Terrible Book Club
Join Chris & Paris every other Tuesday to discover if you really can judge a book by its hideous cover, bad title, or weird synopsis.
Episode 76 - Forests of the Night by S. Andrew Swann
We begin this episode by arguing about tigers and lions and eventually make our way to discussing the mechanics of human and tiger-man mating.
This book as a whole wasn't totally terrible though it does rely on a lot of noir/private eye stereotypes.
Once again, friend-of-the-show Hillary spotted this book in the wild and donated it to us.
Content Warnings: In addition to our usual barnyard language, we've got fighting, borderline beastiality, drug use, and racism.
