Taboo Tuesday Read: January 23, 2018
It's our first Taboo Tuesday Read of 2018 and this one does not disappoint!
Wayne Mansfield has a knack for tantalizing with just enough taboo to engage us. His latest, Goodbye to the Jungle, does just that with elements of capture, slavery, and non-con situations.
Opening with Jahl making every effort to avoid capture the stage is set. Overtaken by five men and immediately freed of his loincloth, Jahl is totally exposed as he is transported to encounter his fate.
Bound, humiliatingly displayed, and his body explored by eyes and hands of strangers, Jahl’s free will is also stripped from him. Against his will, his body reacts to the sensations bestowed upon him. As the bidding begins, Jahl resigns himself to his fate and hangs on to the hope that he will one day escape.
To find out more about Jahl check out my 4 heart read recommendation then pick up a copy of Wayne Mansfield’s Goodbye to the Jungle.

About Goodbye to the Jungle
Jahl lives with his people, the Hamica, in the jungles of a nameless world. They live at one with nature. It’s a simple existence, centred around family and community.
One day all this is snatched away when Jahl is captured by slavers. But he’s a proud man from a proud people, and he never shows his fright or anxiety, despite what he feels inside. They take him through the jungle, through swampland and farmland, to a town that has seen many like him come before.
In a strange, wooden building in the middle of the town square, Jahl is put into a harness, naked and spread-eagle for all who have gathered there to see. It’s humiliating and degrading, especially when the bidding starts.
For the first time, Jahl is truly frightened. Who will purchase him? And for what purpose?
