RAMBLE HOUSES ROUGH TRADE

 

Ramble House is notorious for its Harry Stephen Keeler and Norman Berrow libraries — as well as other great, but obscure, authors from the past century — but one thing they all have in common is their relative sexual tameness. But the Ramble House spectrum of salaciousness is much broader. Indeed, we have a veritable brothel of bawdy books, none of which can be found anywhere else in the world. Check out these sizzling hot items, all with seductive covers by Gavin L. O’Keefe!

LOVE SONG by Philip Jose Farmer, 210 pages

   Back in 1969 one of our most talented SF authors needed some cash and decided to write a pornographic gothic tale of a man and the two women (mother and daughter) who enchant him to the depths of depravity. It's one of the best and hardest to find novels of its kind.

This is the first edition since its 1942 debut to be relatively typo-free so there are no distractions on your way to its many, many happy endings, each one more kinky than the last.

THE WEREWOLF VS. THE VAMPIRE WOMAN by Arthur M. Scarm, 130 pages

 Apparently written in the 60s, this novel is the perennial winner of several “worst book” awards and it won’t take you many sentences to realize why. It appears to have been written by a psychotic and addresses several aspects of vampirism and lycanthropy we’ve been happy to gloss over for the whole of human history.

SEX SLAVE by Dion Le Clerq, 130 pages

TIRESIAS by Jonathan M. Sweet, 240 pages

   This is a brand new 2007 novel by the proprietor of Smoking Cat Productions that gives new meaning to the term: identity crisis. It starts with a case of mistaken identity, escalates to murder, then settles in for a host of other vices and personality problems that make Psycho look like The Sound of Music. And parts of it may be true!

NOVELS OF N.R. DE MEXICO by Robert Bragg, 360 pages

   Three classic novels by the enigmatic N.R. De Mexico (now known to be Robert Bragg): Marijuana Girl, Madman on a Drum and Private Chauffeur. These are not as lubricious as the books above but this collection of all of De Mexico’s novels is a must for any serious collector of drug erotica. Marijuana Girl is the essential saga of how the drug laws of this country have ruined the lives of innocent young people and Madman on a Drum is one of the best Cornell Woolrich-like suspense novels ever written.

THE COMPLEAT CALHOON: Writings and Memoirs of Fender Tucker by Fender Tucker, 360 pages

   While many of the stories and reminiscences of this complete collection of Calhooniana are not erotic — perhaps just the opposite — there are a few of his sexual memoirs that justify this book’s being included on this page. Plus you get a CD with all of the songs he wrote in those days, including the “dirty” ones.
