The Erotic Strangula Mark Green

An ancient and insidious monster, dormant for years, suddenly reappears to wreak terror and havoc in a modern, California Wine Country Town. A virulent succubus that possesses sophisticated telepathic powers, it first plumbs the minds of its victims to discern what their particular sexual turn-on is and then appears to them in the form of a lovely seductress willing to facilitate it. Once the victim is brought to the brink of orgasm, the monster strangles him viciously with its unseen tentacle and then feasts on the sexual energy released. At first, Police Detective Dan Mathews believes he is dealing with a diabolical serial killer until a pretty and impetuous college coed shows up in town to regale him with tales of a fantastic Indian Legend called Tamakoteh.

But Detective Mathews, baffled by the lack of clues and the impunity with which The Strangula appears to stalk and slay its victims, begins to take her theory seriously and decides to join with her in an effort to defeat the monster. Before they can do that, however, they must each, in their own time, face The St
