"A Succubus for Remembrance" is out!

It's another publication day!

My 5th collection of erotic horror short stories, A Succubus for Remembrance and other tales of Femme Fatales, is back up as an ebook.

You can pick it up from these ebook retailers.









And the usual 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...

This is the 5th of 6 collections I'm currently republishing after my previous publisher closed down last year.  To mark the occasion I've redone the covers and added an afterword with additional commentary 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 final(ish) edits.  As always there are some stories that don't show up anywhere else.  "A Succubus for Remembrance" is a slightly different take on the usual succubus tablet story.  "The Skinning Knife" originally showed up in one of Excessica's anthology and is a different type of horror story to my usual work.  "Hugh the Hero" closes out a triptych of hell-space stories.  "Slugjob" is... I have no idea what I was thinking there.  There are also two more "Ways to Break a Good Man" stories, although they're not connected apart from the title similarities.  Lastly, there's "Nazi vs Succubus".

I don't normally do the warning thing, but "Nazi vs Succubus" is pretty 'no-holds-barred' even for me.  If you read my stories mainly for the erotica content rather than the horror, I'd skip that one.

It's out now.  If you haven't already, I hope you enjoy 13 more tales of sexy succubi and monster girls.

Many-Eyed Hydra is on SubscribeStar!

I hope.

I think I've set it up okay, but there's always a chance I might have boomered something up.

I've been meaning to do this for a while and finally got around to it.  I know some people would like to support me, but have either ethical or technical problems with Patreon.  Given that Patreon has deplatformed people in the past with minimal warning, I felt it was also important to have a backup just in case their Trust & Safety Team decides to get Orwellian again.

I'm not sure how it will work out.  I'd like to give it a couple of months to see what they're like in terms of ease of payouts, etc.  If you're already on Patreon, don't jump across just yet.  If you're not but would like to support me (and receive early looks at new stories and game releases), I hope SubscribeStar meets your needs.

Currently, I've just added the latest "House of Hellish Harlots" release (v0.035).

Going forward I'm just going to be mirroring posts so both Patreon and SubscribeStar get the same posts and attachments.  You won't need to subscribe to both.

(I have no idea how I'm going to manage polls across the two sites.  Combine the numbers?)

Anyway, it's another funding option, and diversifying income sources seems pretty important nowadays.

Here's my SubscribeStar page:

Let me know if there are any obvious screwups.

Public Demo Version of "House of Hellish Harlots" Updated to v0.033

This is a short update that just adds the one new harlot - Kiki Sumoppai.  Unfortunately that month coincided with the battles with Amazon KDP's Content Review Team to get my short story collections republished, so I wasn't as free to devote as much time to HoHH as I'd have liked.

Here are some details on the new harlot:

Kiki Sumoppai
Known rather unflattering as 'Gas Balloon Tits Wrestler' until I gave her a proper name, she's a big-titted bimbo succubus that specialises in erotic 'wrestling'.  Wrestling gets the scare quotes for reasons you'll understand when you play her scenario.

She's intended as a Tier 3 harlot in terms of difficulty, which means she's very hard to survive.  You'll need some outside help to return from her room.

The public version of "House of Hellish Harlots" can be played here:
https://houseofhellishharlots.com/

Patreon is now two versions ahead at v0.035.  After all the problems with Amazon, I tried to make up for it with a very busy August.  That resulted in a v0.034 release containing the two harlots I couldn't finish in time for the end of July release (Huntress Levka and the arachne L'iaculatia).  I was also able to get two more harlots added in time for an end of August release (butterfly girl Pavitra Titalee and another erotic wrestler readers might remember from one of my short stories - Epicratea, the Ebony Succubus).

I'll be maintaining a two month gap between the public and Patreon releases from now on.  Living costs are going up and creator needs to pay his bills.

If you want the latest version and wish to support the project, you can find it here on my patreon.  All support gratefully received!

Whew.  That's been a busy couple of days.  I think I've even caught up on comments as well.

I hope you enjoy playing with all the lovely harlots HoHH has to offer.

(try not to die a horrible death.)

The obligatory blurb:

As you might have seen from all the recent posts, I'm republishing all my old short story collections with new covers and an afterword giving some insight on how the stories came to be written.

While most of them can be found up on Literotica, these are the finalised versions (after a thorough edit).  There are also some stories that can only be found in this collection such as the eponymous "A Succubus for Remembrance" and the (probably) too-extreme-for-Literotica "Nazi vs Succubus".

The official release date is Sep 9th.

"A Succubus for Freedom" is out!

It's publication day!  (Ok, second publication day.)

My 4th collection of erotic horror short stories, A Succubus for Freedom and other tales of Obscene Orgies, is now available as an ebook.

You can pick it up at these ebook retailers.

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B9ZW3LJJ

Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/a-succubus-for-freedom

Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-succubus-for-freedom-m-hydra/1112798196

Apple: https://books.apple.com/gb/book/a-succubus-for-freedom/id6443281359

Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/211054



Here is the obligatory 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...

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 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

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!
