The Mistress of His Soul... Plus-2

Three female-led tales of fantasy, occult empowerment, and human bondage for those readers who prefer to use the darker sides of their imaginations with the help of character-driven plotlines. Read on, as a wealthy man about town finds himself infatuated with a woman from Eastern Europe who turns out to be a vampire of the most irresistible kind… A vampire, moreover, who does not take her nourishment from the blood of man but, rather, his obedience. A dying aunt imparts a talisman and a secret to a less than credulous niece… A secret regarding the talisman's power if placed about the right man's neck… Something the niece regards as no more than a dying woman's last fevered and hallucinatory thoughts… At least until she decides to it out on one unsuspecting man! Finally, an affluent art-loving London bachelor finds himself drawn to a rarely displayed painting in one of the capital's galleries… And, more to the point, the rather cruel and sensuous woman depicted in the study from centuries past… His fascination with the woman becoming even more marked when her oil-painted form becomes real… And her cruelty is turned upon him! Female-led fiction for the lover of the occult, possession, and horror.
