The second volume featuring the retro and female-led fictions of Sandrine Bessancort presents us with another three antique misadventures in the world of the female-led. We open with “The Interruption Revisited” and its tale of a Victorian n'eer do well, posing as a gentleman, who finds the life of leisure he envisaged after poisoning his wealthy wife beyond his reach. His plans thwarted when his young housekeeper threatens to take her knowledge of his crime to the authorities. If, that is, he does not commit the rest of his life to her... As a servant! Ms Bessancort follows this with “Useless Beauty Revisited” and describes how a smug and philandering member of the French aristocracy becomes an obedient cuckold to a superior woman. A superior woman who just happens to be the same wife who bore him his children, only to be marginalised and ignored… But no longer! Concluding the second-volume is “The Horla Revisited”, and the tale of a Parisian gentleman who finds himself in thrall to a cruel and perverse landlady. A landlady and widow with unearthly needs and powers intent on fashioning him into the perfect servant… As well as her VERY personal chattel! Sandrine Bessancort is the pen-name of a French-born and Honfleur based legal-professional with a passion for the re-imagining of antique tales with a female-led slant.
