Spring Fire by Vin Packer

Spring Fire

Vin Packer

Her silky black hair. Her low-cut gown. Her sparkling sorority pin. It’s autumn rush in the Tri Epsilon house, and the new pledge, Susan Mitchell-‘Mitch’ to her friends-trembles as the fastest girl on campus, the lovely Leda Taylor, crosses the room toward her for a dance. Will Leda corrupt Mitch? Or will the strong and silent Mitch draw the queen of Tri Ep into the forbidden world of Lesbian Love?

Spring Fire was the first lesbian pulp novel ever published. The original 1950s cover blared: ‘A story once told in whispers now frankly, honestly written.’ Shameless and seductive in an era when lesbian lives were hidden from view, Spring Fire chronicles the story of Leda and Mitch, two sorority sisters at a Midwestern university who stumble into a forbidden love affair. While their romance ends unhappily – in order to satisfy U.S. postal inspectors who would have seized shipments of a novel that affirmed lesbian love – Spring Fire touched the lives of countless lesbian and gay readers and cleared the way for the hundreds of lesbian pulps that were to come. This edition includes a new introduction by the author describing the story behind the novel’s initial publication.
