The bequest of a house and a sizable annuity from a deceased aunt effects huge changes in the mindset of a previously loving wife.

Especially when she takes receipt of a document in her aunt's hand that details her relationship with the man she had always called "Uncle" and thought so distinguished and masculine.

At first she is shocked by the discovery of how completely her aunt had dominated the man's life… then repulsed… and then aroused at the possibility of having such a relationship with her own husband who, as fate would have it, has just seen his business go into receivership and is now dependent upon her and her aunt's legacy for the food he eats and the roof above his head.

A roof, the born-again dominant that is his wife has decreed will be below stairs in the specially designed basement that had once been the home of her uncle… A basement in which she has carried out certain… modifications!

If you like tales of assertive women who are both erotic and believable, without being too obvious, you are likely to enjoy this collection of stories from a female-led perspective on the subject of crime, horror, the occult and the bondage of man to woman.

Rafael Menton is a Professor of English Literature with a retro passion for the early to mid-twentieth-century fiction of mystery, crime, suspense, and horror with erotic undertones; ranging from Doyle and Blackwood and on to Rohmer – as well as sometimes indulging in a more contemporary take of his own on the work of those masters.
