"Come on in and sin." Yes, please!

'The Night Mother,' the upcoming release from Bram Stoker Award Winning Author--John Everson, is a welcome trip down the erotic horror genre lane. This standalone follow-up to Everson's 'NightWhere,' is not for the squeamish.

Told in multi-pov, this book tracks the stories of a fallen angel and her lover Mark, his ex Rae and her lover the Midnight Queen, and a dominatrix named Cassie who finds her path merging with them all. The seemingly mythical underground bdsm club is always on the move and the only way in is by invitation, but getting out is even harder once NightWhere takes an interest in someone.

As the events play out, the scenes get more and more gruesome, and you will quickly realize Everson isn't bound by much in the way of limits. There are no safe words here, not for those being admitted beyond the walls of the club.. and not for any of us.

While this is fantastic for me, I know such graphic depictions can be difficult for others, so make sure you know what you're getting into before picking up the book. I discovered erotic horror via the old Hot Blood book series, so if you like those.. rest assured.. you will enjoy this too.

Scenes of violence and kink ramp up considerably over the course of the tale. The first few are relatively sedate in my experience, but they grow in scope and spectrum to a very gruesome, intense level.

Personally, I had a blast reading this book and I applaud Everson for being able to keep up the rather aggressive pacing he set throughout the entire story.
