An Exorcism: Ritual Two. Sequel to: The Image of the Beast .
"In Philip José Farmer's incredible sequel to Image of the Beast , Herald Childe continues what started as a murder case -- a very gruesome one -- but which has now become a struggle against the strange and deadly beings who have taken his wife, who threaten his manhood and threaten mankind itself.
"His seems a hopeless quest. He is fighting not people but inhuman, unhuman monsters from another universe. They take grotesque physical forms, they indulge cruel whims, and they are sex-mad.
"There is Vivienne, amazingly beautiful, who used to be Joan of Arc. But she has false teeth and she comes, literally, to pieces. Her lover is a snake-like horror whose needle teeth drip aphrodisiac venom. There is Count Igescu, a real live vampire. And these three are surrounded by a grisly crowd of bizarre aliens, characters in a science fiction nightmare. But for Childe there is to be no waking up: though no one else will believe him, he knows this is for real..." [jacket blurb, UK pbk, 1975]
"More alien sex and bizarre horror from the pioneer of taboo-breaking in science fiction writing." --Henry W.Targowski (in Mark/Space , 1995).
