Volume-One in the "Women of the Occult" collection brings us two misadventures in the world of demonic sexual possession and mental bondage from Kurt Steiner and Theo Hopcraft. Mr Steiner open proceedings with "Rune of Evil", as a disgraced English academic travels to India to teach at a university and finds himself ensnared and enslaved by the women of a secret and ages old sect. Mr Hopcraft follows with "Forever Malign" and the tale of an English playboy and trust-fund baby who answers a call for help from his female cousin in the West of England... And finds himself the target of a vengeful, murderous, and sexually needy female spirit from the previous century. Fiction with a reverent nod to the horror, mystery, and suspense writers active during the first half of the twentieth-century.
