Absolutely Disgusting!
This book is NOT for the faint of heart!A group of horndog pervy pals decide it would be fun to summon a succubus, believing that they'll get a hot naked demon chick with cute little bat wings. How wrong they were...My favorite thing about this book is that it's one hell of an original twist on the Succubus trope. I love originality and this angle is so well done, so completely horrific and vile and just amazing that it has earned a place among my favorite books.While this book is not really gory, there is no shortage of bodily fluids. It's gross. It's hilarious. There are these brilliant author interludes that add so much to the story... I couldn't put it down.If you like Ed Lee. If you like laughing while feeling slightly queasy, if you like new takes on old tropes, this book is definitely for you!

Its a fun premise that's like a quirky mix of Edward Lee
I had never read anything from Christine Morgan before this and Deadite Press has never steered me wrong. I kind of have mixed feelings on this book. Its a fun premise that's like a quirky mix of Edward Lee, Carlton Mellick III, and a bit of Chuck Palahniuk. I liked the little Interludes throughout, gave it some originality. I did get annoyed at the repeated descriptions, using like words over and over and over. I don't mind a lot of cursing but the dialogue was like that junior high kid who's just discovered cuss words and wants to show his friends how cool he is. Even though these things bugged me, I get that it fits the attitude of the characters. They are douchey self absorbed frat boys...so things don't turn out exactly the way they want it to. Overall, its a cool story and I do want to dive into the sequel and see exactly where this story is heading.

Pretty much exactly what you'd expect - and then some
This was . . . well, pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a book called Spermjackers From Hell - except, of course, the horny succubus in question is absolutely nothing like what you'd expect. While Christine Morgan absolutely delivers on the premise, she does so in ways that are absurdly unexpected, which make this a far a more enjoyable read.Before we get into the story, I have to talk about the storytelling for a moment. This is a clever, self-aware, disjointed sort of narrative that begins near the end, before rewinding back to the start, with frequent vignettes where Morgan breaks the fourth wall and talks directly to the reader. On the positive side, the style creates some artificial tension, and serves to keep you on your toes, never knowing what's coming next. On the negative side, those vignettes feel like unfulfilled promises, teasing us with unholy erotic retributions that ultimately happen off the page, only to be recapped in passing. There's almost an entire second book waiting in those vignettes.Okay, so back to the story. This starts out with your basic horror movie premise - a gang of slackers decide to summon a succubus, and plan to do it from within the bowels of the abandoned bomb shelter in the park. It's a great scenario and a great setting, and Morgan gleefully indulges in their squeamish excitement. Nobody, of course, really expects it to work, and even after their frantic flight from the scene, they still manage to convince themselves it was an elaborate prank played by their missing friend. There is a lot of tension between friends, both before and after, and the way Morgan plays on their anxieties is spot-on.As for the succubus - after all, you did come for the Spermjackers From Hell (pun gleefully intended!) - she's a surprise I am hesitant about spoiling. In terms of physical appearance, she is nothing like what you expect, but in terms of erotic performance, she's everything you dreamed of . . . and had nightmares about. She preys on the darkest fantasies and fetishes of the town as much as she does their most innocent lusts and longings, giving them exactly what they think they crave most. Again, no spoilers, but when we finally get a glimpse of her lair . . . it is total nightmare fetish fuel, a horrifying fate that, despite its grotesque elements, still has a touch of forbidden attraction.The final twist at the end was perfect, and I am almost embarrassed to say I didn't see it coming. With the door left open for a sequel, I would definitely be up for a second summoning, especially if it can deliver on some of those vignette teases.

The Title Says it All
I saw this book at StokerCon and knew in my heart I would love it. This is my second Christine Morgan yarn, and I’m an instant superfan. Spermjackers From Hell is an extreme horror novel about some 20-somethings who summon a succubus. Soon The whole town begins to act out their most delirious, perverse fantasies lurking in the shadows of their collective id. Take heed, gentle readers, all ye enter. There are some images your mind’s eye cannot un-see. You’ve been warned. Five enthusiastic stars.

Really disappointing
I've only managed to make it through about half of the book, so I guess this won't be an entirely accurate review, but perhaps it doesn't need to be. This was just pure garbage, and not in a good way. I suppose it was intended as some sort of satire, but that doesn't come across at all. It comes across as some sort of fanfic that was hastily thrown together in a weekend. The author decided to punctuate the book with chapters directly addressing the reader, in order to tell us about the characters and plot, instead of showing us and trusting readers would be smart enough to catch her drifts. The whole ordeal was skull-numbingly boring. The characters reminded me of when a boomer describes "kids these days" and all their wacky lingo, just flat caricatures of humans.The main atrocity committed was the author's bizarre decision to include a detailed account of animal abuse. Her description of a man taking advantage of his dog was the most detailed part of the entire dreadful book, which leads one to question the real motive behind writing it.I definitely would not recommend this to anyone.
