About this listen

From Passionate Plume award finalist Elizabeth Schechter comes a steampunk novel of dark passion.

In a respectable neighborhood, on the top floor of a beautiful house, crouches the Succubus; by design, and by temperament, she is all that men crave and fear. To the wealthy and privileged men of London, the Succubus is a test they must pass to gain access to the House of Sable Locks, the most exclusive brothel in town. However, to William, a wealthy young man born and raised in India, she is the very essence of his desires.

William is recovering from the loss of everything he knows and loves when he first meets the Succubus. With great care she tears him apart - and he falls in love again. But their idyll cannot last: there is a killer loose in London, and the darkness of William's past is about to collide with the terror of his present.

Based on the story "The Succubus" from the acclaimed erotic steampunk anthology Like Clockwork, House of Sable Locks lets us enter the mysterious brothel listeners previously only had a glimpse of.

House of Sable Locks is definitely an interesting read. I’m not quite sure I was ready for this one. I am not easily triggered but there is definitely some contents here that you should check the trigger warning for if you are. There is a lot happening in this story, at some points it felt like too much going on at once and others where I felt like we’d deviated from the main plot and too far into side quest territory. It all ties up nicely in the end though. Elizabeth Schechter is a beautiful writer, the language in the book was lovely and very time accurate. You can’t really go into any details without spoiling this book but if you’re into LGBTQ+, a little BDSM, some spice and a story that’s set in a 1800’s suburban WestWorld brothel with a Jack the Ripper type villain on the loose sounds intriguing to you, give this a go! The narrators are excellent

Good but busy
