MEMOIRS OF A MASOCHIST

Leopold von Sacher-Masoch was an Austro-Hungar- ian who put a new word into the English language: masochism, or submission with the enjoyment of pain, Venus in Furs is regarded as his finest literary work, one that becomes compellingly alive because the author has lived the part of Sevarin, the man who fell fatally in love with Wanda von Dunajew and implored her to make him her slave. The story of how he first aroused her dangerous passion for domination, how he submitted to brutal beatings and was finally cast aside after she had taken another lover forms a tale as extraordinary as any to be found in literature. Sacher-Masoch's long suppressed story of the unhappy dilettante who degraded himself and was physically abused by his mistress may shock some, but remains a bold and unvarnished exposition of the relationship between pleasure and pain that has been hailed as an underground masterpiece.

Rip Austin knew that curvaceous
Sally Vaughn had been murdered
for her insurance money, but how
could he prove it when the local
vice lords gave orders to the town
council, police force and newspapers
- and when he, himself, was neatly
framed for two other murders?

GETTING STRIPPER KOOKY MARSH
TO GIVE HIM VITAL INFORMATION
WAS MUCH HARDER - AND LESS
FUN - THAN GETTING HER TO PART
WITH HER PASTIES, BUT IT HAD TO
BE DONE - EVEN AT THE RISK
OF HER LIFE!

Sex was the only coin that counted,
and violence the only language
spoken, until Rip Austin managed
to blow the lid off!

-From Strip, Wench...or Die! by Gene Cross, 1963
