First up is Ezra Bedford’s “Kiss of Evil”, the tale of an English journalist in Egypt who falls foul of an ancient curse that commits him to a life in the service of a pitiless native woman; second is Sandrine Bessancort’s homage to Sax Rohmer, “The Dance of the Veils Revisited”, in which a disgraced ex-officer of the British army finds his fall from grace completed as he falls inexorably under the spell of an Arab madam in London’s Limehouse and one of her dancers.Retro and erotic female-led fiction for the connoisseur of literature''s most dominant, commanding, and depraved heroines.
