Diabolical Duets
Duet-Seven in the "Diabolical Duets" collection brings us another two tales of men who find themselves ineffectual and helpless before the will of the "Diabolical" female. We open with Kurt Steiner's "A Journey to Disgrace", as we take another trip back to the beginning of the last century to witness the abject fate of a wealthy and recently divorced man. A man taking a voyage to the East to put his cares behind him.
Only to find he has placed himself directly in the firing line of an Indian stepmother and stepdaughter among his fellow passengers. A beauteous and assertive stepmother and a stepdaughter who, though falling a long way from the description of "beautiful", is at least the mother's equal when it comes to evil. Maurice Reynard's "The Housekeeper" introduces us to a strange and before its time household.
A household run along what we now call: "Female-Led" lines. A household minus its female head since the Victorian husband's poisoning of his wealthy and overbearing wife and the shortly to be received bequest to him of her estate he hopes will change his life. Anticipation that is brought to an abrupt halt by his poisoned wife's housekeeper and her knowledge of his crime. A younger woman even more warped and domineering than her older mistress. 2-Believable and fantasy female-led tales of early kind of feminism and human and occult bondage - written in the style of the early 20th Century masters of the genre - for the reader who enjoys having the imagination tweaked rather than bludgeoned.
