Unholy Embrace - a vampire novel - a succubus appears



The plot thickens as a succubus enters the story.

As I glanced at the people around me, I spied a blonde haired, woman wearing a low-cut, strapless, violet gown, staring at Nessa. Her pale face looked as if sunlight had never touched it. I wondered what was going on.

“Why is that woman looking at you so intently?”

“Because I am a threat to her,” she said, returning the woman's gaze.

“How so?” What's going on, I wondered.

“She's a succubus who has subjugated the man with her. She’s afraid I might expose her.”

“I thought succubi and incubi were creatures of myth.” I gulped. “Besides, aren’t they supposed to be incorporeal beings that come to their victims in the night?” One moment we enjoyed our intimacy, the next we discussed demonology about a woman not twenty feet away.

“They can only manifest themselves if they ingest enough energy. Even then, they usually maintain a solid state for short periods of time. Look at the man she’s with. See how white he is. His pallor is not from lack of sunlight. She’s drained a substantial portion of his life energy.”

“That's Harry, an acquaintance of mine. Is there something you can do to save him?” How could he have gotten himself entangled with a demon? 

“I can kill her. Even so, he might never be the same.”

“Is she dangerous to you?”

“Hardly. She can't possibly hurt me." The tone of her laugh chilled me.

“What are you going to do?”

“I'm going to tell her to leave him or I will destroy her.”

I still found it difficult to accept her lethal potential. Despite her grace and elegant allure, she was a powerful vampire. When she took a few steps forward, the woman whispered to Harry and they exited the garden.

Nessa turned to me and smiled, as if nothing unusual had happened.


 Unholy Embrace  is a swift paced, action-packed novel about the relationship between a mortal man and his immortal female vampire lover as they fight werewolves, vampires, and other creatures in their effort to kill a soul eating demon.

Sacred Circle by Neil Benson- a dark poem about a witch chased by demons


Sacred Circle

A woman dressed in white runs swiftly through the forest. Closely behind, dark, monstrous demons growl as they chase her. The demons knock down trees that are in their way. When she turns to look, she sees red eyes glaring with evil. Finally, she comes to a clearing and sits down.
 
 
I call to the goddess
to hear my prayer.
My life is threatened,
by demons most evil.

I sit on the earth,
and create a circle.
The lines are drawn,
and the blessings said.

Dark creatures draw near.
Soon I am surrounded.
Goddess, protect me now.
The demons draw closer.

Clouds form and thunder booms.
Lightning flashes across the sky.
Dark shapes reach for me.
My death is near.

Lightning hits the earth,
and a demon disappears.
More and more lightning,
until they are all gone.
I thank the goddess,
for saving my life.
Within her circle,
I will always stay.
