The Succubus in My Closet

Erick Blight is thirty-five, a data archivist, a confirmed pessimist and still a virgin. One night a chalk circle drawn on his floor with his own blood flares, and a violet-skinned succubus with tiny horns kneels in front of him and calls him Master. She can't go home until he claims her. A month later Pearl is cooking his dinners and waiting at the window every evening — and Erick's charming new manager Vanessa is coming over for dinner. Pearl hides in the closet. Vanessa notices the smell of lilies.
