Join host Zhanna Z and special guest voice Margaret D, reading the chapter “The House Call” from The Slut Life, Volume 6: Match, Cinder, Spark by the elusive and wickedly observant H.H., in this provocative episode of the Erotica Obscura Blog podcast. Known for blending philosophy with kink, H.H. chronicles his real-life entanglements with Lola Down—a nymphomaniac, exhibitionist, and self-proclaimed high priestess of carnal ritual. Denied for days by her lover, Lola books a sensual massage that quickly turns into something far more primal, voyeuristic, and true.

With Margaret D’s voice breathing life into every moan and murmur, this episode explores themes of denial, desire, domination, and surrender in their most intimate forms.

Buy Gods and Monsters, the art book by Bear X at ⁠Erosetti Press⁠!

Host Zhanna Zee is joined by special guest Lucia R for a deep and provocative look at Gods and Monsters by Bear X—a stark, mesmerizing collection of fetish illustrations where mythology and horror entwine with desire. This is not an art book that asks to be admired. It asks to be surrendered to.

Together, Zhanna and Lucia explore the themes that pulse through Bear X’s ink-drenched world: sacred violence, ecstatic bondage, transformation, and the monstrous feminine. These are images that echo ancient rites—the taking of the virgin, the gaze of the beast, the silence before surrender. The erotic in Gods and Monsters is not about dominance or display—it is about crossing a threshold into something sacred and profane.

Step into the shadows. Open the book. Let it mark you.

Step into the candlelit crypt of forbidden desire with host Zhanna Zee as Erotica Obscura resurrects one of the most sensual and subversive vampire tales ever written—Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. Before Dracula, there was Carmilla—a story of sapphic longing, blood-soaked intimacy, and erotic horror so potent it still seduces readers 150 years later. In this lushly narrated episode, Zhanna delves deep into the dark psyche of this gothic masterpiece—exploring the symbolism of blood as menstruation, loss of virginity, and transformation; the legacy of Carmilla as both monster and lover; and the forbidden, fatal tenderness between predator and prey.

With insights from Freud, Foucault, and Butler, this isn’t just a book discussion—it’s a rich, intoxicating journey into the shadows where desire and death entwine. Zhanna also confesses her own obsession with the erotic Black Fern Restored Edition—a sensually illustrated volume that reclaims Carmilla as the erotic, psychological ritual it was always meant to be. Whether you're drawn by gothic lore, vampire history, or simply the lure of a kiss that lingers within the erotic imagination, this episode will haunt you in the best possible way.

And yes, Carmilla is now available in audio on the podcast too...if you dare.
