Applecore

Applecore (18+)

Releases 6/19

The life of a gnome is hard and short, especially for those that stand out. But despite her size and snow white coat, Applecore has lived two winters. When her body suddenly begins to change, and strange new desires overcome her, Applecore is faced with a choice--does she stay in the nest with her sisters, or accept maleness to seek a mate? Does she really have a choice at all?

Applecore is a work of adult fiction inspired by the likes of The Secret of Nimh and Watership Down and childhood fascination with animal reproduction. Despite its storybook tone, this work contains some scenes of violence between creatures acting on instinct--reader discretion is advised.

Features speculative reproductive biology and alternative gender systems, breeding instinct, oversize genitals, massive size difference, public humiliation, and sex with a hard-boiled egg.  

18k words, 10 spot illustrations, 4 half-page illustrations. Available as a DRM free PDF and EPUB, and features gallery ZIP of book illustrations and development art.

To prevent confusion: Applecore is physically male, and lives in a culture where gender is determined by sexual maturity. Male or female pronouns are acceptable when referring to the character Applecore.
