I know he's my kid, so take it with a grain of salt if you wanna, but KING SORROW is one of the best terror tomes I've ever read. It's the GONE WITH THE WIND of horror! 🎃

It's time for #sludgepit hosted by @wolfehorror.itch.io 🚮🔞📚

In Their Hands is a 4.5k T4T erotic somno short story out now on Smashwords 🌶

Thank you Wolfe for the slide templates!!

#sludgepit #erotica #published
Graphics and text in various tones of pink around a book cover on a black background. The title in thick graffiti-like font reads: "Sludgepit." In each of the corners, different graphics in different tones of pink including stars, flowers, a mouth, and various trash. The story cover features white sheets with a grainy filter. The title reads: "In Their Hands. A t4t erotic somno short" in white font. At the bottom, in black font, "Rey Rider." A semi-transparent pink border around the cover sets it apart from the background. The tropes and tags, pointing to the cover with pink arrows, read: first-to-second-person PoV, strap-on fu*king, making your own movie, aftercare, eating p*ssy like the MC's life depends on it, established couple, squ*rting, T4T (enby x enby), processing trauma through k*nk. On the same background and with the same title, a rectangular semi-transparent bright overlay with a text body snippet from the story. The text reads: "I know precisely how you would react if you were awake, how you'd curl your back to me, arch your chest forward while crying for me to suck on your tits, how your hands would tangle in my hair, pull slightly until I chastise you. Then you would growl at me, but all of your attempts at projecting any sort of control would go out the window the moment I add two fingers. Not on your clit—not that you wouldn't enjoy it, but what I want right now is to fill you up, so they slide inside you. Between my cock and your cunt's wall, two fingers are hooked, spreading you open for the strap to pound, harder now but at a measured speed, shoving deeper with every moment you don't react."

ANNIHILATION x THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE WE LAST SPOKE

As a budding lunar colony, cut off from Earth, finds a warning left by ancient alien life, Dr. Gwynne falls for a young engineer determined to uncover the mysterious history of the moon—even if it means risking the colony.
PROTOTIQUITY novel cover by N. T. Edwards. Cover image is MOON’S SHADOW ON THE EARTH AS SEEN FROM THE MOON from A Study of the Sky by Herbert Howe (1896). Personal use only! A passage from the manuscript, “What was the last thing we said to each other before bed last night? I can’t remember, and that hurts more than the marrow tearing me apart from within. My world is going dark. The fog is gone, the shards are gone, the pain is gone. (Is this even recording, still?) I’m dizzy. I want to sleep. I can only hope I see the light again— or that, in some way this record might prove useful to someone, some time from now. #SLUDGEPIT happening Oct 17! All day! A pitch and hype event for LGBTQIA2S+ authors who write dark, taboo, morally gray, and stigmatized works!

TOXIC LESBIANS COLONIZE THE MOON!

My epistolary novel combines the toxic, sapphic dynamic of THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE WE LAST SPOKE with the unsettling, alien mystery of ANNIHILATION. Only this time, the humans are the invaders. And someone—or something—is expecting them.
