Three tales from the collected female-led fictions of Sandrine Bessancort comprise volume-one in "The Decadence of Eve" collection and open with "The Servant Revisited"; describing the fate of a one-time golden-boy at the beginning of the twentieth-century for whom desperation leads to the unthinkable... The unthinkable being accepting employment in the service of a young and now wealthy widow who had once known him in the impoverished Russian village of their birth.
"This is followed by "The Salon of Madame Feng" and the curious and disturbing tale of an Englishman and his fiancé who visit the man's French cousin and his partner in Paris. Only to have their lives turned upon their head when their hosts suggest a visit to the salon of a Chinese mystic... A female Chinese mystic and her monstrous maid who see a far greater use for the haughty and conceited Englishman than that of husband!
The triad concludes with "The Shaming of Purbeck" and Ms Bessancort's homage to the late and great Robert Louis Stevenson in her tale of a Victorian scientist obsessed with the eradication of evil via chemical mean... And succeeds only in unleashing upon the world a female horror no man she touches can resist.
Three stories told in the grand manner by Sandrine Bessancort.
Volume-Two to follow shortly.
