When the old Chicago cut loose from her moorings in an Atlantic port it was a red letter day for me. She was a good sized craft, of the French Line, and was to carry a lot of other Ameri-cans, besides myself, from the United States to France. We were all in a spirit of expectancy, mingled perhaps with sadness, for we were going over to see and have a hand in the most stu-pendous event of history, the Great War. Although many dif-ferent motives actuated us, our destination was the same, and all of us would soon be within striking distance of the scene of action. Some of those on board were going primarily from a sense of duty and gratitude to the great European Republic, whose men had come over here in '76 to help America kick off the chains which George III had welded on her ankles, and secondarily, because they wanted to kill a few of the Germans whom they right well hated. Others were going, and made no bones about saying so, be-cause they were natural born soldiers of fortune and were in-clined to go anywhere that action and excitement were likely to be found.

Four tales of husbands and fathers who find themselves at the heel of women with a governing passion to…Well... govern.A husband catches his wife with his closest friend and, rather than kill both, takes off, leaving wife, daughters, and wife behind until he can come to terms with the betrayal - not to know he is about to meet a massive and formidable Japanese woman who will make his troubles seem as nothing... A young wife uses cuckolding and age-regression to demote her older husband... Yet another wife takes advantage of her much-loved partner's contraction of Sepsis to take complete control... And an emotionally and financially lost man finds an unlikely – and certainly unsought – salvation in the home of a huge and commanding African/American woman on the backroads of Oregon.Contains:The revised & extended 2026 edition of Samuel Benson's, "e;Breakdown"e;; "e;A Husband Shamed"e; by Maria Wain-Vincent; "e;Hubby's New Place"e; from Rafael Menton; and Jason Sexton's "e;Madame Keiko"e;.Four works of fantasy female-led fiction for those reader who enjoy having the darker shores of their imaginations spiked.

Samuel Benson brings us the revised & extended 2026 edition of his interracial and female-led tale of believable fantasy.Read on, as a divorced, and emotionally and financially lost, man heads towards the Oregon home of his sister in the hope of some solace after the cruellest of betrayals by not just his wife but his teenage daughter also.Solace he will find, but in an entirely different way, when his car joins his dead cell-phone and gives up the ghost on a backroad.Which is when, now walking that same isolated backroad; Marcus Parker finally finds an unlikely – and certainly unexpected – salvation in the home of an African/American woman whose personality he finds as intimidating as her body.For Ena Yakubu, the former professional-dominatrix who, though glad to be finished with the profession that had made her financially comfortable; is not only in need of companionship but missing elements of the power and control she used to experience from her clients on a daily basis.Even if her satisfaction was diminished by the knowledge she was giving those clients exactly what they were paying to receive.No surprise then, that she sees the obviously demoralised and vulnerable white-man, calling at her home for help, as fate's answer to both her loneliness and her need to exercise personal and domestic authority of a more real and lasting kind.A kind to which she finds her desperate and depressed visitor surprisingly receptive.And, if he can be convinced, of a kind that will prove more long-term than the temporary experience before returning to his life he had imagined!Samuel Benson's short fantasy work, set in the domestic, personal, and female-led world of believable and consensual fiction, is for for those readers with a desire to have a more psychological light shone on those more outré corners of the imagination.
