Aided by his first victim, Alice, Jack lures women into The Snuggery, a soundproofed dungeon in his basement, where he imposes his sexual will on them, eventually compelling each to become an active participant in her own sexual degradation. First published in 1908, The Way of a Man with a Maid is remarkable for its humour and detailed eroticism, and is a must-read for those excited by domination and submission.
