The Governess is one of the great classical character creations in literature today. Like some gray wrath of sexual vengeance, Aunt Mary slowly and obscenely corrupts the entire family. No one, nothing is sacred from her abnormal perversions. Her shocking lusts create, of the two children she should shelter, two creatures of excess and depravity. But more—her sensual hunger reaches out to capture and destroy the very fabric of the house that keeps her.

Once again Geoffrey Neal, author of the best selling My First Time, has brought to life a terrifying female of wantonness and vengeance. Bizarre lusts seem to flow from this creature to make of anything normal, doubting, accepting, and finally self-destroying in the wild orgies that follow. Like some haunting vampire of demanding fury, Aunt Mary listens, watches, then strikes with vicious corruption personified. A masterly portrait of a sex ridden shrew determined to destroy the enclosed world about her.
