If you have any questions about stories in this collection or anywhere else, fire away below.
As a reminder, here are the stories from that collection:
1) A Succubus for Saint Patrick's Day *
2) The High-School Sweetheart Removal Agency
3) A Special Tube of Lube *
4) A Real-Life Goo Girl
5) Busted Bankster
6) Number 66 *
7) Rogue vs Lamia *
8) The First Time
9) Snared, Sucked and Slurped
10) Pussy-Wrapped
11) The Night Doyle Lowry Saw a Terrible Thing and was Sucked into a Quagmire of Sensual Depravity *
12) Crabs **
13) Joe Boyega Picks a Bad Night to Become a Rapist *
* exclusive to this collection
** also appeared in one of eXcessica's anthologies
This was still from that 'hot' period where I was outputting a lot of conventional short stories. Unfortunately, after this I got a little distracted with my blog and a few failed novel attempts. I did create a lot of H-space Bestiary short stories, but those need work to make them publishable (which is a plan I have at some point).
I didn't quite get ahead of the monthly HoHH work. That's probably going to go right to the end of the month. I still need to take some time off to get the collections back up. I think I might use June for that and maybe also see if I can finally get that 7th collection together.

Story Inspiration - A Succubus for Remembrance
Continuing my impromptu Q'n'As about stories in my collections. We're now at the 5th collection: "A Succubus for Remembrance".
Here's the list of stories from that collection:
1) A Succubus for Remembrance *
2) The Skinning Knife **
3) Vernon the Volunteer *
4) Trent the Traitor
5) Hugh the Hero *
6) Slugjob *
7) Iron Girders and Steel Springs
8) Ways to Break a Good Man #1 *
9) Ways to Break a Good Man no.2
10) Ways to Break a Good Man 3 *
11) Vampiric Boobies
12) Street-Walking with a Succubus
13) Nazi vs Succubus ***
* exclusive to this collection
** also appeared in eXcessica's "Colors" anthology
*** I'm pretty sure if I tried uploading this one to Literotica I'd be banned for life :D
If you have any questions about the inspiration behind or about anything that happened in these stories (or anything else), ask away below.
This was from a relatively 'hot' period of short story writing, so quite a few exclusives in this collection. I'm still trying to get these collections back up ASAP, so people that haven't read them before can catch up. I was hoping to tick away with it alongside working on House of Hellish Harlots, but that hasn't worked out so far. What I'm planning to do is get the regular monthly release for HoHH ready early, then spend a couple of weeks focused purely on all the nitty-gritty of formatting the manuscripts and uploading the collections to the various ebook sites.
ETA: Blogger seems to be eating comments again. I don't know why. I'm getting email notifications of comments, which then don't show up here. If you're having problems posting, if I get the post through email, I'll repost it and answer the questions. This is the site doing this. I don't delete comments unless they're abusive or spam.

Story Inspiration - A Succubus for Freedom
After a slight pause to Covid and getting other things back on track, it's time to continue with the impromptu Q'n'As about the stories from my various collections. We're now up to the 4th collection: "A Succubus for Freedom".
For a reminder, here is the list of stories from that collection:
1) A Succubus for Freedom *

8) Onychophoral Dreams *
9) Naga Massage Review
10) Come on the Candle *
11) What Bad Boys Get For Christmas
12) Riding the Medusa *
13) Locked in with a Succubus
* exclusive to this collection
If you have any questions about the inspiration behind or anything that happened in these particular stories, fire away below.
As I mentioned, the last couple of months have been disrupted by Covid and other distractions. I'm trying to get up to speed again. I was blocked for a while trying to write the Story Inspiration segment for "A Succubus for Christmas". I've now got over and completed that. I need to prep the manuscript and give it a thorough editing pass. Once that's done, I'll get the collection back up on Amazon and other places ASAP.
