The Oviposition Chronicles - A Filthy Half Dozen

An omnibus collection of the first six Oviposition Chronicles, darkly erotic tales of egg implantation. The human body is the perfect cradle for bearing life. But not just human life.Over nameless eons, aliens have used us as host for their unknowable brood. For what safer place to lay their countless eggs than to hide them in the warm belly of a human female? Inside a fertile girl whose body is receptive, ripe for filling with the dread larvae of a slavering alien beast? An inquisitive girl who yearns to see her belly swell as new life grows within her womb? A naïve girl who secretly craves the wicked delights of being corrupted? A vulnerable girl who - even as she realises the fate that awaits at the bulging tip of the ovipositor - will still willingly come to have it done? Beware the cold night. For the alien lurks in darkness. And a woman is the warmest place to hide.

REVIEWS OF THE OVIPOSITION CHRONICLES: ARENA: "This series hits my sweet spot for near perfect erotica balance - just enough characterization, just dubious/reluctant enough consent, an attention to detail, and perfect length." MISSIONARY: "This is one of the eeriest tales I've read - and that's a good thing! The language is vivid and poetic, the touches of dry humor here and there are all the sharper for being so sparing, and there's a compelling blend of darkness and gentle affection throughout the story. Dark erotica doesn't need to be brutal or degrading to leave a haunting impression, as this story perfectly demonstrates." INTROMISSION: "Probably one of the best oviposition stories I've ever read." CARGO: "The ending is well done leaving just enough to the imagination."
