"Favisham's Fall... Plus-2" fetches us 3-books of retro and exotic female-led storytelling, describing scenarios of possession and psychological human bondage... As well as horror and the occult.
In our first story, the friend of an Englishman gone missing on the Subcontinent travels to India on behalf of that friend's worried fiancé... And finds he has not only become enamoured of a young woman there but appears totally obedient to her... Worse, he finds he himself is beginning to feel and act in the same way towards that young woman's own friend.
Next, another Englishman breaks off a wine-buying trip to visit a strange town that seems somehow familiar to him - though he is convinced he has never visited it before... It turns out he is wrong and the women of the town have been waiting some years for one of his line to return... And the greeting he receives will stay with him for as long as he lives!
Our final tale involves an affluent Londoner who, while visiting Paris with his fiancé, encounters a compelling woman from the Carpathians of Romania. Not just compelling and mesmeric but utterly evil as she demands he cut off his fiancé in the coldest of ways and travels back to London with him to take command of his affairs... For as long as he is alive to have any, that is!
Contained inside are:
"Favisham's Fall" by West Haven; "Destin Sur Sarthe" from Theo Hopcraft; and Rafael Menton's "Rodic Cel Tradat".
Occult driven female-led fiction of an exotic, decadent, and psychological nature, for those readers who prefer to use their imaginations with the help of character-driven narratives and believable plotlines.
