Publisher's Synopsis
"Had we given you up to justice," said he, "you would merely have been hanged, but your crime deserves something much more painful than that, and I am going to inflict it upon you myself. To have you stripped naked before me, and have you fastened up quite helpless for me to torture as long as I like regardless of any consequences to you is a fitter punishment for what you have done!"
When Mistress Gladys sends an urgent cable to Mr. Howard, his curiosity is piqued enough to immediately set out on a transatlantic trip to her Bostonian school for young women. Her quandary is a most peculiar one and one upon which our two lascivious willed protagonist will take the utmost advantage: Mary Bostock has poisoned another student and would otherwise be hung but for Gladys secreting he evidence at the behest of her worried mother. Set up with new identity and installed in a secure unit attached to a gymnasium, our murderess will endure all manner of humiliating deed and device much to the profound and prolonged pleasure of our flagellate extrodinare.
Bound with cord, straps, and fastened from floor and ceiling by rings and pulleys, Mary will adopt a range of contortions while whip, rod, birch, and nettles are applied liberally to her stripped and nubile form. But will her chastisement awaken within her a pleasure unparalleled or will Mr. Howard's enthusiasm leaving her gasping and blushing with absolute mortification?
The Amazing Chastisements of Miss Bostock, secured by the agents of the infamous publisher Charles Carrington while exiled in Paris and pseudonymously written in 1908 by the author of Maud Cameron and Her Guardian, The Two Lascivious Adventures of Mr Howard, Fantastic Chastisements, and in the same uncompromisingly Sadian vein as The Pleasures of Cruelty and Experimental Lecture(also available from Locus Elm Press), is a fine example of Victorian flagellation erotica, replete with licentiously graphic prose and of all deeds and devices bound and unbound.
