This is a must read book. For those looking for clever creepy creatures taking a human, this is the book for you. The most disturbing one is from talented writer, Ms. Gregg. It isn't because it is scary. It's because it is erotically arousing with a very dark theme. The other stories are all well done with insidious undertones of demonic domination.

In Mating Season, Ms. Gregg titillates the reader with tentacle sex and forced breeding. This depraved story is well written with a focused plot. Th This is a must read book. For those looking for clever creepy creatures taking a human, this is the book for you. The most disturbing one is from talented writer, Ms. Gregg. It isn't because it is scary.

In Mating Season, Ms. Gregg titillates the reader with tentacle sex and forced breeding. This depraved story is well written with a focused plot. The characters are simplistic but this is fine because the sex scenes are fabulous. The non-con in addition to the sexual acts will be remembered for a long time. How can anyone top fisting, sounding and face fucking by tentacles? The poor boy tricked into bestiality with a creature is blazing hot. The details in his rape are erotically charged. Ms. Gregg does an excellent job with vivid depraved descriptions.

A close second in creepiness is Flesh and Song by Ally Blue. Once again, there are tentacles involved in this erotic m/m story. Ms. Blue creates a horrifying existent for a man making a pact with a demon. What is interesting is the long con in order to meet the ending the demon desires. The sex in this story is rough and non-con. The added element of fear increases the arousal. It's a kinky swamp thing creature who can make dreams come true. Ms. Blue is a new to me author whom I'm going to keep an eye on.

The rest of the authors, Ms. Hunter, Mr. Michaels, Mr. Hansen, Ms. Belleau and Mr. Schooler all write great stories mixing kinky sex with menacing monsters. All of the stories follow the theme of losing a soul due to the seductive offers of nightmarish beasts wearing a handsome mask. Each of the stories are tightly written. It's surprising how well they can elicit a sexual response with chilling villains. Each author dances the fine line between sexy and gross very well with attractive attributes. The reader can't help but enjoy the main character's downfall. With such captivating monsters providing tantalizing bargains, it's hard to say no. Even those with good intentions fall short and end up with punishing consequences.

Full review can be found at On Top Down Under Book Reviews.

This anthology has a little bit of everything. There's horror, forced sexual situations, as well as pretty much every other thing you can imagine. I wouldn't consider any of these really romance and of those that might be, I would say they all have HFN endings. There are monsters, spirits, tentacle sex, demons and even the devil himself. A nice anthology to be read during the month of October. However, if you are squeamish or of ...more

...ok so now I have read my contributor's copy and I am *delighted* to be in such excellent company. This collection is definitely not for the squeamish or for anyone with consent-related triggers, but if you like 'em dark we can do that. We can do that good and hard. ...more

Resurrection Man by Laylah Hunter – 3.5 stars: Great idea! I loved this feeling of uncertainty. I thought every minute something terrible would happen.

These tales have tails that slither between your legs and seek entrance to your cave, demanding you become a slave to their machinations. Come hither as they cause you to quiver, weaving their way past your defenses. They're relentless in their pursual to take by force what you have before given freely. They are very needy, but you need them more. They are witch-y in their ways, giving and taking, they play, but in the end, it is not only you who will fall to sin. The demons and dead play hard. ...more

With Halloween just around the corner the Bump in the Night anthology offers just the right amount of chills to make you think twice before going to sleep, or into a forest, or......well, you get the picture. With its vividly dark imagery and cruel twist to its erotic scenes, this is an unsettling group of stories that leave a lasting impression. Each story is set during a different time period with the evil ranging from man-made to otherworldly. The erotic m/m scenes are extremely graphic and n ...more
