"Drug Induced Lust" by sventek (horror story sex) 7, 7, 8
"Drug Induced Lust" by sventek (sventek@jps.net) Guest reviewed by Poison Ivan. I read this story and was immediately reminded of "The Bedpost" by Michael K. Smith, which is odd, because I haven't read "The Bedpost." Which just goes to show, some stories are so powerful that you're reminded of them even when you're not quite sure what they are about. This story begins with news of Melinda's apparent suicide at the hands of a bedpost. From there, things begin to get a little creepy. Natalie, Melinda 's former friend, is bent on figuring out what Melinda was up to prior to her untimely demise. And what better way to learn what was in Melinda's head than retracing Melinda's footsteps? The sex is mostly masturbation. From the physical descriptions, I suppose you could say the masturbation is standard ASS stuff. But this is not an ordinary masturbation scene. It made my skin crawl. Sventek has written the beginning of a fine horror story. I do want to point out one of the best spell-checker gaffs I've seen in a long time. "You could tell that they had closed all the drapes in the house... which gave it an Erie feeling all on its own." Erie? As in the Great Lake? Or does he mean the city in Pennsylvania? Since the story isn't finished, it's hard to give it a final grade, but I like the way it's heading. If Sventek were to finish the story, the Venus and Poison ratings would be higher. Ratings for "Drug Induced Lust" Athena (technical quality): 7 Venus (plot & character): 7 Poison (appeal to reviewer): 8 |
