'The Erotic Muse' is the story of K, a young porn-addicted college-dropout who shies away from relationships and harbors dreams of becoming a writer. Full of anguish, he is given to self-abuse. One evening, while masturbating to his favorite erotic muse, Fanny Leone, sprawled on the cover of an underground porn magazine, K finds himself magically transported to a parallel world where all sexual desires and perversions are fulfilled, although with the price that he might remain trapped in this unique pleasure-hell all his life - unless he can find a way out. This 'way out' is his redemption, a journey studded with heart-stopping adventure, life-threatening danger, nerve-wracking horror, and a brush with true love.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I'm a compulsive reader, not-so-regular writer, introverted dreamer, onanist, fetishist, occasional weirdo and a movie enthusiast with a hankering for great ideas and demolition of creative boundaries - which, incidentally, also applies to what I read and write. I've a preference for the shocking and what most people would call disturbing. Think of the axe-murder in A Serbian Film and the accident-fetish in J G Ballard's Crash and you get the drift.

However, I can appreciate the brighter side of life too - like your neighbourhood serial killer with the face of a choir boy. I've read Nobel laureates like Mario Vargas Llosa with the same passion that I have for a splatterpunk master like Wrath James White. I straddle two worlds, it seems.

I get my rocks off on erotic horror, dabble in pornhub when life gets too boring (onanist, remember?) and am still writing three days a week since publishing my first novel, The Erotic Muse, in 2018. I sublimated a truckload of pre-middle-age angst in writing it and it shows, albeit in a less autobiographical way than a Charles Bukowski or a Henry Miller. Not comparing, just saying.

I give out free copies of my work all the time. Anyone interested may contact me at rajeev.writer1985@gmail.com. I'm also open to chats of a no-holds-barred nature.

A Brilliant Epic Adventure

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

"What if an imaginer could populate an entire city with the force of his lust...?"

Ketan ("K") is a young college dropout supporting himself by writing erotica. A porn addict and compulsive masturbator, K is at home, busy doing what he does best, when suddenly--in the midst of his climax--he experiences a most bizarre falling sensation. When he regains his senses, he finds that he is no longer within the haven of his bedroom but somewhere else entirely--somewhere that looks eerily familiar. He finds that his surrounding area is remarkably similar to the background scene depicted on the magazine cover displaying his favorite fantasy woman, his erotic muse, Fanny Leone.

Transported to a mysterious world ("...a new world where all desires have an end at the cost of a few globules of semen and loads of regret that somehow always haunt a post-coital man"), K finds Fanny in the flesh and soon discovers that he has the opportunity to fulfill all of his sexual fantasies. It's thrilling at first, but before long, he realizes that he is entrapped by his all-consuming lust.

"What was desire anyway? Wasn’t desire a well that never filled to completion?

Desperate to escape the prurient prison-land, K finds an ally and they embark on an epic journey, one fraught with danger and horrors but also enlightenment and romance.

"...their bodies began to meld as if they were coloured effigies of wax making love in a bed on fire."

This book truly impressed me, not just with its brilliant writing but also because it presented a unique, highly-imaginative, profound and thought-provoking story. Singh's rich, intoxicating prose placed me right beside K and enabled me to experience his feelings and dilemmas. His use of figurative and descriptive language is absolutely flawless and poetic.

"...a smile that didn’t please K at all but fed the tapeworm of anxiety crawling in his gut."

The tension...the mounting dread...the suspense....

Singh is an incredible storyteller whose book had me thoroughly engrossed. I don't envy him, though. This masterpiece will be a tough act to follow. Yet, somehow I have a feeling that his next novel will be just as riveting. I can't wait to read it!

Not What I expected

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2018

I’m still not entirely sure how I should feel about this book. It reads like a delightfully odd combination of an 80’s horror movie and an adult entertainment flick. So if you are uncomfortable with the pleasures of the flesh and the human body I recommend you stay away from this book.
Our protagonist Ketan has a slight addiction to porn and masturbation, and oddly enough supports himself by writing erotica. One day he awakes in a strange world where he can fulfill all his fantasies of the flesh…well until he realizes that he can’t escape his lust. The rest of the book is an erotic journey of growth, self-discovery, and redemption.
While I do enjoy my erotica a bit more on the vanilla side, I did find this book to be delightful in other ways. I thought it was an exciting look into the human psyche and how things can leave profound impressions on us. Moreover, while I cannot recommend this book to everyone, I can say that if you are not put off by excessive pornography, then you can surely find this book a surprisingly enlightening read.

Beautiful writing, but needs an editor

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

The Erotic Muse is quite a book. It's long and complex. In places, the prose absolutely scintillates but in others, it drags. The plot is not new - an earth man is transported to a strange world from which he must escape, but in this case, the world is populated with the protagonist's mastubatory fantasies gone wild, which are often malevolent. It's written in a rambling, stream of consciousness style which often makes it hard to follow. Some of the images are graphic and shocking. My biggest problem with the book was that I couldn't get comfortable reading it because just as I found a section I liked, it would change and become tedious again. I think the biggest flaw is the lack of editing. The Erotic Muse is a good book, but at half the length, perhaps it could be a great book.

Where do I start?
If Nin, Miller, and Lovecraft had a child, blessed by Baudelaire, raised by Kafka, and educated by de Sade, you would have "The Erotic Muse." There is something of Ryu Murakami's brutality in it, too. Definitely, unusual...
There is almost something scientific in the dissection of K's feelings, desires, emotions. The language is exquisite. My suggestion? Read this book. If not for the storyline, then for the literary craft. It is well worth the read. If you are a fan of the genre, that is. Because the plot... is strange and out there, for the lack of better words. It's a brilliant work of a crazy and beautiful (in it's own way) mind.
Clever, intricate, explicit, brutal, raw, rich - you will be taken on a wild adventure of deepest desires and fantasies.

Hol on to your hat folks, it's a wild ride

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2018

The Erotic Muse’ by Rajeev Singh, is a story of K.
K falls into a parallel world where Fanny Leone, his erotic muse and favorite porn star, becomes his guide, meeting him in a room with paintings on the wall—paintings that depict his deepest desires, even the depraved ones. He begins his journey when he stares at the first painting long enough for it to establish a connection with his psyche. “It panders to the sickest parts of my mind.” K finished. She [Fanny] nodded. “Creating the scenario you had longed for at some point in time, letting you fulfil your darkest passions.”
While in this parallel world, K visits the source of an encounter that seeded sexual repression, embarrassment, shame and guilt as a boy. Now a man, he reflects and relives his own coming of age story of lusts and depravities where he must act them out, and discovers his desperation for redemption. ‘The Erotic Muse’ deals with K’s psyche and is deeply emotional in many parts. I am so glad Rajeev Singh included some humor in his writing of this type of story. 
From here…hold on to your hats folks! It’s a wild ride through his journey, where K faces life altering questions about his humanity and learns the rule of human existence.
Did not expect the ending, but I loved it!

PHENOMENAL

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review. All opinions are solely mine and I have not been given any benefits, monetary or otherwise, to post my review here or anywhere else.

The author Rajeev Singh has attempted something bold and unconventional with a powerful plot -- I bet you've never read anything like it before. It sucks you in from the first page. The tale is descriptive, intense and eerie in places, never ceasing to capture the reader's attention.
Highly recommended if you don't get queasy easily. I agree with another reviewer here who called the author an absolute wordsmith. The prose is haunting and will stay with you long after you've finished reading the book. Highly recommended.

Erotic-horror with a twist

Reviewed in India on July 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

'The Erotic Muse' is an intriguing horror story, but it's a matter of perspective. The world that the author has painted can and will be enjoyed by different readers in different ways because to some, the erotic scenes, which are in abundance in the book, will be enjoyable. To me, it was horrifying to get a glimpse into the psyche of a normal boy whose only way to cope with his own (perceived) sense of inadequacy is imagining women as objects of desire. And I cannot even call it perverted because our imaginary world is of our own and if we are judged based on our fantasies, most people in the world will be categorized as deviants. Therefore, I can't call K a pervert. Neither can I sympathize with him in his predicament, because, as a woman, I have been subjected to male attention which made want to puke in my mouth, and quite unintentionally, perhaps, K's motivation is not very different from those nameless, faceless people, even though there is no intent behind his fantasy. Also, without giving away the plot-line, I can say this much that in the course of the story the reader gradually understands why K is how he is, what motivates him and he is probably not as much of a lost cause as he appears at first.
What turned me off at times, however, was the language. It took me a while to get into the groove with this book because I feel there's too much description (sometimes descriptions of descriptions), phrases which are kind of cringe-worthy ('snakes' and 'hillocks'...sorry. As a fan of good erotic lit, a big 'NO' for me) and explanations which should have better been left for the reader to work out on their own.
Still, it grasped my attention, and I couldn't put it down before the finish-line, even when at times, it feels like an inevitable train-wreck - and I couldn't simply look away. I'd definitely recommend it for readers looking for erotic-horror with a twist because the idea behind the book is certainly original, inspired and a fresh, albeit a little bit word-heavy and it's a strong first attempt of a promising writer.
