Don Winslow's Victorian Erotica

The English manor house is a place apart, a place of elegant living where in splendid isolation the gentry can freely indulge their passions for the outdoor sports of riding and hunting. Of course, there are those whose passions run toward "indoor sports" — lascivious activities enthusiastically, if discreetly, pursued by lusty men and sensual women behind large and imposing stone walls of baronial splendor, where they are safely hidden from prying eyes. These privileged few believe that even though one might indulge in the most unspeakable perversions, proper decorum must always be maintained. A facade of respectability is essential, as even grand estates with names like Rosedale, Chetem, and Follingsea become hotbeds of hedonistic pleasures, unrestrained indulgence, and sheer sexual excess. These are tales of such licentious decadence from behind the walls of these stately houses of a bygone era.
