One Night at Cirque Nocturne: Dark Horror Erotica
** PITCH BLACK HORROR EROTICA, NOT ROMANCE ** content warnings are inside the book and on my site.
A night of screams, shadows, and sacrifice. You don’t attend the circus. You become it.
Neve Gray isn’t afraid of monsters. She’s spent her life chasing them — in scare mazes, serial killer documentaries, and the dark corners of her fantasies where fear and lust share a bed. Nothing gets under her skin anymore.
So when The Midnight Den manages to get her a ticket to the most elusive Halloween attraction on earth — a supernatural circus that rises from the mist for one night only, drenched in rumour and blood — she doesn’t hesitate.
But Cirque Nocturne doesn’t perform for audiences. It devours them.
Each tent holds a new act. A new monster. A new way to be touched, ruined, and horrified.
Every monster leaves a mark. Every act pulls her deeper into the spotlight. Until Neve stops asking who’s in control…
and starts wondering what she’s becoming.
Fear is the ticket. Pleasure is the trap. The curtain’s rising — and she’s the finale.
**********
All Midnight Den books are short stories — unapologetically 100% smut and 0% plot. BUT THIS HALLOWEEN SPECIAL is waaaay longer than usual and has reached a full-length book. That's a whole lotta deranged smut!
Each book is a standalone and can be read in any order.
They are not love stories with HEAs — they are one night of filthy fun. Usually no romance, aftercare, or emotional resolution.
Not for the faint of heart. You’ll need a fire extinguisher for your e-reader, a lawyer for your depravity, and exorcising in a bucket of holy water for your warped soul by the time you’re done with the series.
Graphic, explicit content for adult readers only. Will be highly offensive to some readers! PLEASE CHECK THE CONTENT WARNINGS.
There’s a Midnight Den in almost every city. Monster ‘Fudging’ is big business. Others rarely mix with humans in romantic relationships—we're beneath them, the lowest rung on the evolutionary ladder. But within each species, there are always those willing to take our money for a night of pure, feral debauchery.
From midnight to six a.m., every carnal desire is yours to claim. Tentacles, claws, and otherworldly 'members' will plunder you to nirvana. Whether you want your monster to deliver degradation, worship, restraint, or pure ruin, nothing is forbidden. Everything is encouraged.
Welcome to the Midnight Den. Time to unleash your beast.

9 books9 followersEbony Saint is the author of extremely explicit short erotica stories.
Her Midnight Den series features graphic kinky encounters with monsters/paranormal creatures. Contact the church in advance - you'll be needing an exorcism to cleanse your soul after reading them all. So filthy these books should come with a fire extinguisher, a bucket of holy water, and a lawyer.
Monsters not your thing? Ebony is also working on a contemporary kink series. Keep an eye out!

F/MMMMMMMMM

Dark
Paranormal
This truly surprised me. I wasn’t expecting it to be so well written. There were some things that were repeated but overall this was a great ending to my spooky season reads. If you like dark, depraved scenes mixed with lots of sex…this is for you.
Neve gets a ticket to a circus that appears only on Halloween night. She heard rumors of the circus and learned everything she could. Then went to an exclusive club that grants you whatever you want, for a price. She wants to be scared. She is lead to each act by Riven, the ringmaster. She is left to experience each by herself. At first she thinks it’s all a show but soon discovers everything she sees and experiences is very real. Each act is different entity. Veil, Thatch, Jack, Pyre, Blade, Jinx, Raze, Nightmare and ultimately Riven.
I don’t want to say too much. Go into it blind. Unless you must check trigger warnings (spoilers).

Well Written Dark Circus
Wow. I loved this book. The writing was well done, you could feel the atmosphere, characters, and settings like you were actually there. Not too little nor too much detail.
FMC goes through a series of tents/fields/etc. with one monster in each (one had two, another multiple but no MM) so it felt MF but overall RH. This book is about as black horror erotica as you can get, triggers galore! Nightmare’s tent with Blade’s part (iykyk) tip toed on my one (and only - I love me some dark/black books) trigger but stayed just on this side so no pages skipped. The one thing that kept pinging in the back of my mind was good lord, give that woman a couple water breaks, dehydration is a thing!

Step Right Up for Madness, Mayhem, and a Whole Lot of Spice
Deliciously demented. Sinfully depraved. And I ate up every twisted second of it. This book was a full-blown carnival of chaos, and I couldn’t look away. I devoured it in one sitting—no regrets, only obsession. I’ve never been a “why choose” girl, but this is the second author making me question all my convictions. My first taste of Ebony Saint, and let’s just say… it won’t be my last. 🔥🖤

If you want something that’s spicy and out of the norm, this book will give you that.
There were twist and turns that made this book exciting, although it was spicy it did have a plot to each chapter and character.
Would recommend to someone who has very few triggers and loves spice.
I would love to know what happens when the cirque comes back to town with our MFC and her men (I want to believe they are all hers too lol)

4/5 ⭐️ 5/5🌶
Just wow! Trigger warnings are a must for this one. I would not recommend this for someone new to the darker side of books.
This was mostly spice, but was done well and still told a story. I recommend this for people who do like darker stories and that can handle the warnings listed.

Wild ride, overall, but some scenes kinda drawn out and I ended up skimming. .

This is definitely just for a fun quick read, without having to think and just enjoy.

I'm confused about my feelings about this book. Mostly made no sense. The ending is even more confusing.

A nightmare of a circus
Check your trigger warnings. This is a dark circus story. It brings delicious characters to life that will haunt your daydreams. Do you have a fear? Or is it a kink. This book is like no other but it is horribly dark in the best of ways.
