Three text editions of female-led fantasy, horror, and science-fiction open with Sandrine D’Honfleur’s “The Shaming of Purbeck”, Ms D’ Honfleur’s take on the classic good and evil theme as, obsessed with discovering and isolating the gene from which springs good and evil in an individual, a Victorian doctor and scientist develops a compound he believes will by-pass the less wholesome of the two traits… And finds he has succeeded only in strengthening it in the body of his unknowing and now sadistic female test-subject.
Our second misadventure is "Amazon's Chattel", as Willem Overmars relates the tale of a crash-landing upon an unknown and outwardly backward planet, and how the male and female survivors from Earth are treated somewhat differently in the city of Rhodius… That difference being the one between freedom and abject and unquestioning slavery!
Completing the trio is “Herrin”, as Maurice Huysman takes us to a distant future and a Federation space-craft on a diplomatic mission that has crash-landed on an uncharted alien world… An uncharted world where a woman of earth is already ensconced as its supreme ruler… A ruler and degenerate German female scientist who made a similar crash landing many years before and has a vested interest in keeping the presence of herself and other survivors on a need-to-know basis… A preference that will ensures a life of service and transformation for the captain of the downed Federation craft.
Three fantasy misadventures where the female reigns supreme.
