The Dance of the Veils... Plus-4
Inside, you'll find a volume of five female-led tales, with themes of crime, murder, horror, and occult possession awaiting the reader with a passion for tales from different eras told in the classic early twentieth-century style. Read on as an ex-British military man falls subject to an Egyptian bordello proprietor; Cleopatra enjoys ownership of her final slave before the arrival of Octavian and her death; a journalist in Cairo is undone by a kiss that will mean eternal bondage to the woman who demanded it from him; an Englishman's trip to India to locate an old friend missing there opens him up to a fate equally as inescapable; and a wine-merchant, returning to London from France after a buying trip, finds himself inexplicably drawn to a small village in the Midi he has no recollection of ever having visited - at least until the large and feline proprietor of his Pensione refreshes his memory! Contains: "The Dance of the Veils Revisited" by Sandrine Bessancort; "Egyptian Bondage" by Ahmed Bhogosian; "Kiss of Evil" from Ezra Bedford; West Haven's "Favisham's Fall"; and "Destin Sur Sarthe" by Theo Hopcraft. Retro and re-imagined fiction influenced by the short-form masters of yesteryear for the reader who enjoys having the imagination fed without the writer of that story seeing a need to dot and cross every relevant vowel and consonant.
