Evil

by Timothy Carter

Overview

Book of Stuart, Chapter 1:10. 10 And, yea verily, Stuart did commit the Sin of Onan in the shower. And this was witnessed by his own brother who did cry out unto their mother. And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. 11 And the townspeople rose up against him and all Onaners, calling upon one another to tear the youthful sinners limb from unclean limb. And there was much pants wetting. 12 And lo, Stuart did join forces with the demon, Fon Pyre, and together they did set forth to discover the cause of the town's trouble. 13 And, hark! A pair of fallen angels would plant seeds of hatred unto the townspeople. And on the seventh day, Stuart did vow to rip the fallen angels a new one and layeth upon them an epic smacketh-down.

Editorial Reviews

Gay Canadian teen Stuart Bradley touches off a town-wide paroxysm of righteous fury when he . . . erm, touches HIMSELF. Overnight everyone (except the cool town priest, Father Reedy) comes to agree that the Sin of Onan is the worst possible sin. With the reluctant help of Fon Pyre, a summoned demon, Stuart discovers that the source of the mania is the new Biblical Scriptures teacher at school, who is, in fact, a Fallen Angel. The two set out with the equally reluctant assistance of sometimes-attractive-but-always-chicken Chester (who once shared a clandestine if chaste night of passion with Stuart) to save the town and, it turns out, the world from a horde of demons ready to enter our plane of existence on the wave of hatred set in motion by the Fallen Angel. Carter's latest modern fantasy turns a critical and satirical eye on the evangelical fear of all things sexual. Never unfair or prurient, this laugh-filled romp will supply the right reader with a thing or two to think about as well as a host of new euphemisms for masturbation, making it educational as well as vastly entertaining. (Fantasy. YA)
