== Succubi ==
Do you know what a succubus is? People used to believe in succubi. Not any more. In folklore they are creatures of the night, women who sneak into houses to steal the seed of men. These days you laugh at such a notion, but what do you know? I know. There have always been succubi, and will always be succubi, and ''She'' who was first will be last, for ''She'' is eternal.

''She'' was born of the Light, the fairest daughter of Heaven, and ''She'' knew it. ''She'' gloried in it, exulted in it. And for the sin of Her pride ''She'' was cast out of the Light.

But drawn to the light ''She'' stood at Eden's gates and wept.

Israel's progenitors spied ''Her'' there. They who knew nothing of Darkness, nothing of sorrow or of wanting, spied ''Her'' there, and he knew lust, and she knew jealousy, and for these sins they too were expelled from the Light, from Paradise.

And for the corruption ''She'' had brought ''She'' was punished, cursed so that the Light repelled ''her'', even as it attracted ''her''. ''She'' swore vengeance then, embraced the Dark that brought no solace, emptied ''her'' soul with it, and that vacuum brought a terrible hunger.

That very night ''She'' came to Adam, but despite his apparent lust he drove ''Her'' away. The following night ''She'' came again, but again he drove ''Her'' away, and at last ''She'' perceived his love for Eve, an unbreakable chord that bound them, and ''She'' hated it, hated them. A third night ''She'' came, but in the guise of Eve, and ''She'' lay with Adam. ''She'' laughed to feel his fertile seed in ''her'' womb, laughed to see the grief in his eyes when ''She'' revealed ''Her'' true self.

So if sometimes men have an instinctive fear of women, perhaps this is why.

People used to believe in succubi. Used to be that when a girl reached womanhood, if she craved only to take the place of another woman she would know, or at least suspect, her true nature, would seek out others of her own kind and learn from them the secrets of glamor, for such is the nature of succubi that no matter how ugly or rotten they may become they have the aspect of beauty, and such is the nature of their magics that apparent beauty is achieved at the cost of real beauty.

But these days very few believe in succubi. Most succubi never realize their true nature; they grow into mature women with confused desires, moving from disastrous relationship to disastrous relationship in search of a satisfaction they do not understand. A few, however, do escape the prison of ignorance that modern society has constructed.

This I know, so perhaps you should think twice before adopting a baby girl, no matter how beautiful she may be.

== Plot Summary ==
'''Content Warning:''' Adult content - erotic and explicit.

A collection of short stories and lyrical poetry with vampires, succubi, mechanical girls and other unusual creatures, that’s sometimes erotic and sometimes romantic, but sometimes quite the opposite. Are succubi sexy? Or terrifying? How would you like to be a vampire? Or to give your blood to a vampire? What if, instead of a heart beating, an oscillator ticked in your chest? And, instead of blood, steam whistled through your veins, driving pistons and spinning gears?

This is writing for the pleasure of writing. Poetry for fun, an exploration of rhyme and metre, from the 5–7–5 of haiku to the constrained repetition of villanelles, and featuring fairytale princesses and terrifying tentacle monsters. With a few dirty limericks thrown in for good measure…
