Sacrifice Theory is a pulpy, dark t!m/m romance and it's FREEEEE

Anders is a vampire who can't resist meddling in human sex worker Jason's life when he sees how Jason is treated. Their intimacy grows through mutual respect and a desire for righteous bloodshed.

Rey Rider | trans erotic author 🏳️‍⚧️ @reyrider.bsky.social · 14d

Hi! I'm Rey Rider (they/them), a late 20s neurodivergent transmasc non-binary writer of queer erotica.

I currently have 3 short stories published:
🌶 In Their Hands
🫧 ALCAEUS
🍇 HYPATOS

Find them on Smashwords: www.smashwords.com/profile/view...

More info on my Website/Carrd: reyriderrr.carrd.co

A trope map on a black satin fabric background.
The story cover features white sheets with a grainy filter. The title reads: "In Their Hands. A t4t erotic somno shorts" in white font. At the bottom, in black font, "Rey Rider."
The tropes and tags, pointing to the cover with white arrows, read: somno, first-to-second-person PoV, strap-on fucking, making your own movie, aftercare, eating pussy like the MC's life depends on it, established couple, squirting, T4T (enby x enby), processing trauma through kink, 4.5k short story.

A green book cover with the title “ALCAEUS – A Touch of Dionysus” on a desaturated background photo of a statue of the god Dionysus next to another person. The cover has veins around the border and an illustrated image of an olive branch above the author name, “Rey Rider.” The cover is surrounded by the following tropes and kinks connected to the cover via arrows: “bathhouse, genderfluid Dionysus x middle aged cis man, D/S, subby old man, railed "without mercy," 6.2k short story, nectar precum (yup), vine bondage, rough sex, dom top Dioynsus."

A purple book cover with the title “HYPATOS – A Touch of Dionysus” on a desaturated background photo of a statue of the god Dionysus next to another person. The cover has veins around the border and an illustrated image of a grape above the author name, “Rey Rider.”
The cover is surrounded by the following kinks connected to the cover via arrows: “nipple lay, genderfluid dionysus x transmasc human, praise, light d/s, riding, 5k short story, sub top x dom bottom, nectar lactation (yup), divine t*dick, squirting, strap-on fucking.”

the urge to start my own paying queer speculative erotica publication simply because there are so few markets for it.. perhaps one day... then they'll all see

J. Aster @jasterwrites.bsky.social · Aug 24

I enjoyed KPop Demon Hunters, but what I enjoy more is how obsessed the general public is with it - it does the heart good

J. Aster @jasterwrites.bsky.social · Aug 24

Current coping mechanism: keeping the @sevenseasentertainment.com tab for Thrice Married to a Salted Fish open so I can remember that 1 good thing is coming down the line ... yes the world continues to decay BUT I will get to hold my favorite danmei in my own 2 hands on November 11

This! I love libraries and I love it when readers ask their libraries to include my books ❤️

Chantal James @chantalalive.blacksky.app · Jul 31

Oh by the way, don’t forget you can ask your library to order nearly any book you want to read but don’t want to buy. And as authors we love libraries buying our books & readers being able to access them through libraries.

An HONOR to be the most smutty among such exciting tales!!!

EmmyKtz 🐙 The Pink Hydra @thepinkhydra.com · Jul 26

It's EXACTLY what your dirty mind is thinking 😉😏

This story joins other explicitly queer horror offerings - a sapphic Frankensteinian tale by @hexthervvv.bsky.social, a Green Knight -esque story of Arthurian tragedy and twisted fate by McKynzie Bair - but it's definitely the most smutty. 😍

J. Aster @jasterwrites.bsky.social · Jul 24

Thrilling news for #DraculaDaily fans, the next issue of
@thepinkhydra.com will include my spicy interlude post-"this man belongs to me" (iykyk) AND it will be free to read - I genuinely cannot wait :D
