This first book in the collected female-led fiction of Rafael Menton contains three of his more contemporary adventures describing the fates of three entirely different European men at the hands – and feet – belonging to women of colour. Mr Menton’s first tale is “A Faux Descent”, as we see how a former South African dominatrix enlightens a UK academic visiting her country to lecture on the subject of Eugenics and the inherent superiority of the white-race… An enlightenment that change every facet of his life. This is followed by “Adhira Khatri”, and the story of how an Indian widow sees an opportunity in the divorce and imprisonment of a handsome and once happy husband who had been her neighbour… A neighbour who, she feels, will make a most obedient servant upon his release! The last of the three misadventures is “A Shameful Reversal”, in which the English husband of a younger and successful Thai businesswoman finds that, though he will be accompanying her on a visit to her homeland, he will not be returning… And their relationship will change accordingly! Rafael Menton is a UK-based Professor of English Literature with a retro passion for the early to mid-twentieth-century fiction of mystery, crime, suspense, and horror & romance with erotic female-led undertones. Mr Menton’s literary tastes range from Doyle and Blackwood and on to Rohmer – as well as sometimes indulging in a more contemporary take of his own on the work of those masters that enables the reader to bring his/her own imagination to the story being read.
