Review of The Harlot Goddess by author John Reinhard Dizon
The Harlot Goddess by N. Onym is a dark and sensual tale centered on Lilith, the supernatural seductress after whom the novel is named. This is a highly stylized work which may well qualify as postmodernist literature in the surreal narrative that may be interpreted as the author’s literal voiceover. Most readers would concur that his pen name would be translated as Unknown (the mathematical symbol `N’ as the -nym), and the bio tells us that he gets his inspiration from Parts Unknown. By Chapter Two, there is little doubt that we are being taken on a guided tour through the netherworld, and Onym makes sure this is the next best thing to being there.
The book is divided into five lengthy chapters which appear to correlate the Scriptural narrative from the Creation to the development of the Ancient World. Chapter One, As She Darkly Pleases, goes back to the dawn of man and the creation of magik. Chapter Two makes an allusion to the Book of Isaiah and the rebellion of Satan in The Serpent, The Son and the Morning Star. Chapter Three is as an orgiastic cross between Paradise Lost and Dante’s Inferno as we are introduced to Her Daughters, Like White Spiders..and Others. Chapter Four – Evernight becomes the consummation of evil desires and demonic lust as the communicant enters into an unending rite of intercourse with the harlot goddess. The book concludes with Whilst Gods Slumber as the communicant steps away from the netherworld to absorb the depths of depravity and eternal slavery to forbidden desire.
This is some cutting edge stuff, and if you’ve considered reading Anton LaVey or Alistair Crowley but didn’t want to go quite that far, The Harlot Goddess by N. Onym may be a safe place to indulge your darkest fantasies.

Review of The Harlot Goddess by author Steve Soderquist
The ability to create a well-written, dark novel takes on many levels when it comes to the written word.
Many authors will follow the well-woven tracks of predecessors who have enthralled readers with their originality, leaving the reader with a sense of wonder as to how such a creativity came to be. The stories themselves seem to place a signature mark more defining than a trade-mark; more definitive than any copy-write ever could.
N. Onym created such a novel with his latest, ‘The Harlot Goddess’. My first suggestion when reading this book is to find a comfortable place where you can be undisturbed, and allow yourself to be fully immersed. It is not a tale for the weak of mind or heart.
The tapestry woven in his book is as thought-provoking as it is likened to a beautifully choreographed dance. The reader is chilled to the bone by the dark hole that may have once been a woman (the beautiful antagonist Lilith), who’s single-minded purpose and drive has self-created a creature of complication so gleefully evil, that you will fear her and want to be with her at the same time, if only for a moment. But with Lilith, there is no such thing as only a moment.
Written with stunning imagery and imagination, N. Onym will share the darkest side of pleasure and pain. The needs of her unquenchable appetite are burned into everything and everyone she touches. By the time I was finished with ‘The Harlot Goddess’, I had the feeling that if this Red Star of a woman were to only glance your way and you were unfortunate enough to glance back, you were already lost to her.
Five stars to N. Onym for this novel based on its creativity, thought-provoking dives into a world as close to Hell as man will be allowed to go and still be allowed to live, (twisting and turning in agony of pain and ecstasy of pleasure) and for setting a precedence for those who dare to ask, “Can you scare me?”
Yes, this novel answers…yes, I can.

Incubus becoming
She calls unto you like the lamentations of the ancient desert, like the frenzied grief of one hundred women. She has a hundred voices at once, ululant and sonorous, while a chorus of succubi bay along.~The Harlot Goddess

Her iris of abyss
Venom becomes its waters, its blood, its humors, and marrow. Venom becomes the color of bones through and through, the color of ebon and dark misdeeds.~The Harlot Goddess

Deflower and devour
She suffers beneath you, incubus, destroyer of wombs, breather of the eating winds that wither womanhood. You are her worst night, and are about to deflower the mystique of motherhood that has been thriving since her First Mother.~The Harlot Goddess

Your grave, her bosom
Think not to hide from her in a grave. She will smell you out and reawaken that destroying lust and desire which only she can inspire. Then you will live death beneath her, burning with decay and parasites in penance for trying to escape into death.~The Harlot Goddess

She nears, and is naked and bloodless beneath the moon. She is pallid as a bled suicide, as a womanly visitation arisen for whatever reason the dead may ever have to cast off the cerecloth.~The Harlot Goddess

Inhuman human
Some will awaken unable to resist the silent coercions of fire, the seduction that calls to be lit that it may have an arabesque love of skin.~The Harlot Goddess
