Amusing thought the satirical revue below is, Demonic Congress deserves rather more. If there is any piece of erotica that better combines dark humour with the frankly bizarre and perverse, I've yet to find it, and I bet it would be written by Aishling Morgan. Demonic Congress is so far beyond the ordinary slave and dungeon stories that there is simply no comparison. Clever, convoluted, and with an open lewdness that mocks all that is prim and proper, it is a wonderful read from start to finish.

The setting is historical, but the places are real, the research detailed, and even some of the characters based on real people. Okay, so eighteenth century Dartmoor was never like this, but it should have been!

Watch out for Cyriack Coke with his infernal device, and Black John the dwarf...

I bought this book believing it would be a sexy thriller. My mistake. Nevertheless if you have an open mind you could read it and have fun. But if you think that we are now more open-minded about sex that in the 1800's read this book and you'll be appalled. On the other hand and having in mind that this is an invented story, I don't think many women would do what says here.

Staffed with Aishling Morgan's usual cast of anally obsessed women, dwarfs, upper-middle-class twits, elderly husbands and John Truscott; Demonic Congress leaves the reader dissatisfied. This book lacks much by way of dramatic tension and Morgan appears to have lost interest in the sort of lurid details which make "The Old Perversity Shop" a winner. Not so much a loser as a case of Morgan mailing it in.

When I searched on AMazon, this was trhe 1st book that cam up under "Congress," so I thouhgt it must be the best one. What I leanred today was that "Congress" must hav e more than one meening. Very good thouhg. I'
m goint to bring it to show and tell.
