John Jones believed himself the most enlightened of gay men. Professional, well read and boyishly handsome despite his age, he also believed himself open-minded, tolerant and devoid of vice. Yet he cannot resist the temptation of "The House", a computer generated environment where one can explore their own subconscious in a safe environment. Safe except for the darkness you bring with you.

Extended description

John Jones believed himself the most enlightened of gay men. Professional, well read and boyishly handsome despite his age, he also believed himself open-minded, tolerant and devoid of vice.

Yet he cannot resist the temptation of "The House", a computer generated environment where one can explore their own subconscious in a safe environment. Safe except for the darkness you bring with you.

Psychologically twisted with disturbing images and surreal scenes that might offend some readers, "The House" is a mind and gender bending fantasy of a John in hellish Wonderland!

Adult-content rating: This book contains content considered unsuitable for young readers 17 and under, and which may be offensive to some readers of all ages. For more information, see the Support FAQ.

Review by: Nancy on April 08, 2012 : star star star star star
I love to dream, particularly when I have vivid dreams that involve all my senses. Some of those dreams are so detailed that I’m able to write them down. Others are brief snatches of color, conversation, or fragrances, leaving me with a pleasant sensation upon wakening. And others leave me vaguely unsettled and with a feeling of relief that I couldn’t remember all the details.

Dreams are fun. I get to travel to different places around the world, see friends I haven’t spoken to in many years, or have passed away, enjoy a variety of lovers, have a houseful of pets without suffering from allergies, look and feel younger, and speak different languages. Those are the good dreams.

It’s the wild, strange, and unsettling dreams that would make me hesitate to visit a place like The House of Doom, Dreams and Desire.

John Jones is not a coward. He yields to his desires, drinks the magic liquid, and enters the House. What he learns there is enough to send him fleeing in terror.

What I’ve learned from reading Red Haircrow’s stories is to expect the unexpected. This is a chilling, erotic work of psychological horror that explores one man’s subconscious fears, darkness, and desires and dares us to examine our own.
