- More about Pity the Beast
Pity the Beast is a mind-melting feminist Western that explores sexual violence and vengeance in a wide and strange America, challenging assumptions about the West, masculinity, good and evil, and storytelling. It urges us to write our stories anew to avoid becoming beasts ourselves.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 384 pages

Publisher: And Other Stories
A woman who has been brutalized is left for dead, but she is not. She flees into the mountains on a stolen horse and rifle, and a small group of her tormentors must gear up and give chase. Whether they seek forgiveness or want to silence her for good, nobody knows.
This mind-bending feminist Western weaves a tale of sexual violence and vengeance against a backdrop as vast and strange as America itself. It challenges our assumptions about the West, masculinity, good and evil, and the very nature of storytelling. With a cosmic and comic perspective, it urges us to rewrite our stories to avoid becoming beasts ourselves.
The woman's journey takes her through detours through time, space, and myth, as well as into the minds of a pack of philosophical mules. Along the way, she confronts her past and the men who have harmed her, seeking revenge and redemption.
Pity the Beast is a novel that explores the complexities of gender, power, and the human condition. It is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the Western genre, offering a fresh and unique perspective on the traditional narrative.
