What You Wish For, Stephen Dedman , single work short story horror
A frustrated male finds ill-fated solace with a shape-changing succubus. The demon manifests for intercourse in various feminine forms including a disastrous incarnation of the man's ex-girlfriend, whose plump thighs and sagging breasts are apparently not worth reinventing. But his realised fantasy life eventually proves even less desirable than unfortunate reality.

'"My Daniel’s out there." Mother Beet crossed her stick-thin legs, lit a cigarillo, then offered me one. I shook my head, staring into the black hollows where her eyes should be. Black hollows that held my measure, nonetheless, and stared back. Tiny brown cockroaches nested in the right orbit. They bubbled and hissed, irritated by the smoke perhaps. "I can feel him, sure’s the memory of spittin’ the bastard, bloody and blind-eyed, out of me womb."

I sat, and her smoke-bound mutterings washed against me. Folk like that, their words are weighty. You listen and not without fear.
