The Spider's Sex Slaves,
a Bizarre Books novel by Clive Bedford,
illustrated by Bill Ward,
Eros Goldstripe,
1970s

A novel from the mid-1970s, Clive Bedford's articulate prose creates a strange world of ingenious women who developed a subterranean community where men are used as servants, slaves and playthings. The Spider Lady collects an army of competent female characters who populate a bizarre world of work, technology, armaments and wealth.

— Lady Arachna, the Spider Lady, born with six arms, heir to a gold mine, with obvious madness, sexual perversion, pathological hatred of men

— Miss West, The Spider Lady's governess and tutor.

— Dr. Klebanoff, a gifted surgeon who used her extraordinary skills to change captive men into sex-toys for the hard-working staff.

— Betty Carstairs, a beautiful soldier, a fugitive, a lesbian with an immense appetite for Donna.

Into these dangerous clutches falls a quartet of male geologists, who must be neutralized. Dr. Klebanoff grafts sex organs to some of the most unlikely parts of their bodies. When the men experiment with their newly installed appendages, they discover unimagined pleasures.

From the back cover . . .

“Imagine:
An Amazon woman who, through a cruel twist of fate, resembles a spider. She is voluptuous, devouring, and her demented mind has declared war on all mankind.

Imagine:
A female doctor with a gift for sex change operations and a mercilessly imaginative surgeon's knife.

Imagine:
A colony of beautiful but damned women who only make love to each other.

Imagine:
Men caught in the web of these women — tormented, abused, and turned into incredible sex objects to service the madness of this collective female psyche on the rampage.

Nothing you have ever experienced will match the bizarre climaxes of this erotic spider's web gone mad with desire.

THE SPIDER'S SEX SLAVES goes beyond the erotic imagination.”

a quote from the text:
"It was nothing short of miraculous, she [Lady Arachna] thought, the way in which Dr. Klebanoff operated on the male slaves. Her transplants were the work of sheer genius! And the amazing thing was that about nine out of ten were entirely successful. Of the few which were not, the doctor was usually able to redeem something, by excision of the grafted organs which were not operative. There had not been a post-operation death in almost a year! There were young men like 417 who had had a second set of genitals grafted on - and not merely “Attached,” but also connected to the nervous system in such a way that the extra ones were often far more sensitive than the originals.

Klebanoff had found a way to pad out the breasts with foam, at the same time modifying the sensory system so that, in many cases the breasts were as sensitive as the genitals.

Recently, she had surpassed herself, in grafting complete male genitals to the breasts, so that the slave had three ultra-sensitive areas, anyone of which - or all three, could be activated at the same time."
