'Telltale' by Clare London
Telltale: Gothic Erotic Horror - Clare London

For it falls out that what we have, we prize not to the worth whiles we enjoy it, but being lacked and lost, why, then we rack the value, then we find the virtue that possession would not show us while it was ours.” ~ Much Ado About Nothing, William Shakespeare

Nicholas Webster is a very confused young man; the sad part is, he doesn't even know it. He has no one to guide him. Nicholas realizes at a young age that he's attracted to men instead of women but is never told why that is unacceptable. Nicholas is sent home from school after being caught with two young men. His parents are mortified, but still don't explain why he shouldn't indulge. His father beats him but never explains why he's being punished. In an effort to be rid of Nicholas, his father sells him to a local businessman, Simeon Allan, to be his secretary.

Nicholas has never been taught any skills, so he fails miserably. He also has no qualms about stealing and lusting after someone on staff. Simeon confronts him one day about all his foibles and why he should curtail them. Then he offers Nicholas a 'job' as his 'boy toy”. Nicholas embraces his position with vigor, there at Simeon's disposal. Nicholas resents being an employee rather than someone Simeon cares about. He doesn't take into account that even though Simeon 'uses' him, he also provides many comforts Nicholas would otherwise not have. He doesn't see this as an expression of caring. When Simeon's young nephew, Benedict comes to visit, Nicholas mistakes lust for love and obsesses about Benedict, fantasizing about this being his chance to have someone who cares about him. Unfortunately, Benedict is not the businessman that his uncle is and Simeon knows this. He won't give Benedict what he needs to promote the business so Benedict decides to leave. Desperate to keep him there, Nicholas comes up with a plan to make that happen.

It's difficult for me to believe that someone doesn't automatically know right from wrong, therefore, isn't capable of making logical, moral choices, but Nicholas is one of those people. Not being taught how to make appropriate decisions, either by example or teaching, he simply doesn't have the reasoning power to sort it out properly. As narrator, I saw what was going on in Nicholas's mind and it wasn't a comfortable place to be. Because Nicholas has no discretion or power of reasoning, it is inevitable that some tragedy will befall him. Although I hoped, for his sake, Nicholas would somehow come to realize that what he had was perhaps not ideal, but nonetheless better than he would have had, and grow to appreciate it before it was too late. Sadly, it never happened. If you enjoy a suspenseful, spooky gothic horror mystery which keeps you on the edge of your seat and gets your heart beating rapidly with anticipation, despite the fact that you know what's probably going to happen, then you may like this story. Thanks, Clare, for the perfect Halloween story.

[REVIEW] Kraken by M. Caspian

KrakenKraken by M. Caspian
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Recommended by: Lisa Henry & Vivian Archer
Recommended for: Tentacles sex fans who also enjoys horror thriller and mystery.

Read from December 25 to 29, 2013 — I own a copy

 


Cannot be less than 5 Stars!
It was a beguiling yet horrifying piece of erotica with strong plot and characters.
Starts with bang, ends with a Super Bang!


Kraken ticks off just about all of my tent-sex requirements. It's almost like the author heard my lamentations on the lacking I found in most of of my tent-sex books. It scored so near to what I want, it is a tad uncanny in a way. Like the power above decided to answer all my wishes at once. I want slick and slimy action, there it is! Even gooey and sticky was there. How about some erotic sounding by organic matter? Oh yes whatever you said master! I could only wish for that particular scene to be longer though. I am greedy. Yes.

The story was so thick with mystery, layers upon layers of it. Characters acting suspicious and ominous. It was totally unsettling yet you can't wait to find out why. Needless to say it was a gripping story, so compelling and satisfying. Would definitely please many horror addicts not to mention mystery and psychological fans too. That is, of course, provided they are into M/M noncon tentacles sexing up!

About the tentacles sex aspect, all was kinky and erotic it gives me goosebumps kinda way until.... I reached about 70%, then BOOM! Hell breaks loose! And I am starting to question the author's motive on writing this book. Was it a secret plot to convert us tentacles fans to staunch supporter of normal suction-cups-free sex? I am saying this because what comes after that point onwards was far... far...... from erotic. If I have nuts, it would have retreated posthaste with no hope of returning. Horrifying can't even come close to describe what the poor protagonist has gone through. I shudder while recalling some gruesome, sickening events that shocked my core. If you are the sensitive and squeamish kind, you might want to reconsider your plan on reading this. Then again, you may possibly survive just like weakling ol' me did and end up with one hell of an experience to share. I am very much wearing it like a shiny badge of honor.

I have to agree with Lisa's review that the writing was superbly evocative and the visual was utterly enthralling. I felt like I am walking along side the characters in that eerie woods, swimming in the dangerous dark blue sea and then bursting my heart running away from that berserk sea monster in pursuit of the good guys. Whew! I had to stop reading for awhile to calm my poor heart before I get a heart attack.

The visual sensation is just too strong to avoid being affected by it. I promise you would feel breathlessness throughout your reading. I suffocate along with the MC each time his breath was forcefully taken away. Drowning with him in his agony.

Not only was the world-building amazing, the characters are also well-built. They are certainly round characters, shows prominent growth and each of their voices are distinct. Who has my heart? It will be Will, our long-suffering protagonist. The author has ran him through the mill over and over again. My heart was pulverized along the way. THIS is what a good book should do to you. Oh and there's a sociopath in this book. He is fascinating to me since I like psychological element. Yes, the cray-cray captivates this moth.

If you want a tent-sex book with strong plot coupled with intense mixture of gripping horror and mystery elements, this IS your book.

And such a daring book it was. Would positively look great on the big screen. Both horrifying and satisfying. Not a chance in the world I would ever forget this amazing story. It is now forever etched upon my mind.

 

 

Dear Author, a big thank you for this crazy adventure. I had the wildest ride ever! May I request a tentacle non-con with mpreg next? Please? Pretty please, please?
