![]() ![]() ![]() The novel opens with a very graphic sex magic scene that removes any doubt that this novel is going to be the acme of exploitative, gratuitous 70's British sex horror. ![]() ![]() Shackleford is that novelist and Tanith Rowan is that fictional woman! Let's look inside. Isn't "lissome" a great word? It means "thin, supple, and graceful." But it just sounds like a word that a horny guy novelist would use while trying to describe a horny woman. It warns of "slaves of Satan" who are "unequivocally male" who are determined to survive with the help of "the lissome, sensual Tanith!" If the sight of a naked woman orgasming on the back of a flying, bat-winged ram while a red-robed Reaper grinds on her from behind doesn't make you the least bit curious about the book's contents, then are you really even alive? As for the blurb on the back cover, its text is no less tawdry than the front cover's visuals. After all, I may be metal AF but I'm not going to wear a shirt with art from a book I haven't read!įirst of all, let's just take a moment to appreciate Tanith's cover art. When I discovered that the artwork on that shirt was also the cover art (by fantasy art legend Christos Ahciellos, no less,) of this obscure occult horror novel, I became obsessed with obtaining and reading it. A few years ago I attended a concert by the heavy metal band Night Demon and bought a t-shirt. ![]()
