HOUSE OF FURY by Felice Swados

HOUSE OF FURY

By

Pub Date: Oct. 24th, 1941
Publisher: Doubleday, Doran

Story of violence, brutality, sexual antagonism and perversion in a girls' training school (alias reform school) for sex offenders. More forthright and simple in style than Faulkner or McCullers, but equally liberal in use of combustibles. (The author is the medical editor of Time.) Race riots, threatened lynching, rape, and so on. Ticklish material interestingly handled. A first novel for limited market.
