And Psychopaths Anonymous is born. Friends of Maeve.  Now in a serious relationship, Maeve wants to keep the group a secret. But not everyone in the group adheres to the rules, and when a reckless member raises suspicions with the police, Maeve’s drinking spirals out of control.  She needs to stop killing. She needs to close the group.  But Maeve can’t seem to quit the things that are bad for her, including her new man… A scathing, violent and darkly funny book about love, connection, obsessions and sex – and the aspects of human nature we’d prefer to hide – Psychopaths Anonymous is also an electrifyingly original, unpredictable thriller that challenges virtually everything. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Praise for Will Carver ‘Gobsmacking, beyond dark, and so much fun.

Spermjackers From Hell


Christine Morgan - 2017

It’s not like it’s going to work. Monsters aren’t real. We were wrong. Really fucking wrong. The demon is not what we thought and it’s making horrible things happen. People are cutting into each other's junk, some guy is fucking his dog, and sex slugs from Hell are raping us and stealing our semen in order to build a goddamn hive! We didn’t mean for any of this. But we’re gonna fix it... Just after a few more beers and bong hits. From Christine Morgan, author of Mythic Lust: the Minotaur, and The Raven’s Table: Viking Stories, comes a sleazy and deviant satire about sex, occultism, and nerd culture.

Abducting the daughter of the high king and queen is only the first step. Kahleena Danann was supposed to be a mouthy, spoiled princess. She should have been on her knees, pleading for mercy.

He’s obtusely hardheaded.There’s violence, because how else will he understand she means business?There’s intensity because who doesn’t love some escapades blended with sizzling undertones? Who am I kidding, there are no undertones. It’s going to be a wall-banging, bed-shaking, scorching fable of deceit, triumph, love-hate-ish (We don’t do that tender crude here) and endurance.If you're into this type of story, scroll up and click the buy link.This book has adult subject matter, graphic fighting scenes and is NOT meant for anybody under 18.

Core of Fear


Jonathan Brooks - 2019
    Caught after a record-breaking streak of murders, he was executed by lethal injection by the state, while thousands of his victims' grieving family members watched. That should’ve been the end of his emotionless and unfeeling existence – but it wasn’t. Sent to Hell – where he enjoyed himself entirely too much – he was singled out to become a Spirit Core, an invisible spiritual entity that eventually ended up back on Earth. At first unfamiliar to him, his new incarnation slowly revealed itself to have its own set of rules, following something not unlike the video games he used to program back when he was alive. At its root, he was tasked with invoking fear upon his new victims – but there was just one problem. Having never felt any emotions before, he had no idea what that meant. Contains LitRPG elements such as level progression and statistics.
