Self-published erotica a big hit online

Virginia Wade (not the tennis player) isn't exactly Viginia Woolf. You won't find her books in your local bookstore. But the stay-at-home mother from Colorado is the author of an e-book that has been downloaded more than 100,000 times.

Wade is the author of Moan for Bigfoot (its original title was not exactly safe for work), a novel which features a group of women on a camping trip kidnapped and sexually violated by a rampaging apeman . Without marketing tours or publicity, the book started raking in the cash for Wade, making up to $30,000 per month. Wade then branched out. Bigfoot was followed by Taken by Pirates and Seduced by the Dark Lord. She involved her family in the production of these books. Her father, an English teacher, edited her work. Her mother translated the books into German.

Wade wasn't the only one. A whole group of authors jumped on the 'cryptozoological erotica' bandwagon. "Their self-published books feature mythical creatures of every possible variety, from minotaurs to mermen, cthulhus to leprechauns, extraterrestrials to cyclops, who become involved in sexual trysts, often non-consensual , with human lovers," writes Eric Spitznagel at Business Insider.
But this was too good to last for the authors. Online news site The Kernel published a story titled "An epidemic of filth," claiming that sites like Amazon, Barnes and Noble and others were selling books featuring "rape fantasies, incest porn and graphic descriptions of bestiality and child abuse."

The media firestorm that followed saw online retailers pulling these books from their shelves. But it is not because of any moral or ethical principles claims one author, pointing out that there are still a number of extreme porn titles available at Amazon. "They don't care either way that they're selling dirty, filthy erotica. Their main goal is to keep their customers happy... And Amazon has way more at stake than just books. So they want to keep everybody happy," she says.
