While her super-villain husband leads an exciting life beyond the front door of their suburban home, his unnamed wife remains behind to keep the home tidy, his inventions correctly catalogued and her own dreams firmly locked away and neglected.
This neo-pulp short story focusses on the often forgotten pillar of strength behind the familiar mad scientist super-villain. With hints of 1950s conservatism, The Scoundrel's Wife is actually set in a contemporary world and offers a glimpse into the writing style of Ben Langdon which blends the ordinary with the extraordinary.
