Read this book at your own peril.
Olivia Kade wrote the book that ended the world. Now she needs someone who
won’t read it.
Civilization is a lie. Hidden deep in our genes is the truth. And it is slowly
clawing its way to the surface. Olivia Kade knows the truth, and she has become
the prophet of the coming collapse. Her book, SATYR, is an
international bestseller, and it is being blamed for acts of senseless violence
and bloodshed all over the world. Olivia’s own life is in danger from those who
have read her work. Determined to conduct a book tour, she hires security
professional Connor Wilson to act as her bodyguard. She only has one
requirement: he cannot read her work.
John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness meets Chuck
Palahniuk’s Lullaby in this terrifyingly dangerous tale
of the descent of humankind where reality and fantasy collide.
Collects the entire smash 8-issue series.

Why Should You Read This?
The book is extremely well illustrated. It is a horror graphic novel. It explores themes of violence, lust, madness, and human tendency to gravitate towards the bad. It definitely has mature content, and isn’t for the weak hearted. The story and plot is interesting. However, I felt that the themes could have been further explored. I also couldn’t completely buy into the concept of people going mad because of a book. Overall, I loved that this was a graphic novel rather than an ordinary paperback novel. The images are great, and catchy. If you like graphic novels and don’t mind some gore images, go for this one.
