Seven women, fascinated by the rumors surrounding the enigmatic and brutal Féléor Barthélémy Rü, become his wives.

Each woman recounts her personal experience with this young, wealthy, and attractive man who inhabits a castle in a mysterious town. Féléor takes excessive pleasure in raw meat and brutality, and the wives, aware of the scandalous rumors surrounding him, voluntarily surrender to his dark fantasies. The work is not just a gothic horror story, but a profound exploration of the psychology of desire, surrender, and female identity in the face of the modern ogre figure. The eight-voice narration allows for the contrast of different reactions and emotions, from fascination to terror, weaving a choral tale about the nature of love and violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReinterpretation of the Bluebeard myth from a feminine and contemporary perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eExploration of sexuality and eroticism in their darkest and most extreme forms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between desire, voluntary submission, and power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eViolence as an aesthetic and narrative element within romantic relationships.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe construction of identity through intimate experience and personal writing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor readers interested in contemporary literary fiction with shades of dark, gothic erotica.
