The Gentleman Incubus: A LitRPG Harem Series


E.M. Hardy - 2019
     Next thing he knows, he’s starting to feel a weird hunger that won’t let him be no matter how much he eats. As it turns out, he was assaulted by a Lust Demon while he lay there unconscious, and was himself changed into one when his digital assistant quarantined the threat to save him and disrupted its spell. As a result of the interaction between the sandboxed succubus and the game he was playing at the moment, Glenn now has access to a character sheet full with life points, stats and a long list detailing all his new abilities. All in all, it wouldn’t be that bad if he didn’t learn that those life points are directly tied to his sexual satiation, and should those points reach zero, he would die. Now a Fledgling Incubus, Glenn will have to obey the same rules as other Lust Demons to survive—that is to locate new preys and bed them at all costs. There’s a small problem though. Contrary to regular demons, Glenn isn’t about to just jump on unsuspecting women during their sleep and ravage them until death ensues. And thus, he probably won’t be able to draw enough life points, as killing their victims is the main way for his kind to satiate their hunger. His back against the wall, Glenn will have to explore alternative ways to earn his points and stay alive, and ultimately gain enough experience to level up and add new skills to his repertoire. But first things first, he needs to find women to test his new skills on and experiment. Join Glenn as he builds a harem of willing ladies and discovers that the key to his survival is to concentrate on their pleasure and bring them to orgasm after orgasm... Warning: this book includes harem elements, adult situations, game mechanics and explicit language. Read at your own peril.

The Necromancer's House


Christopher Buehlman - 2013
    We know where you are. And we are coming.”The man on the screen says this in Russian.“Who are you?”The man smiles, but it’s not a pleasant smile.The image freezes.The celluloid burns exactly where his mouth is, burns in the nearly flat U of his smile. His eyes burn, too.The man fades, leaving the burning smiley face smoldering on the screen.“Oh Christ,” Andrew says.The television catches fire.Andrew Ranulf Blankenship is a handsome, stylish nonconformist with wry wit, a classic Mustang, and a massive library. He is also a recovering alcoholic and a practicing warlock, able to speak with the dead through film. His house is a maze of sorcerous booby traps and escape tunnels, as yours might be if you were sitting on a treasury of Russian magic stolen from the Soviet Union thirty years ago. Andrew has long known that magic was a brutal game requiring blood sacrifice and a willingness to confront death, but his many years of peace and comfort have left him soft, more concerned with maintaining false youth than with seeing to his own defense. Now a monster straight from the pages of Russian folklore is coming for him, and frost and death are coming with her.
