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!

Harlot Art Preview - Zuripai Suponji

I'm getting near the end of the harlot pinup art previews.  Not to worry, I've been writing new harlots over the past month and have just sent off the descriptions for a new batch of commissions.

This week it's Zuripai Suponji.



She's a big big lass.  Her speciality is whole-body paizuri.  One should take care to not get too absorbed in it...

Things are moving again with the House of Hellish Harlots project.  I've finally broken through the block I was having with the Imp Harem.  They are now written and typed up.  I'm hoping to get time implemented and released for the text-only version by the end of the week.

They are also the last of the Round 5 elites.  Once they are in I can start to look at opening up certain aspects.  For the text-only version that will mean expanding the number of playable rounds up to 8.  And for the art-version finally getting out that proper public demo.

A Succubus for Freedom - Out now in Paperback!

No hitches this time (as far as I know). A Succubus for Freedom is now live on Amazon and available to buy in paperback.


This is my 4th collection of erotic horror short stories, originally published in August 2012. I'm in the process of commissioning new cover art (from marwmellow) to replace the old AI-art covers, and using that as an excuse to get them back in print for the first time since my original publisher, eXcessica, closed down a few years ago.

Here's the full blurb:

You can’t escape... You won’t want to escape...

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...

Eve Satana, she of "The Biggest Tits in the World", also makes her first appearance here. I need to expand her "circus" at some point as the lore is pretty interesting.

I've also updated the cover art on the ebook version on Amazon and (hopefully) everywhere else. There are still some wrinkles on other book sites. I still need to properly link my Smashwords and Draft2Digital accounts and I think there are some shenanigans going on with Apple and B &N deboosting/hiding books distributed to them by Draft2Digital. I will try to get them sorted when I have a spare moment.

If you haven't previously checked out the collection, please give it a look. If you wanted a paperback version for your bookshelf, it's now possible (again).

Harlot Art Preview - Pavitra Titalee

My posting schedule is still a little all over the place.  I was a little busy yesterday.

Anyway, here is this week's harlot art preview: Pavitra Titalee.



Marwmellow drew her in a more psychedelic style to represent the player falling under her influence.  It adds a nice bit of variety to the harlot art.

I'm still in the middle of a writing frenzy to try and get the bulk of the Round 9 Elite scenarios done.  The smother high-priestess arachne is written.  I'm currently working on a nautical huntmistress for faction 5.  She has 3 aquatic "hounds" - a sleek mermaid, a bubbly crab girl, and a voluptuous sea anemone girl.  The mermaid and crab girl sub-scenarios are written and I'm currently midway through the sea anemone girl.

House of Hellish Harlots [art version] v0.019 update [Animations]

I should have posted this last week, but it managed to get lost in the shuffle.

I put out a new version of HoHH 1.5 (the version with art).  v0.019 is a small release that fixes the display CSS for .mp4 animations and adds animation for some of the harlot H-scenes.  It's AI-generated from marwmellow's artwork, so I've used it sparingly rather than on every page.  In all there are 17 animations spread across 11 harlots.

The update can be found on the houseofhellishharlots website under the Experimental tab here.  Hit the "Private demo" button.  The password can be found on either my Patreon or SubscribeStar.

As a taster, here's Couchelaxa in action:




Because I forgot to post this last week, I can also add that I posted a full mid-2026 roadmap for what still needs to be done for HoHH.  That can be found on Patreon here and isn't paywalled, so everyone should be able to access it.

It's still a fair bit of writing, but I've been making good progress on the Round 9 Elites, and once they're done it's just the final Queens and a handful of remaining harlots.

Harlot Art Preview - Sasori Oiran

This week's harlot art preview is the scorpion-tailed geisha assassin Sasori Oiran.



Art by marwmellow.

Sasori Oiran is a member of the sensuality faction and can function as both a skilled courtesan and deadly assassin.

I do have a nice back story for her.  She was summoned to 17th century Japan as a demonic assassin.  However, fearful of her power, her daimyo betrayed her and tried to have her killed.  For her revenge she unmanned him and killed his sons in front of him one by one.  Then without master, she terrorised the Yoshiwara district for a couple of decades before finally being banished by a clan of kunoichi.

Yeah, I think that would make a great novel/manga/movie.  It would also be very difficult to write as I'd need to do a ton of research on Edo-era Japan.

Maybe one day...

In the House, Sasori is a very dangerous high-tier harlot.  Her venom has a highly pleasurable effect on the human body, but is unfortunately fatal.

As for progress, the recent bout of Chaos Writing I indulged in to get things moving has resulted in me finishing the first draft for the first of the Round 9 elites - a latex-weaving arachne high priestess of The Sanctum of Strangulated Sighs.  To keep up to date with progress, please consider checking out my Patreon or SubscribeStar.

Harlot Art Preview - Squidgii & Squishii

For this week's art preview it's time to move onto the sensuality faction.

Squidgii and Squishii (or Squishii and Squidgii) are a pair of lovely cuddly slime girls.  They like to sandwich a man between their soft bodies and have him melt away in bliss.


Original art by marwmellow.

Writing on HoHH is a little chaotic at the moment.  I got blocked up while working on the Imp Harem, but had a burst of inspiration for the Round 9 Elites.  I'm currently trying to write as much of their scenarios as I can while that burst of inspiration holds.  As always, to keep up to date on the House of Hellish Harlots project, please consider following my Patreon or SubscribeStar.
