Anise Pemberton brings us the 2025 Edition of "The Spiral She Led |Him Down", her cautionary female-led fantasy of what can happen when a man rides roughshod over a wife until she loses all affection for him.

Read on as, three wives in the English Home-Counties wrestle with a common problem they have each had for years.

Namely: their husbands.

Overbearing blowhards and skin-deep alphas who save their best efforts for the golf-course and its nineteenth-hole.

And do so while treating their better halves as little more than hired-help.

Or at least used to, until the appearance in the wives' lives of a strange and powerful African family change the whole marital dynamic.

And change it in ways the men will not like and will not have any power to stop.

Ways that will see power transfer itself to the women with a finality that will be - for them at least - emphatic, euphoric, and for one of the husbands, tragic!

Believable and cautionary fantasy-fiction from a marital and female-led perspective, written in the psychological style for those readers with a preference for exercising the darker side of the imagination with the help of credible and character-driven plotlines.
