Juniper, an empath, fights to save two strangers after reality gives way to a hellscape on Earth. When chaos tears apart the city, she settles in with the darkness. Her job as a sex worker makes for easy living, as she can anticipate client emotion. She never imagines using her abilities to help anyone, until she meets Ashley Heard.

Ashley witnesses her father's murder at the hands of home invaders and is forced to flee a decaying city. When Juniper saves her, she has no choice but to follow the only adult who hasn't yet tried to kill her.

Meanwhile, a nameless twelve-year old boy chronicles his experiences in a deranged man's basement, all the time wondering about the fate of his friend, Ashley. Together with other captives, he plans an escape. However, once Outside, the survivors encounter monsters of a different kind.

Despite their hellish surroundings, three people manage to briefly connect in their efforts to navigate a strange and harsh New World.

[This story is horror Erotica/Dark Erotica] Alexis "Alex" Cross, an urban explorer and journalist with a reputation for diving into the darkest corners of the world, has always been mistaken for a man due to her androgynous appearance. This suits her just fine-it keeps people at a distance and lets her focus on uncovering the truth behind the mysteries she pursues. When she hears about Ravenhurst Keep, a decaying mansion hidden deep in a forgotten forest, she's immediately intrigued. The manor's sinister history-filled with tales of ghostly apparitions and unexplained disappearances-promises the story of a lifetime. But from the moment Alex steps inside, Ravenhurst Keep proves to be far more than she bargained for. The mansion, seemingly alive, traps her within its walls, and a brutal attack leaves her face scarred and her left eye destroyed. When she awakens in the basement, she finds her wounds mysteriously healed, but something is horribly wrong. Her left eye now reveals a horrifying new world-Ravenhurst Keep is filled with monsters, beings of unsettling beauty and terrifying power. These creatures, while seductive, are as dangerous as they are alluring, pulling Alex into a deadly dance where desire and danger are intertwined. Yet, they are not her only threat. The mansion is also home to other trapped souls-humans who have been twisted by the curse that binds them to this place. Seeing Alex as a rival, they hunt her relentlessly, driven mad by their own desperation to escape. Caught between the seductive pull of the monsters and the deadly wrath of the damned souls, Alex must navigate the mansion's ever-changing halls. Each step closer to freedom risks losing her humanity-and her very soul. "Hunted by Humans, Loved by Monsters" is an erotic horror tale of survival, where love and terror are inseparable in a nightmare that refuses to end.

Pearl Blankenship, an autistic investigative journalist, witnesses the end of the world. Before the nuclear fallout can kill her, a mysterious being offers her a choice: come with him or stay on a dying planet Earth. **** Dumuzi, the being who offered, is an Anunnaki: a descendant of humankind's ancient alien creators. It is his mission to wipe out what remains of humanity in a few short weeks, sparing only those with a thirst for knowledge and moral character. After becoming a journalist, Pearl was mocked online, arrested for trespassing, and challenged globally for her conspiracy theories. Two things she knows for a fact: mankind deserves a second chance, and staying on Earth sounds... well, hazardous. She hopes that by getting closer to Dumuzi, she might be able to change his mind about humanity, as he is a councilman with power. But it isn't going to be easy. Communicating? It's difficult for her. And he is cold, wary of humans, and has weeks left to live due to an illness that plagues him.
