Woman of Ill Fame is a historical romp about Gold Rush prostitute Nora Simms.

Read a review in the SF Guardian written by Kemble Scott here.

For when the body of a man is changed into the body of a beast, or a dead body is brought to life, such things only seem to happen, and are a glamour or illusion; or else the devil appears before men in an assumed body.
