Lord John and the Succubus is a short story written by Diana Gabaldon. It was initially published in Legends II, edited by Robert Silverberg (2004), and then collected in 2007 in the volume Lord John and the Hand of Devils.
Set during the Seven Years' War, the story revolves around Lord John Grey's time at Prussia while serving as the British liaison officer to one of the Hanoverian regiments.
Briefly stationed at Gundwitz with a group of English and Hanoverian soldiers, Grey was at first sceptical when he received reports of a local succubus. Joining the search at the town's graveyard for the strange creature only to placate the townspeople, he soon discovered that reality was a lot more complicated than he thought.
