A doctor’s realistic report on the darker side of love and sexual impulses gone wild

From the back:

In a frighteningly large number of people, the sexual impulse does not receive healthy gratification. It is channeled into other. darker pathways, to become a compulsive force that can transform human beings into monsters. Hiding behind a placid smile, the sexual deviate may become so warped that murder enhances his enjoyment of. and sometimes becomes the substitute for, the act of love.
In this compelling study. Dr. Woodward examines, via minutely fleshed-out case histories. convicted criminals whose misdeeds arose out of the tortured convolutions of their sexual needs.

According to pulp writer Bill Cox, “George Gross could do exciting paintings even when there were no scantily clad damsels around, and what’s more amazing, Fiction House let him!” Of course, he could also do well with the scantily clad damsels.

These are paintings commissioned as cover art, but are not the covers themselves.
