The Devil's Equinox by John Everson
3.0
Devils Equinox is a bit of a tough one to put in a box, at least for me it is. I had assumed this was more of a horror, but that doesn’t really change my review of what we’ve got here. I say that only to let anyone reading this know what to expect. If i HAD to call it something, it would seem to me more off an Occult/Dark fantasy/ erotic hybrid. What’s here is well written, and those who are into those types of books would find even more enjoyment in it than I did.
Shortly after the death of his wife, which he had wished for, Austin enters into a relationship with his neighbor Regina. It doesn’t take long for things to get hot and heavy. Not everything is what it seems, as Austin, the protagonist finds out. It isn’t long before he is mixed up in a plot for power at the expensive of his daughter. Sex is a major part of this book. If that turns you off or bothers you, this book isn’t for you. If blasphemy is a turn off, this book isn’t for you. There is a lot of sex in this novel, a lot of it with occult and satanistic tones. I want to stress that because of sex and sacrilegious images are something you can’t deal with, you aren’t going to be able to make it through this.
Devils Equinox is a well written, occult/ dark erotic novel. Its a quick read. Further fleshing out of the protagonist and antagonist would have been beneficial to the story, but if the things I touched on don’t bother you, I suspect that you will enjoy this book. I did have fun reading this, although at times it made me feel very uncomfortable. I think that fans of these types of books would enjoy it even more than I did.
