Spoiler of Men

Cyril Wentworth is a thoroughly nasty man, who has an effective means of controlling people and just wants to live a life of luxury. Unfortunately, a young woman seems to have made it her role in life to obstruct him at every turn. What is a villain to do?

Richard Marsh, best known as the author of "the Beetle", brings another story of horror and humor, of crime, retribution and . . . zombies? This story is told in a fairly modern manner and features another of Marsh's interesting female protagonists. - Summary by Alan Winterrowd (7 hr 37 min)
