Status Updates From Satyr

Brownies with raisins. Sounds gross.

This is some troubling stuff…might dnf

Just before we go, the book carefully reminds us that rape is something that poorer men do to usually richer women. Thanks book.

The way to defeat the villain is, apparently, to act out the end of Jim Henson's Labyrinth.

"We've come from a far-away land to help you kill this monster."
"Cool deal."
"We just have to eat him after he's dead. It's a thing."
"Uh... Okay?"

All right, the one page of our villain putting the "Pan" in "panic" for an entire office building is pretty cool.

Half a dozen rapists in, and not a single one has been white. I guess that's being more unrealistic than a mind-controlling satyr in Tampa.

I somehow can't imagine a detective hitting the streets to see who in town performs goat inseminations becoming a thrilling montage.

Ever want a meeting on organizational logistics in the middle of a thriller? Me neither.

I am fascinated by our villain's quest to become the master of the local barbecue ribs restaurant. Even rapists have hobbies, I guess.

"My God! This isn't human semen! It's GOAT SEMEN!" I want a movie adaptation so badly.

We have a personality-less authorial mouthpiece protagonist and an actual goddamn satyr. Hope the world-building makes up for the hero.

This is turning into a rapey, magical version of Columbo. or maybe a more realistic SVU.

Apparently men above the poverty level can only commit date rape, not any other kind. I wonder if the monster in this book will be as terrifying as its gender politics.

Great.A horror novel opening with a lecture from a stereotyped, straw-man caricature of a feminist, I'm sure this character has only good things in her future.
