Title: Mistress of Falconhurst
Author: Lance Horner
Cover artist: Uncredited
Yours for: Not for Sale (gift to the collection from Laurie Gagne)
Best things about this cover:
- You had me at Mandingo-font.
- Antebellum Lambada!
- His left hand is terrifying.
Best things about this back cover:
- "Did we mention MANDINGO? MANDINGO!"
- What kind of hell-on-earth do you have to create in order to become "the South's most notorious slave plantation"? Don't answer.
- "Sometimes it was hard to tell who was master and who was slave." — when I'm trying to tell master from slave, I use this simple heuristic: the slave is the black one.
- For some reason the phrase "... as only Lance Horner can tell it" is making me LOL.
Page 123~
He put his left arm around Djoubo's naked waist and drew him close, hefting his huge genitals in his right hand.
This is — swear to god — the least offensive thing on this page. What the hell, 1970s readers?

Re. the page 123 excerpt: whose huge genitals are "his" huge genitals? That's the great scourge of writing homosexual sex scenes -- goddamn ambiguous pronouns.
PS: Not that I (ahem, cough) have any firsthand knowledge of writing homosexual sex scenes...
PPS: Not that there's anything WRONG with writing homosexual sex scenes...
