Snatched
Lance Corporal Hotrod has returned from tour in the Middle East serving his country. His return to normality in the UK is brief. He is snatched by an order of bizarre femme supremacists who seize him, take him prisoner and subject him to a host of sexual savageness. His mind is affected as he is moved to the dark side of his intimate perception. Three years of conflict have done nothing to prepare him for the extreme lustful passion, and animalistic degradation that awaits him in this house of fantastic femme fatales.
