Scarce second book by sex worker Terence Sellers (1952 - 2016) a.k.a “Madame Angel Stern” and “Sterling LeVay".
"How did I describe you to a friend in a letter? He did not know you, and I took license in telling him: forever out of reach, adamantly sexual, more than a little cruel, angelic."
"Three stories of unrequited love whose result is death. Sadomasochistic in flavour, they were written by the author at the age of 21 before she had become conversant with the subject, except via temperament. Stringently lyrical and charged with a near-hysterical passion, this work has been favorably compared with the works of the French Symbolists."
