Obsession of Sally W: The Unconquer

Russ Martin is still around. Check out his web sites;http://www.russmartin.comhttp://www.russmartin.info

Russ Martin is as good as it gets in the scary world of sex, sadism and the sexual delights of evil. His women are some of the most alluring and evil creations in this genre. The guys? Mere catspaws. In this case, Sally Wing is a lovely young lady blessed (?) with the ability to taste the flavor of other people's emotions. Sally also is a young woman with a taste for the exotic emotions--not love and joy, but those emotions that plumb the horrifying depths of the human soul. To satisfy her tastes, Sally must CREATE the emotions through a judicious blend of sexuality and terror. Eventually, her victims die as she crushes the life from their psyches. The thrill of the tale lies in watching this happen. Ultimately, Sally gets her comeuppance. Her ravenous appetite puts at risk the secret organization of evil for which she works and which granted her this power in the first place. This is mere last-chapter moralizing. The charge in this story lies in what comes before. I wonder whatever came of Martin, whose books all seem to be out of print. Maybe some lethal lovely devoured HIS emotions.
