The Whip Mistress

Not to be included in the canon of Hellerotica, as laid down by Patrick Kearney, our sacred bibliographer. Still this work, part of Girodias' revival of the van Heller name for the late '60s Ophelia line, is an impressive account of a Hollywood star, marooned in England, imprisoned by hypocrites, sexually abused, who makes a comeback with his wits and physical gifts, educating various female members of the populace on the right way to do things, achieving his revenge in legendary fashion. True, the author himself is British like Jenn Crowell was worthy, but it's still a van Heller and merits attention.
