With "A Faux Supremacist"; Rafael Menton brings us the African misadventure of a well-regarded academic and writer in the field of Eugenics. A firm believer in, so-called, "genetic-purity" who leaves his wife at home in the UK and accepts a speaking tour of South Africa and its university campuses. Forgiven for not suspecting that his well-ordered and rather smug existence - not to mention his long, hard-held, beliefs and self-perception - are about to be forever - and irrevocably - altered. And by one of the last women he could have expected it from! Believable and retro female-led fantasy fiction for those readers who prefer to use the darker sides of their imaginations with the help of character-driven plotlines. Rafael Menton is a UK-based Professor of English Literature with a retro passion for the early to mid-twentieth-century fiction of exotic and outré mystery, crime, suspense, horror & romance.
Mr Menton's wide-ranging literary tastes ranging from Doyle and Blackwood and on to Rohmer and Chandler, etc. As well as sometimes - times such as this - indulging in a more contemporary take of his own.
