The Seduction

by Roh Morgon

The first time Erica saw the black, low-slung sports car, she felt shock at its sensual pull deep within her soul — but when she began to succumb to its whispered promises, she didn't suspect she might be losing more than her mind.

This 1500-word paranormal tale is a 'short-short' story from the "Monsters in the Machines" collection by Roh Morgon. An excerpt from her novel "Watcher: Book I of The Chosen" is included.

About the author

Roh Morgon discovered the magic in stories at an early age, both in books and the ones she made up in her head. As a child growing up in a remote Southern California canyon, she explored the wild hills barefoot with her brothers and rode her horse bareback at top speed. A wicked youth spent hitchhiking across the West and perched on the backs of Harleys eventually gave way to soccer mom duties and full-time college studies—at the same time. In her spare moments, she learned how to herd cattle, swordfight, and plant an arrow or a knife in a target—not necessarily at the same time.

Her years spent in the lofty mountains of Colorado and the stark plains of Wyoming, the red canyons of central Arizona and the rolling hills of California, provide some of the diverse stages upon which her characters re-enact their lives.

She’s best known for her vampire series which includes Watcher: Book I of The Chosen, the 1840s historical horror novella, The Last Trace, and The Games Monsters Play. Her next novel, Runner: Book II of The Chosen, will be released in late 2017.

Roh currently shares her home in the Sierra Nevada foothills with three mustang horses, two crazy herding dogs, and a very patient husband who reminds her of the need to eat and sleep. She writes fantasy and urban fantasy for middle grade, young adult, and adult readers.

This is a 3.5 star read.

Well written short story of a woman's seduction by motor car, a wonderful play on the sin of avarice.

[Alexis · Rating 5 out of 5]

I consider it an author's job to seduce me into their story, to draw me in to stop my day and read their precious words. Well, not only was I seduced with this short and FREE read, I was transported to somewhere else that didn't have Homework, bills or familial obligations for about 20 minutes. Well done.

Insta-love of the right variety, this short piece takes the reader on a journey with Erica, the woman who falls in love with the car of her dreams.

A great mix of seductive writing and technical information, this one certainly packs a punch. My favourite part was the freeway ride.

Definitely worth the few minutes time investment.

if you have ever looked upon the curve of a well turned shiny hunk of love, you'll appreciate the seduction of it all.

Totally not what I was expecting! A funny but accurate view on buying a new car!

Free ebook. I think everyone has felt this way at least once, but not everyone acts on it.
