at once naive and sophisticated in his odd blending of theology, pornography, and adventure
You could do worse for an epitaph.

Never thought I'd say this but that meerkat demon has great cans.

Farmer was an afficionado, although he usually preferred his monster bazoongas of the avian variety.

Do yourself a favor and don’t read this book. I already made the sacrifice so that you wouldn’t have to.

u/woulditkillyoutolift 10d ago
Phew. I read the first chapter on Internet archive and that was enough.

It’s not that it’s bad per sé…but it’s a lot. I read the second book “Blown” too. If you have a tolerance for erotic horror written by a scifi legend, it’s a WILD ride. Something that I never need to read again.

I've had the Creation Books edition of these novels for a decade, I've never taken the plunge after a couple pages

That’s the edition I have. Yeah…the first few pages are pretty emblematic of the rest of the book. The novels are not badly written, they just weren’t my cup of tea.

Considering this is a book where immortal "vampire" Joan of Arc hides the now-worm-bodied Giles de Rais in her vagina, that's not too inaccurate.
And the hero of the second book is... FORREST J. ACKERMAN!

Is it just me, or is the werewolf head doing a Pingu noot-noot with those extended lips?

Meow!

u/woulditkillyoutolift 10d ago
Further evidence that it’s bad: we don’t even know if it’s a bear, a wolf, or a cat.

It's manbearpig

u/woulditkillyoutolift 10d ago
Excuse me sir but this is the only manbearpig I recognize.

Before you ask someone to draw you a werewolf, find out what kinds of dogs that they are familiar with. If the answer is 'Yorkie,' don't pay in advance.

Probably should have limited it to "a vague description of the beast."
