Four adventures in the world of the mentally and sexually dominant woman - and the unwitting men she ensnares to serve her - comprise book-one in the “Silken Shackles” collection. A visiting Obeah priestess mentally and physically subjugates a cynical English professor in Rafael Menton’s “A Woman of Haiti”; and yet another smug and dismissive English professional meets a similar fate in Mr Menton’s “A Chinese Horror Revisited”; while, in “Blood Slave”, a married writer looking to cash in on the nineteenth-century craze for all things vampiric and Transylvanian accepts a commission to deliver a book on the history of an obscure and little known Carpathian family… And comes face to face with that family’s controlling and irresistible matriarch. Our final adventure is Connor Kruse’s contemporary tale of interracial femdom and human bondage, “The White Serf”.
