The Salon of Madame Feng... Plus-3

4-Fantasies in the female-led, describing the occult, the supernatural, religious fanaticism, and pure feminine evil, comprise the subject matter of the tales in "The Salon of Madam Feng… Plus-3". Read on, as an English academic teaching in Madras becomes the first European to take the eye of an ancient and secretive matriarchal religious cult and is handed a welcoming "Rune"… A "Rune" he will soon discover to be less of a welcome and more of a life-sentence. A happy husband, project-managing in the middle-east, drinks too much one evening and lands in prison… To make matters worse, he comes to the attention of the wealthy and powerful Madam Quadira… A wealthy, powerful, and decidedly evil woman who decides she'd prefer it if he remained in her land… For good! An English businessman looks to escape to Suffolk's East-Coast and finds himself in a strange but delightful fishing village… A fishing village he finds presided over by a mature French woman and the women living with her… As well as their Caribbean housekeeper... Who sees much potential in him! Visiting Paris with his fiancé, the life of a stuffy Englishman goes bad after a cousin suggests an evening out… To be spent with the mystic, Madame Feng, at her Paris salon… A disturbingly and compelling Chinese woman who, along with her housekeeper, is about to change the stuffy Englishman's life! Inside you will find: "Rune of Evil" by Kurt Steiner; Estelle Marchant's "Madam Quadira"; "La Voile de Soie (formerly: "The Veil of Silk") from Rafael Menton; and Sandrine Bessancort's "The Salon of Madame Feng". Outrageous, but strangely believable, escapist fantasy in the world of female-led fiction, for those readers with a desire to have a light shone on the more… outré …corners of their imaginations.
