The Veil of Silk... Plus-2

"The Veil of Silk… Plus-2" brings us three female-led fantasy tales dealing with themes of the occult, the supernatural, and human bondage. 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 and father project-managing in the middle-east drinks too much and lands in prison… Only to come to the attention of the wealthy and powerful Madam Quadira… A wealthy and powerful woman who decides she'd prefer it if he remained in her land… For good! A jaded English businessman looking for an escape to the East-Coast of England finds himself in a strange, small, and highly delightful Suffolk fishing village… A delightful fishing village, he soon learns, that is presided over by a dictatorial French woman and the women sharing her home… Women, especially their large and formidable Caribbean housekeeper, who see much potential in him! This volume contains: "Rune of Evil", by Kurt Steiner; "Madam Quadira" from Estelle Marchant; and Rafael Menton's "The Veil of Silk". 3-Books of believable fantasy female-led fiction for those readers who prefer to have their imagination teased rather than bludgeoned.
