THE HIMALAYAN DEVIL WOMAN
by Christopher Zisi
EXCERPT
The wonderful world of exploitation!
In that
particular world stewardesses were still attractive, and fiendish
mad-scientists posed real threats to the good people of Planet Earth. Diving
into that world has been loads of fun and coupled with my travels through Asia
(and Europe), my artistic juices produced The
Himalayan Devil Woman…
Born out of
the 1970s, the drive-in style of exploitation may be slightly prophetic. In
2019 males seem to be losing their masculinity and women are losing their
femininity. As political movements seem to be driving a stake between the two
sexes, the relationships between the two are dying. Men are scared to death to
date women, especially in college, and women are led to believe all men are
pigs. Definitions of rape and harassment have been expanded to include fore-play
and dating and the two sexes have no clue about how to approach each other.
With a decreasing familiarity between the two sexes, mad-scientists and female
vixens will give us a world where every beauty is an international assassin and
every hunk is either a rapist or a mad-scientist. Perhaps in a figurative sense
we are already there…
No one in
this novel is real… at least not yet. Morality and compassion are thrown out
the window in favor of carnage and world domination. Bleak? Maybe. Audiences in
the 1970s flocked to these exploitation films because they fulfilled a secret
fantasy inside them. Women were dangerous and used sex to advance their goals.
Initially, critics termed these films as misogyny and governments held hearings
wondering if they should be banned. Time is a great elixir and as the new
century rolled in, these films were suddenly seen as feminist anthems. Women
empowered! All of a sudden woman were in control and used sex, not as a
submissive duty, but as a weapon to weaken their male partners…
In a little
while you will meet the Himalayan devil woman. Shortly after that you will meet
a sultry Chinese assassin. Then several beauty pageant damsels will show a
hidden side of their psyches. Mad scientists will abound and a jaunt across the
globe will be the setting. Enjoy…
