Messalina: Devourer of Men (42 page)

Not all sex is romance or fun. Sometimes there’s desperation. Explore the deeper, darker aspects of love and want in "Bittersweet", Amber Hipple’s intensely emotive debut collection of tainted erotica. Be moved by the cycle of wanting to be wanted and the pain of wanting too much. "Bittersweet" is a lesson in reality; it’s what love and desire can be. Expect no "happy ever after" in these stories, but expect to be left wanting more.

Jim Brown, owner of Logical-Lust, says;
“Amber Hipple has come up with something quite out of the ordinary in ‘Bittersweet’. Gone is the sugary-sweet romanticism and the happy-ever-after, to be replaced by the profound emotions and outpourings that are real in love and sex. You’ll find your heart being wrenched apart by the yearnings and the despair of the characters, yet still be stirred and aroused by the sheer passion in the erotica she produces.”

BITTERSWEET
by Amber Hipple, is released in both digital (ebook) and print formats, and will be available worldwide through
www.logical-lust.com
, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and all good online retailers.

Crimson Succubus: The Demon Chronicles

By Carmine

“A few years back, I began receiving emailed submissions to the erotic literary ezine
Sauce*Box
from a writer known to me only as ‘
Carmine
’. These submissions were short pieces (‘flash-fiction’, if you will) detailing yet another ‘Tale of the Crimson Succubus’. Each was a stand-alone jewel, horrible, cruel, fantastically, outrageously, graphically sexual, but also somehow (dare I say it . . . forgive me, Carmine) charming. I liked them very much and published every one that was sent.

“Now I find that some these short tales along with longer pieces concerning the ‘adventures’ of the Crimson Succubus, and a third section concerning a mythical nymph Mytoessa who also becomes involved with the succubus have been collected together in one place—a delightfully, tastefully disgusting book,
Tales of the Crimson Succubus, The Demon Chronicles
by Carmine.

“This person, Carmine, is one sick puppy, but one with adorable eyes and floppy ears. The tales involve much blood- and semen-letting, murder, torture, deception and pain, but at the same time, I often want to laugh and wish that the creatures would appear for real, in front of me, so that I could see with my own eyes and even touch (very, very carefully, mind you) these monsters formed from the primordial slime of all of our great cultural myths.

“And of course, like all myths, these tales speak to our deepest fears, and hopes and fantasies . . . perhaps to archetypes from times before even the written word, times long forgotten in consciousness but remembered in the collective genetic code. I don’t know. Whatever. They’re a great read, an exciting read and one that will tickle your nightmares and daydreams long after you’ve put this book down.”
