Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - DREAD IN THE BEAST used to be a novella about the goddess of waste and the king of wasters. Now it is a novel, stuffed full of the gruesome and horrible. Taken from the mythologies and histories of humankind, it follows the trail of the Mother Spirit of the worst that the world is capable of producing. From the catacombs of ancient Rome where a blasphemous sect twisted the message of the early Christians-to modern America with its obsession with violence, deities and saints and the reincarnations of beasts battle over sublime and profane, where the very reasons for existence for us all may lie in the unthinkable.

softcover. Zustand: Fine. First edition. Charlee Jacob had ample room to elaborate upon her musings when she expanded Dread in the Beast into this novel, published in 2005. The author explores the themes of desire and degradation, heaven and hell, male violence and female victimhood conveyed through a vivid and nuanced set of characters, and wrapped up in a nightmare of the most delicious transgression.
