Plot Summary
Dylan would rather be in a hotel, in fact he’d rather be anywhere than in the middle of nowhere; but it’s not safe to drive the winding mountain roads at night, so when the owners of a remote lodge offer to take him in, he has no choice but to stay the night.
The couple hosting him seem nice enough, and it’s better than sleeping in his car with wolves and bears roaming outside. The wife in particular seems to take a special liking to him, and since her husband is more than ten years her senior, Dylan wonders if he might be able to score with her.
But there’s something off about his hosts and their house, and his sense of unease only grows as the shadows lengthen and the setting sun gives way to darkness. As the night drags on, Dylan starts to get the feeling that his hosts see him as more than just a lost traveler.
He’ll be lucky to survive the night of ecstatic horror that awaits him.
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on October 16, 2022
Dylan’s travels take him to a strange place with a stranger couple. Rosie seems to like him and when he discovers what she wishes from him, the nightmare will just begin.
The work overall is mainly focused on aspects of horror with a sex scene mixed in, both of which really seem to have not a lot of direction or passion. The story moves very quickly from moment to moment, driving the characters together and then rushes off to climax with horror before fading away.
Rosie, who appears to be the succubus of the work, really doesn’t appear as anything like a succubus save for one short scene with Dylan. That scene itself is something of a induced nightmare which leads from the aspects of her being a creature of evil and then passes on to touch the other characters before her succubus aspects disappear.
It reads very much like a short horror movie that focuses on slasher aspects with some themes that lend themselves to bringing the story from having some erotica to dwelling on other themes and ideas. As such, the work drifts around the horror, trying to find a path to the next part of the story and the ending.
It’s somewhere between a mild horror story and some mild erotica as a whole. Rosie isn’t really a succubus save for one short passage. As a story about a succubus then, this really doesn’t read like one. Perhaps that’s in the storytelling, the rush from one scene to the next that left me wondering.
Two and a half pitchforks out of five.
This might have been far better if the story was expanded far more. Giving time for the characters to tell of themselves more, to get into the background of Rosie and her husband might have brought a deeper foreboding than there is.
