The author Krystan Knight
Krystan Knight has been writing in the fantasy and hardcore erotic genre for a number of years. He is able to inspire his readership with compelling, easily readable literature and is not afraid to exceed the limits of their imagination.
In his works, the actions and the style of language appear almost taboo, but always with a reference to reality.
The succubus in mythology
In mythology, the succubus is described as a female alp and is thus the counterpart to the male incubus. Both beings are considered demonic, seductive and extremely lustful.
Through the sexual act, they kill their sexual partners by robbing them of their life energy. This happens at night without the victim noticing anything.
Succubus - fantasy, torture and erotic
The protagonist of the hardcore novel Succubus - Demoness of Lust is accused of murdering her husband, a noble count, shortly after their wedding night together. Typical of the dark ages of the Middle Ages, after her alleged act, she is decried as a witch and locked in dungeon.
"To the gallows with the witch now! I want her to pay for my son's murder. I want revenge for my son. Kill that damn witch now!”
Succubus - Demoness of Lust, page 12
There she is initially powerless against her torturers and their unbridled lust. Again and again they live out their dark fantasies about Cyris. But contrary to what might be expected, the protagonist likes her torments and not only that, she seems to be able to use her predicament for herself. Because a deadly power lies hidden in Cyris, that of the succubus, and this enables her to escape from the dungeon.
"His animalistic greed was both disturbing and appealing to her."
Succubus - Demoness of Lust, page 19
But her tormentors and other threatening persecutors are hot on her heels. Cyris, who at this point has no idea of her abilities, learns about a demon who also seems to have taken possession of her.
On her escape and the parallel search for answers about her own past, more dangerous and at the same time erotic adventures await Cyris. The outcome of the sexual act is always fatal for their opponents, despite this, neither they nor they can resist.
Not for the faint of heart
Krystan Knight finds clear, sometimes vulgar words in Succubus - Demoness of Lust, with which he describes the protagonist's adventures. What seems compelling to adult readers of erotic literature may put off readers of pure fantasy stories. Sexual oppression, power struggles and dark fantasies are woven into the fantasy novel by the author.
A basic act can be recognized throughout, but sexually influenced acts clearly take the lead. The linguistic style appears to be kept simple and impartial, which makes the story easy to read.

The cover is nicely designed and has been chosen to match the content of the story. Only letters were placed in the edging of the soft cover binding, which makes the cover look disorganized.
