Duet-Five in the "Diabolical Duets" collection brings us two tales of men on desperate times who fall to domestic-service in the home of the "Diabolical" female.

Read on, as Ms Rachilde's "Manservant" describes the fall from grace of a dissolute English gentleman in the 1920's. A man wholly out of options. This after his inheritance has been squandered and his debts including one to a vengeful and homicidal underworld figure - have become unsustainable... Which is the very point when he receives an offer from a solicitor and friend... An offer giving him the "Opportunity" to become the full-time live-in house-man to a trio of financially sound and genteel ladies with very specific "romantic" takes.

We finish with Sandrine Bessancort's "The Servant Revisited", her tale of how a destitute one-time golden-boy from a poverty-stricken Russian village attempts to find his fortune in Moscow at the beginning of the twentieth-century... Doing so to find success elusive and only failure and hunger awaiting him... Before, that is, dispirited and at his lowest ebb, he finds unbelievably what had been his true calling all along in the home of a woman from his former village... A young woman and widow with a an opening for a particularly servile and attentive retainer!

2-Believable and fantasy female-led tales of an early kind of feminism and human bondage - in the style of the early 20th Century masters of the genre - for the reader who enjoys having the imagination tweaked rather than bludgeoned.
