But what if his compound succeeds in eradicating the wholesome trait and leaving its malignant counterpart in control of the body belonging to his test-subject and housekeeper?
With “Ancient Sorceries Revisited”, a timid English visitor to a sleepy French town finds himself curiously unable to leave under the supervision of a monstrous, yet strangely erotic, landlady of whom the men seem so cowed.
