THESE ACTS ARE CONDEMNED

(New York): Bee-Line, 1976. Very good plus.. Remarkably scarce sleaze erotica by the conservative humorist and author of CONFESSIONS OF A FAILED SOUTHERN LADY, characteristic of the period in which King "wrote thirty-seven paperback porn novels in which I was supposed to sound like a man and did." King's sleaze career appears in lightly fictionalized form in her 1982 novel WHEN SISTERHOOD WAS IN FLOWER, with a memorable set of publisher's guidelines and the following editorial advice: "The most important thing to remember is not to try anything fancy, like telling a story [...] For gosh sakes, don't write anything funny, whatever you do." 7'' x 4''. Original printed burgundy wrappers. All edges tinted yellow. "Previously published as THE LESBIAN NEXT DOOR." 252 pages followed by publisher's advertisements. Light wear and scuffing to covers.
