Reactions and Reviews
One of the harder-edged stories I like, primarily because of Sebastian's writing. Bodie and Doyle torment a prisoner, both of them getting off on it sexually. The story is beautifully subtle and erotic and dark. Is this the Bodie and Doyle of the series? No, and I don't believe it was ever meant to be. This strikes me as more of a challenge story, a what-if situation. But within the world of the story, the characters have their own reality. They're not likeable, perhaps, but they're fascinating.[1]
Have I mentioned the penchant for creepy Pros stories in this issue? I probably find this creepier because I also think it's more believable than the first story. However, I'm not sure I'm completely convinced that Bodie and Doyle (there's too many Ray's running around fandom these days!) would do this, though. At least not all of it. [2]
The best part of this story is Cowley's complete obliviousness. After one-too-many Omniscient Cowley stories, this one is a bitter change of pace. [3]
