Surrendering to the Beast

By Sally Bend

It had been fifty years since the war to end all wars, but in launching a final strike against the forces of pagan terrorism, the Church has become a terrorist state of its own, cut off from the rest of the world, and banished to suffer under its own apocalyptic darkness.

Disease and pestilence ran rampant among neglected sinners like Alexander and Kevin, cast out for their sexuality and sentenced to death for Kevin’s illness, but hope is said to lurk deep in the Pagan Provinces, where 'The Beast' is said to offer the ultimate cure . . . but only for those prepared to offer their ultimate surrender.

Surrendering to the Beast is a work of erotic horror and paranormal romance, a story about the lengths to which an Alpha male will go to save his husband. It a story of an act of ultimate, erotic surrender that, if it is to succeed, will change their future together.

Surrendering to the Beast is 11,000 words of Alpha submission, tentacle sex, and paranormal penetration. Adults only.

Introduction

One of the most dangerous questions a writer can ask of themselves is what if?

The question usually comes late in the process, at that point where the creative half of your brain hands the story over to the analytic half. The creative process is done, leaving your imagination free to wander in the background while you focus on spelling, grammar, and narrative flow.

That’s where you find yourself asking those dangerous what if? questions. Sometimes they are simple ones that lead you to make a minor edit, a change that improves the overall story. Sometimes they are more significant, requiring you to chase a new plot thread or a changed character through the story, bringing a hidden theme or idea to light. And, sometimes, they are changes that shake the very foundation of the story, requiring a complete rewrite.

The latter is what gave rise to the twin novellas, Surrendering to the Beast and Transformed by the Beast.

I won’t tell you which came first - I will leave that up to you to ponder, should you choose to give both stories a read. What I will tell you is that, gender differences aside, they remain the same story at heart, with the same theme of an Alpha male surrendering his sense of self in an intimate act of pure, heartfelt love.

To be honest, I’m not sure which story I prefer. Transformed by the Beast is the kind of story that most readers would expect of me, with an Alpha male’s love for his transsexual wife leading to an act of surrender that will change them both. Surrendering to the Beast is a story I am just as excited about, with an Alpha male’s love for his husband leading to an act of surrender that will change their future together.

Writing them in parallel made both stories stronger, and I think - I hope - the experience has made me a better writer. I hope you enjoy.

A cacophony of church bells cried out in the distance. Their angry echoes shattered against the
