Sandrine D'Honfleur pays tribute to the great Robert Louis Stevenson with this nod towards his fiction of the nineteenth-century.

Read on, as "The Shaming of Purbeck" describes how a Victorian doctor and scientist, obsessed with discovering and isolating the gene from which springs good and evil in an individual, develops a compound he believes will by-pass the less wholesome of the two traits while leaving its polar-positive intact.

Unfortunately, what could happen should the opposite prove true doesn't occur to him.

A quite contrary outcome that succeeds in eradicating the more wholesome of the two traits and leaves its malignant counterpart in complete control of the body belonging to his test-subject.

The body of a woman with a new-found taste for control of the most depraved, sadistic, and sometimes final, kind!

Believable female-led fantasy fiction for those readers with a desire to have a light shone on the more... outré ...corners of their imaginations.
