The figure of the femme fatale - seductive, cruel, irresistible - dominates these three novellas. In The black helmet the fatal woman is disguised as a governess whose disciplinary force and ridged bathing cap entice a passive young dreamer to his awakening and apotheosis. In The Fulfilled Destiny of Electra two fatal women, a mother and daughter bound by passion to the same lover, slowly destroy the body and soul of their man. Lust in Action glances at the future: here, women rule the world, lesbian love is the norm, and imprisoned boys must rebel to prove their manhood only to meet nemesis in the beautiful Marian Hope, female detective extraordinaire.
