Does… does the author even know what the story of Oedipus is?
From the blurb: “The hungry ghost of the winged sphinx imperils history on the very brink of redemption.”
I guess you’d have to read Chapter 21 “The Hungry Ghost of the Winged Sphinx” to “get” the cover.
The book Look Inside! starts with a massacre of palefaces and braves in Canada and the blood guilt of a soul in Limbo. There’s the promise a winged phoenix will show up, and six previous chapter titles include the word Mom, but that’s no guarantee Oedipus shows up.
We need a mixed signals tag when false flagging is not enough warning.
See, this is why we can’t have nice things.
