2-Fantasy works, set in the female-led world of the occult, open with Rafael Menton's "Bound in Port-au-Prince"; his sequel to "A Woman of Haiti".

Read on, as a misadventure that started in London and ended badly in Haiti repeats itself with the surviving Curzon brother whose older sibling left for the Carribean some years before against his own wishes. Doing so to find only disgrace, torment, and death at the hands of the island woman with mesmeric powers who had taken a shine to him... Strange and mesmeric powers that are now calling to the younger of the two to join her that events might be repeated!

Sandrine D' Honfleur's "The Shaming of Purbeck" follows this, as 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... And leaves only sadism and a desire to torment in the female housekeeper he chose to unknowingly be the first recipient of his concoction.

2-Books of fantasy and the occult, written in the female-led style for for those readers with a desire to have a light shone on the more... outré ...corners of their imaginations.
