Blanche Fury Or Fury's Ape

JOSEPH SHEARING

Publication: Harrison-Hilton Books, 1939, New York

First U. S. edition. Pseudonym for Gabrielle Margaret Vere Campbell. Fine in dust jacket with minor wear to the fore-corners. "A proud, beautiful, morbid woman with a parched thirst for vengeance is the subject of this thriller, which takes place in mid-Victorian England." "Blanche Fury, a sensitive and high-mettled young woman, is forced to act as governess in the spacious home of cousins whom she despises and envies. She is drawn by the ties of poverty and pride toward a man similarly placed in the family. The evil in her breast feeds upon the evil in his, until they are engulfed in crimes from which either would have shrunk appalled before their meeting." Filmed in England in 1948, using the same title that starred Valerie Hudson and Stewart Granger.
