Duo-Seven in the "Duos of Reversal" collection contains two tales of fantasy and female-led reversals - one of them involving occult possession; both tales being of outrageous but somehow believable provenance. Read on, as one unsuspecting Brit finds his marital adultery and carefree attitude to important issues has risen up to bite him in ways from which, as a man in his forties in today's youth obsessed world, he sees little chance of recovering.
"Ways" consisting of divorce, dismissal, and penury that explain his presence in the home of a younger Indian woman after responding to her ad and living rent-free in return for providing services as her temporary handyman... A handyman whose stay in her expensive home the manipulative younger Indian woman is intent upon fashioning into something not only more long-term but far more. useful! A successful but faithless and overbearing husband finds himself ousted from his business and demoted in the household pecking order to become little more than domestic-help for his vengeful wife and 16-year-old stepdaughter.
This after a visit to see his former business partner's widow, Sreelatha, and drinking a strange tea served by her housekeeper, Abhaya. A tea that not only makes him susceptible to suggestion but will lead to his wife befriending the widow herself and ensuring she too begins to exercise authority over him. At least until he is considered worthy of entering the service of both controlling widow and draconian Indian housekeeper! Duo-Seven contains: "A Life Changing Discovery" from Malkin Jamali; and "Serving Sreelatha" by Kurt Steiner.  2-Believable, if outrageous, fictional fantasies from the past and the present; written in the female-led style with a psychological and occult perspective for those readers with a preference for exercising the darker side of the imagination with the help of credible and character-driven plotlines.
