ORBGASM: An Erotic Pulp Sci-Fi Satyricon

by Sam Irvin

All profits from this book will be donated to the World Health Organization's COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. An orb from outer space lands in the yard of Evelyn (a James Bond movie bombshell). The effects of the sphere are both miraculous and hedonistic. With this forbidden fruit in her possession, she teams up with her hunky gay best friend Christopher (mash-up author of FRANKENSTEIN AND THE THREE MUSKETEERS) and they hit the road Thelma-and-Louise-style to keep the Deep State from confiscating it. What lies ahead is a powder keg of decadence and danger—with the fate of mankind hanging in the balance. Drenched in movie references from BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN to THE BIRDS, the protagonists’ journey includes a menagerie of hard-boiled misfits, a parade of classic cars and enough steamy action to poach your eyeballs. This audacious thrill-ride was written by Hollywood filmmaker and showbiz biographer Sam Irvin, director of ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS, DANTE'S COVE, OBLIVION, OUT THERE, GUILTY AS CHARGED; co-executive producer of Bill Condon’s GODS AND MONSTERS; Brian De Palma’s assistant on THE FURY and DRESSED TO KILL; author of KAY FROM FUNNY FACE TO ELOISE (Simon & Schuster) and SAM'S TOILET PAPER CAPER! (Knuckle Samwitch Books). Irvin won two Rondo Awards for Best Article "The Epic Untold Saga Behind THE TRUE STORY" published in LITTLE SHOPPE OF HORRORS magazine #38; and Best Interview "Elvira Exposed" published in SCREEM magazine #36.

[M. Lomeli · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast paced adventure that included sexy, sci-fi, adventure elements. I particularly enjoyed the “road-trip” adventure section when a couple of the characters are on the lam, it’s when we get to meet many of the eccentric side characters. My only minor critique would be the latter part of the book, the ending felt a little disjointed from the rest of the book but I still enjoyed how the author wove non-fictional historical events into the story. I know this was originally intended to be filmed and I would enjoy seeing this on a screen someday. I hope there are more kooky fun fiction stories from Sam Irvin in the future.

Don't let the cover and title scare you away. Haha. I was hesitant to read this, worry it would just be novel full of random sex scenes. While there is some sex, the book has an actual plot. An orb fall from the sky, and a couple finds it. The first time you touch the orb, you have a euphoric feeling/orgasm. But after that initial touch, you never get that again. However, the orb heals illness and can reverse other aspects to the human body, such as regenerating things a person may have had removed. Mix in the military, and you get a cat mouse chase to see who will get the orb and just what the Hell this orb is.

Possibly the best erotic pulp sci-fi satyricon I've ever read.

[BigGMonsterMan · Rating 5 out of 5]

A WILD sci-fi adventure with lots of action, sex, humour, sex, aliens, sex. (You see where this it going...)
A fun read with a fascinating moral.

This is an absolute delight.

I have to say that the cover, title and subtitle all definitely grabbed my attention and drew me in, but I can't wonder if there isn't an audience that would genuinely enjoy this but might see all of that and suspect it might be too much of an erotic pulp sci-fi satyricon, when it's not. It's exactly the right amount of that.

This was originally written to be a movie in the '90s and it would make a delightful movie, the kind of just "b-movie" enough concept that when us weirdos showed it to our normal friends would know we were inviting them into our world, but pleasant and inviting enough that they'd be glad they joined us.
