Slave Girls: The Shocking World of Human Bondage (St. Martin's True Crime Classics) Kindle Edition

by Wensley Clarkson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 37 ratings

***Please note: This ebook edition does not contain the photos found in the print edition.***

Secret prisoners behind closed doors, they were real-life Cinderellas-- with no hope of rescue. Nowhere to run...nowhere to hide...nowhere to turn...

Enter today's sordid world of slaves and masters, where innocent young girls are sold to the rich, and subjected to horrifying degradation.

Beautiful Laxmi was the servant of two Arab princesses who regularly beat her and even yanked out her gold teeth. Bleeding and hysterical, she escaped-- only to be returned to the evil sisters.

Helen was allowed two to four hours of sleep a night by the married couple who kept her. Rarely did a day pass that she wasn't slapped, kicked, punched, and beaten by this cruel doctor and his wife.

Marita was sold by her husband to his best friend as a sex slave. He forced her to endure horrific beatings-- often locked in wooden stocks.

Virtual captives in the mansions of the rich and famous, they risked their lives to tell their stories for the first time, in Wensley Clarkson's Slave Girls.

    There's an astonishing lack of details - some chapters even omit names, dates and places, that is to say: how do you know it really happened, if you can't validate it?
    I strongly recommend reading the more specific books on the subject (available from Amazon, of course) - for instance: House of Evil, Fred and Rose, Invisible Darkness, Dismembered and Deviant. All these were highly disturbing, though.

    This is light reading about a very complex subject. Each terrible tale asks more questions than it tells. I can't imagine that this book was meant to be anything other than a cheap thrill.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2004
    Slaves girls takes you into a world, you'd like to believe doesn't exsist.
    The book goes onto detail various crimes, of human enslavement. I would've liked a more In-depth look into Slavery and sex Crimes, however this book contains only short chapters.
    This book held my interest completely, and left my wanting more.
    I Like the writing style, but it could've been perfected.
    I read alot of true crime books, I'd suggest this to anyone interested in True Crime.
    Thank You for Reading my book Review and Happy Reading!!!!

    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2015
    This was the most descriptively gruesome human trafficking book I have read outside of the child soldier ones (and I've read 80 books on the subject).

    What I liked about this book was that it was raw and based on modern-day slavery set in the 1980s-1990s (the book was written in 1996). I don't really hear of many accounts from that time, though I know it existed, but it shows how much more often people got away with things and how much more the cost of slavery is (the prices are lower since the internet boomed which is scarier).

    These are stories about girls forced into sexual slavery or slave labor (such as live-in maids), either kidnapped, drugged, coerced, you name it.

    Chapter 3 was more of crime investigation story but it is about a man who kept slave girls in his basement, but it doesn't paint enough of a story of how sex slaves today work (but goodness this was the most gruesome chapter and hardest to read out of the entire book). The whole book graphically tells of how these women were abused.

    Not all of these stories have happy endings, so be prepared. Definitely one that I enjoyed, as hard as it was to read.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2007
    The book did not have enough information to make it interesting. Very short stories on modern slavery in a civilized (?) world. It makes you wonder what makes some people feel they have the right to rule someone else. I felt like its stories were just "SAME CRIME"..."DIFFERENT DAY". Did not hold my interest.

    A shameful indictment on modern society.
    Here in Britain we have passed new laws to enable victims to get help passport or not.
    Please stop saying, "Queen of England" either H.M The Queen or Elizabeth II sounds better especially to the Scots, Irish and Welsh.
    It was however a good book. Those poor lassies:(

    Although the content may be true, I think the stories in this book are fiction. How can he write about someone's private thoughts? Garbage and only trying to sensationalize the stories.
