This is a small-format pulp-fiction publication in that specialist branch of the erotic punishment literature that deals with all-female dominant/submissive relationships, verging on the excessive in its portrayal of corporal chastisement. It includes a large number of characters and extreme situations, principally those involving states of slavery. The scenario is a remotely situated 'farm', to which rich women pay to indulge their fantasies in the whipping of submissives and in the carrying out of other, less-than-usual erotic and scatological practices. The number of characters at the Farm in the period described makes the book a little hard to follow, as does the lack of strong story-lines involving more than two or three of the women. Promising developments remain unexploited, and the work suffers from a half-hearted air, including the weakly apocalyptic ending. ( )
